2246 total painted Atomic Orange that year out of 35,310 total cars; only 458 convertibles were Atomic Orange. I always think of Atomic Orange as an unusual color and very nice. Congratulations!!

I'm sure it's easier to find than I think, but where can I get that kind of information?

Corvette Black Book on Amazon. About 25USD. I just quoted the figures. It is very interesting to me to follow all the changes year to year. People will think you are crazy for reading it. Sort of like reading the phone book.

I would expect there to be some discussions about the Black Book on the forum. It is the best information published and some dispute the figures. I think it must at least be close.

For example I recently learned that there was no 1983 Corvette. Silly me!!

Here's a thread: Black book vs Corvette DNA app - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion

Convertible with a 6 speed manual, it doesn't get any better than that.
Looks like a well loved Corvette.
Congrats
