- 1992 Coupe, Corvette Yellow, 6-Speed!
Since this extrapolation subject was so interesting, I did further research using even more accurate data than that provided by The Corvette Black Book. I recently purchased Cor-Vette Specs. I discovered this reference book to provide much better details and a breakdown of production facts. Using this information and extrapolating the data for my '92 LT1, I was able to determine that mine is more accurately 1 of 4 built as opposed to the 1 in 12 figure I calculated using my first reference in the previous post. Here's the way it worked out:
1992 Exterior Data:
A total of 14,604 Coupes were produced.
Code 53, Yellow, 448 Coupes = 3.067% of total
Interior Data :
Code 193, Base Leather Black, 3,892 = 26.65% of total
Option Data:
Code MN6, 6-speed, 4,070 = 27.869% of total
Code FX3, Electronic Selective Ride, 4,042 = 27.677% of total
Code C68, Electronic A/C Control, 12,771 = 87.448 % of total
Code AC1, Power Passenger Seat, 10,978 = 75.171% of total
Code U1F, Bose AM/FM Stereo w/Cassette & CD, 10,292 = 70.473% of the total
To find the "uniquiness" of my Vette I just multiplied the known percentages of the known number of Coupes that were produced in the 1992 Model year. Using these facts I didn't need worry about all the ZR-1's or convertibles that have the 6-speed, as they are already separated from the totals. Great reference book.
Anyway, here's how mine shakes out without rounding off the
calculation:
There are 448 Corvette LT1 Yellow Coupes known to be built.
(448) (.27869) = 124.853 w/6-speed
(124.853) (.27677) = 34.555 w/FX3
(34.555) (.2665) = 9.209 w/Base Leather Black
(9.209) (.87448) = 8.053 w/Electronic A/C
(8.053) (.75171) = 6.053 w/Power Pax Seats
(6.053) (.70473) = 4.266 w/Bose AM/FM Stereo w/Cassette & CD
So I can safely say that my Corvette is definately 1 of 4 produced. Pretty cool, eh?
