The option added $4,995 to the MSRP for 1LT and 2LT trims and $5,995 for the 3LT trim. The 2019 production quantity was 95 (.27%).

Convertible / Coupe Stats for 2019:
Totals for 2019 Corvette is 34,822.
29,401 Coupes (84.4%), 5,421 (15.6%) Convertibles. This compares to 20.31% coupes and 19.69% convertibles for the C7 generation.

Convertible / Coupe Stats for 2019, by model:
Stingray (Total: 13,691) coupe: 11,499 (84.0%); convertible: 2,192(16%)
Grand Sport (Total: 11,241) coupe: 9,496(84.5%); convertible: 1,745(15.5%)
Z06 (Total: 6,937) coupe: 5,965(86%); convertible: 972(14%)
ZR1 (Total: 2,953) coupe: 2,441(82.7%); convertible: 512(17.3%)

The convertible / coupe stats are around 16% for the four 2019 Corvette models. One surprise is the (marginally) higher rate for the ZR1 at 17.3%. By all accounts the ZR1 is a track focused car for which the coupe holds a distinct advantage. Go figure.

There are some interesting very low volume Corvettes for 2019. One is the RPO (Regular Production Order) PIN, the Personal Identification Number. First available in 2011, it is (as described on the official standard equipment list) a "Customer selectable VIN ending". The idea is, for example, that an owner of a C3 ZR-1 (53 were made in 1970 thru 1972) could get a 2019 ZR1 with the same VIN sequence digits as their earlier ZR-1. The catch? The fee was $5,000.00 and so only 19 (0.05%) were issued for 2019, including 11 ZR1 coupes, seven ZR1 convertibles and one Z06 coupe.

According to the 2019 Corvette Final Year End Data PDF file, if you own a 2019 Stingray convertible with Torque Directional Painted Aluminum Wheels (RPO RNM) you are one of only two. That's only 0.0057% of the total 2019 production. 33 Stingray Coupe owners have the same option.

Right: 2019 Corvette Grand Sport with the Full Carbon Flash stripe, RPO DTH, $950.00 and is one of 67 (0.19% of the 2019 Corvette production, 0.70% of 2019 Grand Sport production) Grand Sport Coupes so equipped.

Some of the various stripe options in 2019 are also quite rare. Most uncommon would be the Full Inferno Orange (RPO DTQ); it was part of only nine Corvettes over the eight models for 2019.
