Default When did Chevrolet START USING "X" Code

Does anyone know anything about this Z/28 ?

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tchlink:top:en

The cowl tag has NO &quot;X&quot; code.... and the car was built in MAY [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

When did they start using the &quot;X&quot; code on the trim tag?

The car has the X33D80 but it appears to be a repro trim tag.

I agree. For what it is worth my 05-A Z-11 has a 010 cast on 4-26 1969. 010 was also in the 300 hp cars by then too.
