There is a guy named Daniel Carr from Colorado, who has put forth substantial effort to extrapolate production figures for these vehicles. He publishes a poster showing all the "guesstimated" totals. His poster estimates the following production figures for convertible 1969 Chevelles:

L78 manual trans - 180
L78 auto trans - 36
L89 manual trans - 8
L89 auto trans - 1

I am sure Daniel Carr knows more about statistics than I do, but I never put much credence in his numbers. For example, with an anomaly like the LS5/LS6 figures (where the more expensive/powerful motor was more popular), he logically concludes that more ragtops were built with the LS6 than the LS5, but I don't believe that.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I wouldn't be surprised if the L78 figures he speculates are more than the reality.
