VIN collector question

So. I have a Collector car. How can one determine what number mine is? Meaning they built 25,407 vettes in ' 82. of those 6759 were collector series cars that were built to order. Let's just say mine falls in line with the VIN saying I have the car that was built at the 15.000 mark.
Was my car the 3rd or 300th collector that was built.
Maybe this information is impossible to find at this point, but thought I would ask.
Thanks for any feedback Clint

I think Chevrolet did not keep that kind of information. The RPO was 1YY07 and finding any statistics based on RPO is almost impossible.

Well that's too bad, because it would be really interesting to know that

Sorry. You could sleuth around on the C3 registry site to get an idea if its an early or late car but that's it.
