Hi t,
I'd say yes.
No combination numbers are available, but out of 21,800 car built:
LS5…5097
4-speed….11800
P/S…17904
P/B…13558
P/W…6192
So I'd say if anything would make the combo you asked about a bit unusual it would be the P/W.
Regards,
Alan

A "radio delete" would be a biggie.

Google "1971 Corvette Specifications" and you'll find a couple of great websites that give a lot of information.

Hi,
There was no such thing as a 'radio delete'.
The radio was an option so there was nothing to DELETE.
Cars that didn't have an optional radio got a cover plate for the center gauge bezel. (Along with no ignition shielding.)
L-88, ZR-! and ZR-2 cars couldn't be ordered with radios and thus had the cover plate on the bezel. This gave the plate a "racy" aura.
If ANYTHING these cars were "fan shroud DELETE" cars!
Wasn't there a time when cars going to certain climates could be 'heater delete'…. and isn't that how the phrase began?
Regards,
Alan

The first example I can think of was the VERY few 1963's that came with drum brakes because the buyers were afraid of those "new fangled" disc brakes.

Hi TBTR,
No disc brakes were available on Corvettes until the 1965 model year.
The disc brakes were standard equipment.
Regards,
Alan

Option J61 could be checked which were drum brakes and a $65 credit was included in the cars MSRP. 316 1965 cars were shipped with drum brakes.
