Hey, this may be a stupid, stupid question.

Was wondering about a code i saw on a trim tag while i was workin' at the bodyshop last night.

Can someone tell me what X33 means? I can't give you motor specs- the front subframe is removed and the car is stripped down. But I clearly remember X33. So, let me know, if it's not too much trouble, and not too stupid of a question.

Thanks in advance.

X33 is a Norwood, OH assembly plant code indicating the car was equipped with the Z/28 performance option and exterior body style trim option. Use the search feature here or check www.camaros.org (http://www.camaros.org) for more code info.

Just because you don't know doesn't mean your stupid, just ignorant of what it means. A lot of knowledge is at this site and we all started somewhere.

Welcome to the site.

So, theoretically, the car is supposed to have a 302?

I thought z-28's were 4-speed cars, this one has an automatic shifter on the floor (horseshoe style)

Just curious.

X33 code signifies that car was originally assembled with the Z/28 302 motor and a 4-speed Muncie trans. Over the years many 4-speed cars have been switched to automatics and vice versa.

if it were to have all the org equipment yes it would have a 4 speed. Nothing says it might have been switched out somewhere years ago. but to check that it is in fact a Z28 if you can get the Cowl tag and VIN numbers the folks here on the Tag Team section can see if they match up.

If you live by the body tag you will die by it.

They are very easy to move from car to car. For over a decade you have been able to order a reasonably good repro. Just this year after 2 Super Chevy shows and a couple of local ones I've seen 3 Camaros with swapped tags and 4 with repro tags. 2 Camaros recently on ebay had swapped tags.

Post the VIN along with the remainder of the tag data.

Sorry, i am STUPID.

it was X66. What's that one mean?

TIA guys

X-66 is a factory big block without style trim, which explains the automatic shifter. I'd take a big block over a Z any day of the week...... http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif
