Maybe someone else will chime in, but I do not believe GM releases numbers like that.
I can tell you how many cars were black, I can tell you how many cars were convertibles, I can tell you how many had black tops and I can tell you how many had black interiors, but I dont think there is a number from the general that will tell us that exact combination.

According to this web site -
http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/.../2002prod.html
There were 2402 black convertibles made. Further, 66% of all Corvette convertibles had black interiors, so you can assume that 66% of the black convertibles had black interiors which is 1585. Then - 73% of all convertibles had black tops - so 73% of 1585 is 1157.
This is not an exact science, it's called interpolation. As mentioned - GM doesn't maintain production numbers to the level of detail that you need, so the only thing you can do is interpolate. The resulting number is probably in the ballpark.

Not C5, but look at my Z28's production stats:
Total 1994 production - 119,799 vehicles
Z28 Convertible: 4,932 or 4.11%
6 speed manual transmission: 8,742 or 7.30%
Exterior in Dark Green-Gray: 4,710 or 3.93%
Making the total approximate number of cars like mine .012% or approximately 14 cars

Unless you know how many cars had your EXACT options you can't just use % and multiply them to achieve the desired result.

I realize that it is a really rough appriximation. It's the best I can do.
