Default Silver with red interior

I was just reading an old post about silver with red interior being rare and a special order for 1967. I have a 65 vert that is silver pearl with red vinyl interior. Is it rare or did it have to be special ordered, i.e. COPO?

Thanks for your input.

I hate not to answer your question, but that may be the best combination for a midyear! Stunning!

Silver Pearl with Red interior was a color option in '65 and therefore not a COPO order paint / trim combo.

I believe silver/red was an available color option for 1963 through 1965 but not for 1966 or 1967.

From what I understand,that in 67 the silver/red combo was not a available color combination that year,But it could be ordered if the dealer did,what they called,"a color override" on the shipping order to get it. It wasn't really a copo color combo... A dealer in Mich,that also had a dealership in Fl found this out and ordered 10 of these cars,some in BB's and SB's and some in coupes and verts. He split the order up 1/2 went up north and the other 1/2 went down south..These are the only ones that made it from the factory in than color combination. It is a Beauiful combo.I'm having a BB coupe done now.

Default Silver 67 Coupe

Did you guys ever see that 67 L-88 re-creation, it was a coupe, silver pearl, red interior, side pipes, rally's, redlines. It was beautiful, it was for sale on e-bay a couple of years ago. It was a job well done, maybe somebody here has it in their possesion.

One of my favorite color combinations. I also like the '65 white/maroon, one-year only combo.
