Hey folks. I'm new here. In fact I'm new to Corvettes in general. I live in sunny Sol Cal. My first Corvette is a 1975 convertible. Found production numbers for 1974 convertibles, but wondering where I can drill down a bit further. Like L82, color combo, vinyl covered hardtop, etc.

1975.
4,629 convertibles built.
L82 - 350 ci 205 HP engine - 2,352 of them - $336
C08 - Vinyl Covered Hardtop - 279 of them - $350
What color combo are you talking about?
Wait for a moderator to move this to the C3 forum.
There are lots of sites that have production numbers for specific options, but none that correlate them. So you will never know how many white on red L82 4-speed convertibles were made in 1975, for example. Those records have been lost.
The GM Media Archive once hosted PDFs with this info, but they changed their site recently.
Welcome to the Forum, Oddest Ball. There are great Corvette enthusiasts here on this Forum with lots of knowledge and a willingness to help. Please post pictures of your car.
Adding some clarity to a previous post:

.
It should read:
1975 total production = 38,465
4,629 convertibles built
33,836 coupes built
Of the 38,465 total 1975 production, 2,372 were equiped with the L-82 engine.
L-82 distribution is as follows:
L-82 convertibles = 366
L-82 coupes = 2,007
1 GM L-82 coupe was destroyed (crashed) on a Pikes Peak run. It is not included in the widely published total production number (2,372 sold) but does make the breakdown totals above (this crashed car needs verification).
See the letter below:
1975 L-82 Production Breakdown. Thank you Paul B.
Any further breakdowns would be assumptions and interpolations only.
I hope this helps. Please tell us more about your car and post pics.

That’s awesome! Really appreciate the quick response. I’m excitedly waiting on the delivery of my car. It’s on it’s way back from Canada. Wire transfer completed and now getting the sellers assistance with a shipper.
