        What Dennis is trying to say is this.... We have factory production records and MOST of them simply say how many of this/that were made. When you get into compound probability statistics (how many with this, without that, but with this and that), there is no data.

        Now, some items were inter-related. Take rear ends for example. They came with or without positraction and there were separate factory broadcast codes for each rear end assy that tied it the car's 'upstream' engine and transmission configuration. With a book like Noland Adams' Complete Corvette Restoration, Vol 2, you can go to the section where he recites factory original build data by broadcast code and actually get a count of how many Corvettes were built with this HP engine, that transmission, and this rear end configuration.

        By the way, if you do this exercise, you'll also discover factory data documenting there WERE a handful of 1965 Corvettes built and shipped with M22, Rock Crusher, manual transmissions! Al Colvin discovered this fact by gaining access to obscure Muncie plant production data and I came to the same conclusion by looking at what Noland had missed in his existing published data.

        But, when it comes to non-related items like HP and interior/exterior color, the records simply aren't there....
