Norwood cars after 12A sometime during 12B 1968 should have X codes. My 12A X22 does not have the code on the trim tag but it does say X2 behind the rear seat in crayon.

I have read that there were 4889 69 L78,s built. Are there any production numbers as far as automatics or other. It would be a CX 400 turbo which I understand only came with solid lifter big blocks so if the COPO,s were subtracted that would be close.

I took one of my cars to a paint supply house and they set a special digital camera on the fender and then connected it to a computer and it analized the make up. He even had a Dupont and another brand camera and the makeups were slightly different. We mixed a pint of each and did some test cards. The other brand matched perfect. Once I got the code we sprayed base coat clear coat. I even later used that code for some touch up acrylic enamel. Of course to do this you need the car and not a picture to do it.
