QUESTION #8:
In 1970 there were 3 optional engines. Which OPTIONAL engine was the most popular (had the highest production count)?
In 1970, the base engine was 350ci, 300hp. But there were 3 other engines available as an option. The one that was most popular (most produced) was the 350ci, 350hp with 4,910 units made. Interestingly the more powerful 454ci, 390hp was only in 4,473 units. It may have been cost that kept them from being selected as the upgrade was $131 more than the 350ci/350hp (or $1092 in 2024 dollars)
QUESTION #9:
Corvette paint colors often have fancy names like "Monza Red". But if you strip out the fancy parts of the names and just get down to the basic color, in the case of "Monza Red" it would be just "Red", what was the most popular color of C3 Corvettes?
Using the available stats on how many C3 Corvettes were produced in each color (not all paint color stats are available), White was the most popular color. Surprisingly Red came in 4th place. With Silver being 2nd and Blue being 3rd. Note that two-tone paints (like "Black/Silver") or paints with two colors in their name (like "Silver Beige") were tallied as their own color. If we were to have counted those as simply "Silver" than Silver would have come in 1st place.
QUESTION #10:
There was one factory paint color that was used on only one C3 Corvette. Which color was used only on this one C3?
In 1977 only 1 Corvette was painted "Corvette Chartreuse". It was paried with a black interior. This color was not available on any other C3 model year.
