I'm looking for some help on determining the number of 1980 L82's that where produced with the same exterior and interior that I have.

                                          

I know there were 3,451 Dark Claret exteriors (code 76) produced – but don’t know how many of those had the Claret Leather interiors (code 792).

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Mark,

My book that I have for colors from '80 to '82 is not 100%.   

Here's what it says:

76 with 492:  1

76 with 192:  779

76 with 79C:  491

76 with 792:   831

76 with 59C:   243

76 with 592:   466

76 with 12C:   206

76 with 122:   418

This only is total of 3,435  so you can see that it's not 100% correct.

Hope this helps.

Your answer is right there...."76 with 792:   831"
There is virtually no way to determine how many of these had the L-82, and this color combo. We can only speculate.

I tried looking for the L-82's and ditto Joel.   There's no way and only speculate.   Wish there was a way without asking all the owners that have '80's.  That will be a forever job.  

You would think that GM would have that info somewhere so they would know which combinations are the most popular. Anyone good at hacking?

Hey guys!

Where are you getting your numbers?  I'm just starting to research my 72, and I'd like to know what books are a must have. 

I tried looking up the St. Louis plant for build info, but didn't find much.  I wish the National Museum had build sheets/info for the older cars.  Any luck on finding any info on the older vettes?

Thanks!

GM was not in the business of collecting information. It was in the car making business. Keeping records was the last thing it wanted to worry about. When the B.G. assy plant started up, there was a concerted effort to record/archive production numbers. Very little is available(from GM) for the 53-81 St.Louis built cars.

Wow, that was fast!  Thanks!!

Pontiac did a good job of archiving their cars so I know it could be done.There might be a wharehouse with a bunch of microfish somewhere.Getting someone to go through it all is something else though.

  Try www.corvetteactioncenter.com in the knowledge base type in the year. It will give you some numbers to keep you busy. If you know a mathmatician it maybe figured out. You may come close
