Default Corvette 1973 in numbers

Hi, I have a corvette 1973 and I'm trying to find out just how many that was made with my combination of hardware. I have a 454 with a four on the floor ( 4 speed manual) I have found data of numbers of 454 and of manual gearboxes but not the combined.. Thanks for all replies regarding this

Sorry, but GM did not keep records of options combinations.

Without actual production numbers, it's done by guessing.

A big block 4 speed car would not otherwise be rare.

Roughly one out of 6 73's was a big block. (4412) About one of three 73's was a 4-speed. (7624) Projecting then, that one out of three big blocks was a 4-speed, there would have been around 1500 of them built. Not really rare at all, but less common than a base-motor automatic by far.
