Welcome from the west coast.
Hartz is the only auto topping fabric manufacturer left as far as I know. In the mid 2000's they started reducing the number of colors offered due to lack of demand. I only know this because of having installed tops for 28 years. Good luck finding what you're looking for.

I seem to remember that it was probably a Levant grain
Welcome to FBBO from Ontario. A friend of mine had a car like yours, but with A/C. It was a dark blue Silver Special. He eventually painted it silver. Another friend had a dark green Silver Special, and bought repro Silver Special seat upholstery set from Legendary Interiors. He also bought a repro Silver Special vinyl top from them. It was silver and charcoal like the seat material. This was maybe 15 - 20 years ago. You could also try S & S Fabrics in Oregon.
Yes, all I was getting from the decoders was "unknown". Y6 is black and Y7 is white. It was someone else on this forum who indicated Y5 is silver. I found video of a barn find Silver Special and took a screenshot of a close-up on the top, which the owner claimed to be the original "silver" top. These things all look like a very dark grey or lighter black to me, but maybe it's clearer in person....and I am fairly sure the "5" under the "y" on the 67 tag tells what color the vinyl is.
Found this on moparts-

No idea of credibility.
Note the vinyl top section says nothing about color. Only "texture".
All I can find is black and white-

Do we know the silver special was a mid-year package?
There should be some documentation in the form of addendums and inserts.

I don't know that it's the exact same material, but this "silver cast" reproduction material is used on the Silver Special seats, and has a silverish sheen to it. Legendary seems to have an in-stock NOS top also described as "silver cast" so maybe it's the same.
