I think I read a triple white 92 vert was the millionth corvette built.

The 1 millionth Corvette built was indeed a white convertible, but it had a red interior and a black top (as did the original 53's).

I have white interior also, and these numbers are not available.

I have heard that there is around 750 triple whites made each year available(92 & 93).

From the black book

14,604 coupes and 5875 verts
4101 White vettes total
1892 White tops

Therefore:

(1892/5875)*(4101/20,479)*5875 is the statistical number of triple whites
No calculator handy

Well like I said - that's the statistical number, I'm not aware that any further breakdown is actually published

As Homer would say - "I tried my best and failed miserably - the moral - Don't Try"

378 based upon your figures. I've seen triple black cars, but not a triple white.

I am also a triple white owner. I noticed you were trying to calculate it by the # of white tops and white exterior. Those two are actually somewhat common. What makes it somewhat rare is that only 709 vettes had white seats in 1992. Also white seats were available between 92 and 93 only. I have heard less than 200 triple whites myself.

According to Corvette Specs - C4 1984-1996 Models:

There were 1461 white interiors in 1992. 752 base, 709 sport
There were 1388 white interiors in 1993.

If you take the number of cars made that year, and divide by all the colors made in that year, then divide by white interiors made, you can come up with an idea of what it might be. Then divide by percentage of verts to break it down even more. Then divide by percentage of 6 speed to break it down even farther. But that really doesn't get you in the ballpark either. Some colors were made on 3000 cars and some were made on the 300 cars. You'd have to really break out the calculator. I haven't even gone that far. There is just no way of knowing exactly how many were made of each color. Believe me, I've looked everywhere, these numbers were not kept. Now I did bring this up to both Gordon Killebrew and Dave McLellan while talking to them, and of course they couldn't give any numbers either, but each did say triple white seemed to be the most popular of the white interior cars.
Now you would think that since you can order your build sheet through the Corvette Museum, that maybe they would be able to calculate this somehow? Maybe I will see if they would be willing to do this?

Hope this helps, and enjoy a unique and rare interior.
