I don't remember where I saw it but some dealer had a silver Nova with a bright red interior. I love Cortez silver but that interior was hard to stomach.

sometimes dealers would make a mistake when they ordered a car.

over the years I have owned a few that stick in my mind.

69 Gold vette with dark green interior
68 burnt orange Vette with tobaco (dark Brown) interior
Black Olds with a tan interior.

They sound worse than they actually look.

At the ACES Chevelle-Abration in Tenn.,I took pictures of a 1970 Cortez silver/red interior Chevelle.
Once I had them developed,...I burned them.

Back in the summer I sold a 69Z with gold body, brown top and green interior. I could not imagine someone ordering the car with those color combos.

If I am not mistaken there is a 69 COPO Camaro that is Olympic Gold with Green Interior.
IMO Cortez Silver with Red interior is a great Color Combo. Also like the 66 Vette with Silver pearl over red leather.

A car matching this description was at Vettefest. I have also seen it at Super Chevy Indy. An RSZ. Yours?
