Default how many?

Any way to determine exactly how many of a given model, trans, options, color etc were built in a given year?
Thanks, E-fish

Try this site: http://www.compnine.com/vid.php



I think when you put in your VIN# it will tell you all info on your car including how many of each option

Then click on the model year and then the production.

The data returned by this link are completely flawed. This is a dealership/parts supply house that is building a database by submission of VIN numbers. In the meantime every car checked tends to turn up as 1 of 1 or 1 of 10 ever produced. Just not realistic. The problem is in the data (or lack there of) provided.

Damn! I was excited and thinking of selling my Vette as "extremely rare!"

I don't believe you are correct. They have all the same data that the Corvette Action Center production statistics pages have.

What I'm not certain about is if they have more or not. It appears that they do, but I'm not sure how.

My car is one of one with *everything* considered, but before I could craft the simpler search I wanted to do (4LT, AO, ebony/brick, manual, black top, F55 & NPP) I ran into their limit on daily VIN lookups.

Based on the production statistics from the other site, it's still likely to be one of one.

I'll have to play with it again tomorrow.

I have a 2010 GS that is not in the database - so it can't be too accurate.

I tend not to believe that site either, mine comes up as 1 of 1 and I find that hard to believe! But who knows? If you assume that the probability of a car having a given option is independent of the probability of having any other option then you can generate an approximation by calculating the overall option percentages for your car. Doing this for mine gives an estimate of 27 cars. However the assumption is poor since it is likely that options are not independent.

Yup, exactly what Paul said. The fact is, GM publishes production numbers for individual models, options, and colors but not combinations. The website listed does not have all of the data needed to provide the type of info that's being requested by the OP.

You can believe what ever you choose. I can tell you with 100% certainty that they do not have access to any additional data. I can tell you with 100% certainty that GM themselves does not make available the level of RPO comparative data that this site claims. The only reason a car comes back as one of one is because that person is the only person who has provided a VIN with that combination of options. This site is nothing more than an online parts vendor with a "hook" to draw people to their site and generate traffic. The vendor is simply compiling a database built on the shoulders of those submitting VIN's so that someday their data will be factual.
