Chris Piscitello wanted me to post some pics of a car he used to own...with a rare color combo. It was black...with a blue leather interior and a blue soft top!

Enjoy!

Anybody remember the '69 Z/28 that Carl Dwiggins owned that was Yellow with Green Interior?

------704,,,That triple yellow color was a featured color in 67 on Cutlass and 442 convert models. There still werent many of them but I have probably seen 15 or 20 over the years.......Bill S

The Orange Hounds Tooth was a standard feature or RPO code for a Z10 or Z11 however the interior itself could be ordered with any exterior colour. It just so happens very few people found the interior an appealing choice with most exterior colours. My car was definitely a speacial order and having been built right before Halloween it has been dubbed "The Pumpkin" I have never seen another like it and feel very forunate to own such a car. I have the original micro fische build sheet and General Motors of Canada documentation. I will share additonal photographs if anyone is interested. Thanks for the interest!

Your Z is indeed a stunning car and I enjoyed getting the "personal tour" at last years Performance World show in Toronto.

Will you be showing anything at Performance World next weekend? Look for a fresh Rally Green 69 Nickey Vintage Continuation Series 427 COPO Camaro, fresh out of Nickey Chicago to make its premier showing!

Hope to see you there.

Ok, I'll play.
Here's my 69 Chevelle, Cortez Silver with blue cloth interior.

Good evening Bob,
Thank you very much, it was a pleasure meeting you as well. I quite enjoyed spending time with you and Fred both. The cars were exceptional and I can hardly wait to see the Rally Green car! I will once again be in the front building but this year has a bit of a twist. I will be showing my 1970 Plymouth Cuda, not a Camaro. Please search me out and I will do the same for you. I am going to be in and out as I have four children in hockey and all in in their respective playoffs. If you wish Bob PM me and I will forward my personal cell.
Thanks,
Richard.

I'm confused, so I'll rephrase:

Was the orange houndstooth normally available on cars other than the Z11/Z10 cars? Or did it have to be a special-ordered car if you wanted that interior? I know white, black, and yellow houndstooth were regularly available, but I've had the impression it was Z11/Z10-only. I could be wrong, though.

Checked the CRG site and they mention that White and Black cars have been found with the Orange houndstooth but it was mostly intended for the Orange cars. I beleive that no Z10 has been found with this interior (last that I heard). I had a Hugger Orange/Black vinyl top Z/28 that also had the Orange houndstooth.
