Title: Marking on rear seat support
Post by: 75tx250 on February 12, 2023, 10:15:55 PM
Took my rear seat out of my 69 and on the support that separates the back of the seat and trunk area is a marking in chalk that says X3. My car is a pre x code per the cowl tag. So maybe that means its a x33 car? Just guessing. Anyone else seen this?

What other parts or indications does your car exhibit which might support it's being an X33 car, or otherwise?

I would guess X33 with black interior?

The color is the adhesive glue sprayed to hold the package tray cover over the edge.  Congrats on the Z.  Post up some more photos of the car.  We all enjoy seeing new rides..

X33 does not mean it came with Z22. Right from this site: http://www.camaros.org/numbers.shtml#XnnCodes

My X33 non rally sport has x3 on the bulkhead

Kurt I am reading into it that it says RS style code cars can only be x33 with z28 RPO
What am I not understanding? Not wanting to upset anyone.  Just trying to understand all these meanings.   Thanks

X33 was the style trim Z.  X77 was no style trim.  Because of that and the fact that style trim was mandatory on the RS option you can get an open headlight X77 base style trim Z or a X33 open headlight with style trim or you could add the Z22 (RS) with the Z option and you have would have also been coded X33.

So how should I describe my Z28 with the Z22 RPO that has the X3 wax marking on the bulkhead?
Am I not to say its a x33 code car?

It seems there are other X33 cars with X3 noted on the rear bulkhead. Seems logical to believe they may all be X33 cars. If yours meets the X33 criteria, and if I were you, I'd consider it an X33 car.

All RS cars were X33; Not all X33 cars were RS.

I see the glue splatter up high on the bulkhead, I was thinking I was seeing a Lighter color on top of the ruddy primer, it might be reflection from the camera.

Body color is often dusted on the sheetmetal eps LOS build cars
