hmm thats a cool color combo infact theres one such car here in Vancouver that has been on sale since september or longer and its also a LT4 with white exterior and red interior looks cool i was going to get it first but well i am no good at driving a manual tranny so i made a more humble choice and stuck to the 89 :)
Here's some mathematical probabilities based on production numbers.
6359 LT4s built
-1000 Grand Sports leave as total of 5359 for all the other colors.
A total of 21,536 Corvettes were built in 96. Take out the 1000 GS cars and the LT4s are approx. 26% of the balance of total production. 3210 Arctic white cars were produced in 96 which is about 16% of the total, not including the GS models. If you take 16% of 5359 LT4s you get about 857 Arctic white LT4s. There were 4 interior choices, (black, light beige, light grey and red). If each interior represented 25% of the production, 25% of the 857 Arctic White LT4s would be be ~ 214. So, if all the assumptions are good, there should be about 214 Arctic White LT4s with a red interior. ~20% of that number would be ragtops. My brain hurts.
Go to Production #s -> Arctic white, and you'll find...
71 6-speed Coupes with red interior
28 6-speed Convertibles with red interior
(6-speed implies LT4)
If I do this right a hyper link will show for Rottie's web site. He has the best data base that I know of for LT4's. I know mine is one of 28 white convertibles with red interiors with the LT4. Try this: http://members.lightstream.net/~rott...ction/10u.html
If that site is correct then mine is 1 of 4 CY coupes, 6 speed with F45 suspension.
How is that yeller car doing? Chris Lemoine emailed me the other night and asked if I had heard from you lately. I love that Yellow vette plus with the LT4 engine in it makes it very special. :yesnod: You ready to make a trip to La again? :lol:

Yep, isn't that cool? You and I have 2 of the 16 yellow/beige LT4 coupes! When your car came up for sale I was really hoping someone on the forum would buy it. I came across this link you'll be interested in... check out this guy's "Vette #8"... http://216.254.32.120/sep/sc.html
In my signature, I have listed that my car is one of 6 yellow/beige Z51 coupes in '96. Rottie doesn't have breakdowns of Z51 cars in '96, except in Grand Sports and Collector Edition cars. So I know that my car is one of those 6 with Z51, I just wish I knew how many of those 6 were LT4s! Well, at least one! Hopefully soon they'll be able to breakdown the Z51 cars.
Sorry, I just love these statistics - they're a lot of fun to think about. When you break it down, it's really cool to realize how unique each car really is!
