2,898 L71 made,
708 Tuxedo Black Painted

So less then 708.

It's hard to say since there are no exact records on particular color combination and colors. Most likely less than a handful or so convertibles built in that configuration.

I just looked at the corvette registry and there are 12 Tuxedo Black 435 convertibles listed out of all the cars registered. That doesn't mean that all of them are original 900 code black cars because there are tons of fake 900 code cars with repo trim tags out there.

If you go by percentages, then 10% of the total production of cars that year had the 435 engine.
So then 10% of black cars is roughly 71 cars. Converts outnumbered coupes roughly 2 to 1 so that would be 48 or so. With white top? Not sure.
