Hi Steve,
Welcome!
There's no accurate way to know.
Although Chevrolet kept track of the number of particular options that were ordered, they didn't track any 'combinations of options' on cars.
So people sometimes come up with estimates by interpolating from the options on a certain car.
So really an 'informed guess' is about the best you can do.
For example:
20,496 coupes were built.
17,227 cars had a/c
1617 were Bryar Blue
Regards,
Alan

Hi Steve,
According to the 2015 Black Book, there were:
3,913 -454's built( total)
17,011 with air
20,496 coupes out of a total 26,996 cars built in 72.
1,617 total Bryar Blues built, includes convertibles too.
You could try to do some "cypherin'"

PS: I'm too slow/Alan beat me to the punch again!!

Attempting to regress the Black Book numbers won't work. Right off the bat, no one knows how many coupes were Bryar Blue. You can get a "guesstimate", but that's all it would be.

There may be no way to accurately determine how many, but your car sounds like a very special example! And to add, one of my most favorite colors, ever applied to a Corvette!
How about a picture or two?

You could make a 'statistical' estimate, but it wouldn't have any real validity, since there are NO detailed records available. I would 'guess' that there would have been 200 or more cars made very similar to yours.
