I don't believe GM kept records by options.

That seems awfully low, I still see quite a few 81-83 Regals both for sale and on the road. I know many Regals were cut up for circle track use.

The figures I have are 123119 Coupes and turbo Sport Coupes and 116352 Limiteds.

My source is a book of American automobiles compiled by editors of Consumer Guide.

I think it most unlikely you will find a breakdown of how many cars had trim and accessory options from any source.
If you do let us know please.

Roger.

Interesting. I would assume this is just currently registered, not counting those sitting in someone's barn or garage that has been run in a decade. Is this information easy to find? I would certainly be curious to see the numbers for all g-bodies.

:D Thanks, now I know where to get the information. Of course I don't really need it bad enough to pay for it... Maybe if I could actually use the info for something worth while... :?
