1971 Production Volumes by Model Variant

The coupe took a 2 to 1 sales lead over the convertible – a result which many believed was the result of the C3’s introduction of T-tops in 1969. Prior to that point, Corvette convertibles had actually dominated sales, but starting in 1969, more coupes than convertibles were sold with each model year that passed. 14,680 coupes were made (67% of all cars produced), whereas the convertible sold only 7,121 units (33% of all cars produced).
