There are no records broken down for individual production like that. Only total convertibles built.

I can guarantee that NONE were V6.
Statistics will indicate that probably over half of them were built with the 307 engine.

It was a pretty rare car when it was new, since over 500,000 Chevellels were made in 1969. Now over 40 years of attrition later, it is much more so.
I've got my eye on one sitting in a backyard. Maybe one day...

Maybe we should start our own registry?
Our 307 cars are probably more rare than an SS396 now !

My car has factory black interior with buckets and console. Power top, AC, PDB, PS. Came with a TH350 also.

Nice thing about 307 cars. They usually weren't driven hard or hot rodded. (unless the engine was swapped for larger). I know mine wasn't.

mine was an original 307 PG. But like a fool I cut it up and put in a better engine and transmission :)
