Default 2002 trans am ws6 convert

I traded my 98 z28 in for a 2002 pewter metalic trans am ws6 convertable with a white vinyl top. I'm having trouble finding out how many ws6 converts came with white tops. Can anyone help me?

67 WS6's had the white convertible top regardless of car color. Code 10T will verify it is the original top color. 175 WS6's were Pewter this is both coupe and convertible. Code 11U is the color. I can't find a breakdown using both codes together to give an amount for that combination but there probably aren't many.

it's A4, the 67 units made with, conv w/white top includes Trans Am and the collectors edition. So I thinking mine being a Trans Am WS6 W/White top should be a low number.

I'm pretty sure all the C/Es had black tops. But yeah, a little more than 1/2 of the WS6 'verts had A4s, so probably less than 40 white-top WS6 'verts w/ A4 were built, and assuming those were evenly distributed across the paint colors, even less that were pewter. White tops are definately unusual.

OH yeah it's got black leather interior, if that makes a difference.

Not to steal any thunder, but how many triple black ws6s were built in 02, with the Hurst M6?

I havent seen anything the same year yet, but I am sure it wasnt that rare.

Also where do you look for the codes you are using to ID the numbers??

Keeping my eye on these boards and grabbing any legit info I find. I've been working on a spreadsheet for the 4-th gen Firebirds over the years, just need to finish it and get it posted for all to refer to.
