Re: trying to decode my 69 rs z28
Cars that didn't have trim tag X codes like early Norwood cars and VN cars usually always have this marking. The theory is that someone marked it there to let the line workers know what the car is when it goes down the line. I have seen a combination of X and then the single number 1-7 (X11,X22,X33 and etc) to identify the car. I have also seen where the X is omitted and the color was abbreviated. For instance Sam's Z has DG3. His car is a style trim Z that is Fathom Green (DG = Dark Green). I also have a picture of markings in the same spot on a base car that is Garnet Red. Care to guess what the marking is? Yep. R1.
Kris' car is Fathom Green that is why I suspected that there could be a DG in there somewhere. But in his case the worker put X3. Markings have shown up on the firewall. We just had a thread where after mediablasting all the codes were revealed. Here! These hints on the X codes are obviously unique to 69 Camaros. I am not sure what might be there for 68s. |

Very cool. Is there anything to help us with the impossible to document 68s? A lot of people have suggested the best way to document a 68 is to never purchase one without tons of paperwork. I guess that is why the majority of the market never really moves on the 68s like the 67s or 69s.

Re: trying to decode my 69 rs z28
Im going to build it back to original stock condition,i never really liked green,but the picture of that green z,in the earlier post looks great,and i would like to buld it all stock.when i bought it,over a year ago it was sitting in mississippi,my buddies and my wife thought i really lost it,being from alaska they asked how you gonna get it home,no motor,i told them i would tow it,well i few days later,my buddie that thought i was nuts for buying the mississippi z,told me he had just bought a 2002 ford passenger van on ebay for his lodge,and it was sitting in dallas texas,he then says i have a propisistion, fly to dallas pickup my new van, pay for my fuel and go get the car deliver the van to seattle,i tlod him we had a deal,so instead of me just going alone,my original plan was to fly to mississippi buy a early 90s chevy truck,a new car trailer,and tow it back to seattle,then ship it to alaska.I brought the whole family,a vcr 12 volt tv for the kids,it turned out to be one of the funnest trips we have ever done,and got to see a bunch of the country,and met a bunch of great people,we would do it again in a heart beat,so with that said ,i must get ready for work,merry xmas to every buddie,and thank you for the help.....kris

Kris- It looks like someone robbed all the RS internals? Were they there when you bought the car?

Re: trying to decode my 69 rs z28
i think most of the parts are there,the tank is in the trunk,and the doors are open,i looked for the numbers on the booster,no such luck,are the numbers facing the back or the front of the car?

Re: trying to decode my 69 rs z28
You have to look at the booster from behind. Usually easy when the hood is open you can look thru the crack between the hood and cowl panel. It should be stamped on a pad at the top of the booster.
