Was 1969 rally wheel silver paint the same color mix as 1969 Cortez Silver wheel paint? I know 1967 rally wheel paint is a very different hue (darker and lower gloss) than Cortez Silver. Don't know if that was still true in 69 though.

If they were two different color mixes, then if the paint on these wheels is Cortez Silver that would support the theory they left the factory on a Cortez Silver dog-dish car. But if they are 69 rally wheel silver, that would support a factory substitution for unavailable rallies.

^. Just what I was scrolling through to see if it was asked! I’m curious too.

Argent or Cortez silver?

Theres a 6-19 xj rally in the for sale section.

???

Would need to be 6-8 to predate this car.

What is a XJ ?

Charley......did you ever figure out the great mystery to this question?

Waiting to hear from Gary...

John,

The original owner installed gauges aftermarket tach and gauges and bet those wires are for the amp gauge. I owned the car 16 years but not 100% sure... about 95% :grin:

Steve, not to digress, but do you still own that Cortez Silver 69 at this time?
