1215 were convertibles.

I don't think you will find any more detailed info, as how many of that color were built with what options.

You can go to a site like idavette.net and review the production facts and the percentages and do some math to make some assumptions.


Mag Red II 1215 or 9%
MN6 5107 or 38%
Black top 9115 or 68%
Black interior 7828 or 58%

With this information, if you make some assumptions on the linearity of the production run you can estimate 461.7 Mag Reds were 6 speeds
and 826.2 had Black tops
and 704.7 had black interiors

and further estimate using the same statistical conclusions that you are somewhere between 461.7 and 704.7 if 100% of the 6 speeds had black tops and black interiors.

Other than these assumptions I don't believe that any more detailed prodution statistics are maintained (or at least are not publicly available)

As others mentioned above, GM did not publish final C5 production numbers for combinations of options like you're wanting. They only published numbers of each of the options by type of car (i.e., coupe, vert FRC/Z06). Using extrapolation as mentioned above, you can probably only come up with some estimation at best as to the number of cars like your that were made.

The big flaw in this calculation method, is that the black top stats were for all color cars.

Black top/interior may have been the most popular considering all colors, but I can bet the majority of Mag Red cars were built with Oak trim, which would make his MR/black combo more rare that what you can statistically predict.

Actually all of the percentages are across the whole production run of 33682. That's why I indicated that I am assuming some linearity across the production. I was just trying to put some sense to the numbers. I would consider that the color scheme is probably more rare than my predicitons but I bet that the 6 speed option is a relatively safe basis for conclusion and using that I simply assigned a window. My numbers work out to 13.7% which is probably high for the black/black combo MN6 but at least he now has a fun guess at a max number produced anyway.

I guess it will be impossible to figure out...At least I do know I am
happy to say the numbers are pretty low for what i have!
Do we think in 25 years it will be a rare find???

The way they are screwing up the gas supply, in 25 years any gas engine car will be on blocks in your back yard and a bicycle will be in your garage.
