I can't find any production number info, sparty, but according to this listing: http://www.corvettesandmusclecars.com/listing-1975+Caprice+Classic+Convertible-242.html, convertibles with the 454 are rare. Good luck finding more info, and very sorry about your father.
the 454 in those cars is far from anything with muscle. I believe they were rated at about 215 hp. This engine went from a Rat motor to a pig . being that it was a gas gussler with no horse power. It should have dual exhaust. What condition is it in ? they are nice cruising cars .
Google is your friend. You will get a lot of information and pictures on this subject. In 1975, gas was not a major concern yet, and a lot of the big motors were ordered and sold.
