I have a 1969 SSRS 396 camaro with AC,deluxe interior,console gauges,Automatic, and fold down rear seat.Any idea how many were made with options like this?

My percentages may be off a bit, but around 17% of 1969 Camaros were RS cars. There were 2018 396/350 cars made or around 340 RS SS 396/350 cars. There were 6750 396/325 cars made or around 1140 RS SS 396/325 cars made. All this info is on the CRG website. You can keep doing the arithmetic for all the other options if you like. If my percentage of 17% is off too much one of the CRG members here will straighten it out. But you have a basic picture. One other thing, I am not sure how the Pace Cars figure in the mix.

Go with Gary's numbers. You'll never get an exact number of cars made with exactly your options. GM didn't keep track of it like that.

Throw in the statistical probability of all the options, including color, and you can get it to close to one of one.

I looked at a 396/350 A/C car once that was rusting away in a guy's driveway. The car was not for sale, but he had replaced the shifter with one from Pep Boys. The car was not for sale, but the shifter was (including bracket and linkage). The shifter now resides in my Yenko Tribute Car.

And the small block shifter I was planning to use (including s/b bracket and linkage) now resides in GaryL's Z/28.

Back to the statistical discussion, I'm pretty sure my Yenko Tribute Car with A/C and CE coded COPO motor, is one of one. But being One of One does not necessarily mean extra valuable. One noted exception would be Pete Estes's one of one 68 Z/28 convertible, which fetched something a little north of One Million!

Here are some estimates the uscc did years ago. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a180/mr396/Picture_314.jpg

Estimating on more that two, maybe three, option combinations is just a total guess.
Some of those option percentages listed above are stated by people as fact and it ain't so. Esp when I've seen more cars that actually have those options than the numbers say.....
