Default Production numbers

Hello all ! 3 time corvette owner, first time forum participant. I recently purchased a 1972 corvette convertible, base model, 4 speed in pewter silver. Complete car, matching numbers. Not a trophy car but a unrestored great driver with new paint. I was wondering how many of these were made? I do know it is a one year color but is a base 350 4 speed. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

It may be a base 350 but you have some nice options like PS, PB, and leather seats/plush carpet interior. Fine looking car.
