How rare is this?

[Glenn S.]

I have just finished restoring a 66 roadster ,Ermine White/White Blue interior, all Born With matching number car,427/390
4 spd,PS.PW,A/C,factory side exhaust,aux hardtop,air injector reactor, when new it went to GM Engineering code 502 zone 0
per NCRS data report, I have done some research and cannot find many this color combo let alone BB roadsters with
options as these, opinions? Thanks

GM did not keep data on option combinations nor can it be calculated with any degree of accuracy. Anybody who states that their car is one of X has simply invented the number.

I was not implying that that it was one of anything, just wanted to know if anyone else knows of one , that all, Thanks

If you're asking if anyone knows of a car with the same combination of options that you have, I expect that no one will have knowledge of such a car. As I've said many times before, considering all of the options available, body style, exterior color and interior color, just about every Corvette was unique or, at most, one of a handful of identical cars manufactured.

There is an early '70s volume titled "Production Trends", with a "Restricted Distribution" list of 50 names, most of which you might recognize for some significant connection with Chevrolet/Corvette. Much safer to ignore "Never-nevers".

Cool car and was intended for eventual use/registration in California with the smog pump. I found a similar '67 last year with the same codes and a smog pump that apparently never made it to California. Maybe intended for executive use and eventual registration by a California executive of GM. I bet there,s a good story behind the car. It would be a great car to drive with that engine.

My 67 convertible L79 is white/white. Carpet, Belts, and Dash are black. Not that I've seen another like mine but I'm sure there are a few others out there. I'm glad it's not a California car with the smog stuff.

I decided to try a little calculation to see how many different combinations of options were possible for a 1966 Corvette. I exceeded the range of my calculator before I got finished. Plus, it gets complicated to do a precise calculation because some of the options have restrictions. So, I decided to keep it simple and just use exterior color, body style (coupe or convertible), engine options and unrestricted options. I came up with over 5.2 million possible combinations. Adding in interior color and restricted options would vastly increase that number.
