Mine was originally silver. It seems that at that time,because of the type of paint used, without a garage and a lot of care, silver turned to dull gray pretty quick.

Apparently there are no production numbers for Cortez Silver. It was popular.

Per my trim tag, my 69 was originally Cortez Silver with the Green interior. Never knew it was so rare. Maybe I can get a couple hundred thousand for it now.
