Nobody knows.
Only Chevrolet/Fisher body can answer that,and they don't even know.
The best we can do is make a guesstimate based on these recorded Chevrolet facts.
9486 RPO L-78 1969 SS Chevelle/Elcaminos produced.
6211 RPO CO-6 Electric folding top Chevelle/Malibus produced.
Add to that,the unknown figure for RPO CO-5 manual folding top as well,but how many made was not recorded.
Extrapolation is all that remains today.

As Rick says, no one knows for sure.

There is a guy named Daniel Carr from Colorado, who has put forth substantial effort to extrapolate production figures for these vehicles. He publishes a poster showing all the "guesstimated" totals. His poster estimates the following production figures for convertible 1969 Chevelles:

L78 manual trans - 180
L78 auto trans - 36
L89 manual trans - 8
L89 auto trans - 1
