Default Options numbers generator?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a way to find out how many corvettes were made with a specific set of options?

I’ve seen breakdowns of coupe vs convertible per year, and how many of each option was ordered…

But what if I want to know how many 71s were convertible LS5s, in Mulsanne blue with factory AC, etc?

I’m an Apple guy, so I gotta ask,”Is there an app for that?”

The production records were lost. AFAIK, there is no way to figure out production numbers for specific options, at least before 1977. The best you can do is a percentage. After 1977, the dealer invoices still exist, but I don't know if anyone has bought all of one year (at $50- each from the GM Historical Center) to do the math.

Sadly, the best you can do is an educated guess. No way to break down options that specifically.

I thought the Corvette Black Book had those numbers.

Unfortunately, each guess is more random than educated, even using percentages. There’s no validity to the guesses.

Usually, the reason people start trying to guess is because they think their car is a particularly rare combination. The problem is, most cars are.
