I found the code behind the rear seat.looks like its written in chalk it reads x6 .does it mean anything i have a 69 camaro with no xcode in trimtag .i want to learn more about my car so im just snooping around.
thanks

It's meaning would be for X66 "option". That would be for a BB car without the style trim.

Whats the date on the trim tag? NOR or VN car?

thanks for all ur help.

whats a bb car with out styletrim

The date of the tag makes sense for your situation. Theres another thread right now on TC in "Tag Team" about the same thing, along with many numerous threads in the archives.

Yes, they were available that way. The style trim is an appearance package, trim around the wheel wells, 1/4 louvers, drip rail trim, etc. Dont see them very often, like you dont see the X55 non-trim SB cars often either.

dave

so what kind of camaro do i have ? ss maybe or just a base car. sorry that i dont under stand all the codes but im getting the hang of it.thanks! dave

You have a big block SS 396. Style trim consists of rocker moldings,wheel opening trim moldings, quarter panel "gill" moldings, and a bright drip rail ( I think I may be leaving a couple of items, but you get the idea.) A non- style trim car would not have all of the exterior brightwork. A style trim car would be an X22 car versus the X66. Sounds like a neat ride you have there.

Here is some X code info:

An X66 car will still have the gills and rocker moldings, at least mine came that way. It doesn't have the wheel well moldings and drip rail chrome.

thanks for everybodys help.

can you post some pictures of the car?
look at my signature to see how.

not very good with computers put ill try

All cars have the rocker mouldings standard no matter what engines or options.

Like Tom said, rocker mouldings were on all cars.

The 1/4 louvers were part of the style trim group.


dave

is there anything more. i can do to be certin it a ss396

dave i just remembered.that the guy i got the car from said the title was from arkansa.

X6 says it all.......

Sounds great! See:

http://camaros.org/diffs69.shtml

Follow the column down for SS396 for options, including 12 Bolt rear, HD radiator,fuel lines, BB motor mounts, Trans options, different heater box, Etc.

712 is the black comfort weave custom interior - very nice. 51 is code for Dusk Blue, which I feel goes well with the black interior.

...Oh yea, and that too!!!

thanks

Just got off the phone with Tony. Hey, man, dont mind helping out at all :thumbsup:

Sounds like he has a real X6 car. PDB, junction block on the subframe. Has a torch cut hole in the trans tunnel, looks to be a 4spd car originally (has TH350 in it now). 5 leafs, but 10 bolt in it. Has a BB in it, but not sure yet if it is the original. It has some signs of being hot-rodded, so its not likely. But dont know yet for sure. I sent him some pics of the Muncie speedo hole and the heater hose location.

I think he did just fine on the car. :)


dave

dave .i looked for the heaterhose i didnt find any.nor any holes for them in the firewall.i saw your pics.where the hoses run from the front of the engine to the back into the heaterbox.it looks like who ever hooked up the engine didnt use heater hoses .is that wierd?

X6 says it all.......

Unless someone grabbed some yellow chalk and marked it X6. I think you are going to see this more and more.

Jonsey,

I agree but to make it look original would be very difficult. Not going to mention why here.

It's fun to talk original markings, codes, etc. here on TC but sadly we have to worry about the scammers that are lurking around looking for tidbits of info like this.......

Doug

The 1/4 louvers were part of the style trim group.

dave

And they were part of the SS package.......

I read here and other places about "X" codes behind the seat for Z/28s. Mine as jus a "D"! Any ideas? It has an X77 Trim tag.

And they were part of the SS package.......

That is correct Kurt. I believe I misinformed Tony last night saying it was correct that his car doesnt have the gills.

My brain mustve been in "style trim" and "copo" mode last nite, and wasnt thinking as much in terms of SS :clonk:

Tony: Its not too uncommon for someone to bypass the heater core. If you can, take a good pic of the heater box and the surrounding firewall area.

Were you able to get a look at the pad on the pass side where the block and head meet to see if there is any codes/#s there?

dave

What about this guy Sal Perz at American Musclecars in ntario Cal. He claims to have an SS 396-375 delete car with no gills or SS stripes? Has anybody looked at the car on his web site? It's Fathom Green.

hey.dave i found the block code next to the left head i think it reads to319ed 18b17638.i well sand it down tomorrow to make sure alll the #s are correct. what do you think?original block.

Is there such a thing as a "heater delete" option ? Is that why Tony can't find any holes in his firewall and what Tom meant by 396-375 delete car ?

I read here and other places about "X" codes behind the seat for Z/28s. Mine as jus a "D"! Any ideas? It has an X77 Trim tag.

My car says "DG1" back there, and it's my understanding that that means it's a dark green interior, "X11" car. Which makes sense, considering I have some original parts that back it up.

The numbers you found on the engine look to decode as a 68 Chevelle 396/325. The VIN looks to be a 68 made in Baltimore, which would likely be chevelle also.
