1969Z/28

[KENNY_PASCOE]

HAD A DAYTONA YELLOW 69 Z-28 X33D80 CAR AND ON THE CROSS BRACE IN YELLOW CRAYON IT READ X3.

I saw the pictures at Atlantic City. Also saw the car at Carlisle in the spring. Great Car! So do you think that DG means dark green and 3 means X33? Thanks, sam

Yes, I think I recall something similar on another early car (can't confirm that without some checking that I can't do now).

I also remember a discussion of seeing the X3 or similar on the brace, prior to the change in the cowl tag to include x codes. I also remember someone saying that they had found DG (I was thinking it was on the cowl, but it might have been the seat back area) to signify Fathom Green.

I have photos of two different Camaros undergoing frame off restorations. One has an X-3 and the other has an X-44 written in grease pencil. Both were written very near the top passenger side of the rear seat devider.

Yes, I have found an "LG 7" in yellow crayon on my first week in October 68 built 69 Camaro rear bulkhead. I have a light green interior and I am about 95% sure it was X-77 level trim. The engine compartment had white or yellow "RGRN" on the firewall for Rally Green body paint. Hope this helps.

So, is is possible that the color shorthand on the rear bulkhead was for the interior color, and the shorthand on the firewall was for the exterior color?

[Kurt S]

Thanks Mark. Yours was the car I was thinking of.

[Salvatore]

Yes Mark that does help. My car doesn't have the X either. I would assume that your 7 and my 3 means X33 and X77. If LG means light green my DG obviously means Dark Green which my interior is. The only people that need the X in front of the number is us, because in those days they knew what they were talking about but 33 years later it is up to us to figure it out. Makes me feel better.
