Re: Heritage Conv.
All '92 Camaros (vert or otherwise) were Heritage editions. If you mean, how many got the Heritage Package (RPO Z03) exterior appearance option, only 8,197 out of a total of 70,007 got it. About 12%.
How many were verts? There is no specific number. The closest I think we can come is by applying the 12% to the 1,254 Z28 verts made that year and you get around ~150.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking, but my fingers weren't! 
The rest regards to Z03 is correct. I typed that after my kids left the room.

Re: Heritage Conv.
Unfortunately I do not think the numbers will ever be released, it has been 17 years and nothing about the breakdowns like this that I have seen... it is a shame, but the way it is.

Re: Heritage Conv.
okfoz - so were numbers tracked that are not being released or did they not keep track at all?

Re: Heritage Conv.
From what I understand is they have a list of individual options as they were produced. At the end of the year they compiled the information and you got so many with power windows, so many with cruise control, so many with Heritage Edition, so many convertibles, etc....
As time goes on it appears that the information is slowly lost due to time because they do not find it particularly interesting, nor do they find there is any money to be made in it, so what is the point. As of a year os so ago, GM retained the RPO information in a computer that could be brought up with any Dealers Service computer, Chevrolet guys for some reason were able to go back much further than Pontiac. So the information was there, unfortunately it has never been compiled in such a way. The reason is really pretty simple to explain. Consider that there were 20 options on any given car and for each year. By the time you get crunching numbers you would have a list possibly 100 pages long if you took every possible combination.
In theory, it would be possible to have 8197 possible different combination's of the Heritage cars alone. Albeit there are probably way less because there are some cars that are identical cars out there, but by the time you get things figured out it did not make sense to compile the information in such a way.
The only reason why things like the 1969 ZL1 camaros are available is they only made something like 69 or 70 of them. When you have such a short list to compile it is not that much work to go through them all and come to the conclusion that this is a 1 of 3 car. In short when you get above 2500 cars it becomes very tedious to go through all of them and break them apart.
What you are asking for does not sound all that unreasonable, more or less you want two options Hard top and Convertible to be broken apart, this would not be that difficult if you could get the entire log for all 70008 Camaros in 1992.

Re: Heritage Conv.
