Charcoal/Silver 729
Inca Silver/Black 36
Panama Yellow/White 190
Regal Turquoise/White 252
Signet Red/White 756
Silver Blue/Silver 757
Snowcrest White/Silver 499
Tuxedo Black/Silver 199
(The numbers are slightly off which is likely due to the changeover from charcoal to black mid-production).
And the whitewall tires were a defining characteristic but no one is pushing to bring them back, nor the Corvette hubcaps.
