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?

Not sure, Darren, but things got done back then that one would think might not be possible. As Jim Mattison has said, some GM cars even got painted Mopar Hi-Impact colors

No doubt Bill. And this was a case of it as the color and trim sheet lists the choices of black and white interiors only. Orange houndstooth was obviously next to come.

That car must have been the product of a bunch of workers having fun.
