2,485 had rear defrost. I'm pretty sure it was only available on the coupes. There were 22,149 coupes produced.

The alarm system was an option. 12,436 produced.

Actually, the rear window defroster was apparently available on convertibles in '69, per Vette Vues, but the vent was in the deck behind the driver.
