Not sure exactly what you're trying to find out, but the X44 was about as plain-Jane of a car as you could get- no wheel well or drip rail moldings, no bright headlight trims, etc. the trim tag won't tell you what engine came in the car, but a 327/3speed is quite probable.

The tag indicates 65-50 for the exterior paint, which was an Olymic Gold/Dover White paint combo, and the 721 indicates a green interior with standard buckets. Interesting color combo to say the least.....

Yea def 327 it is ugly as hell it needs totally restored it came with orig gm quarters and fenders that's a start. Well worth the 1000$ I paid

[63novass]

So it's definetly not a z or a rs or ss then?

[BobKovacs]

Definitely not. The X44 is a non-SS, non-RS, non-Z28 code

Could be a Copo as well

Definately not, but as noted an interesting color combination I am starting to like! Very outside chance it was a big block COPO.

If it's restoreable, then it looks like you got a good deal for $1k. Hopefully, you can do a lot of the restoration work.

Just to be on the side of caution, look for any of the BB clues on the car. Its a million to one shot but if no BB clues are apparant it cannot be a COPO

Decode for body number: 204771

12B = Built the Second week of December.
69-12437 = Coupe.
NOR = Built in Norwood Ohio.
721 = Standard Medium Green Bucket Seats.
65-50 = Lower Color is Olympic Gold and the Top Color is Dover White.
X44 = non-SS, non-Z28, without style trim

What's the VIN?

If I had that car, I would restore to the original specs, it would be the hit of every show! Very different then your run of the mill colors!

[63novass]

i will post vin later for sure. The motor is a 327 but what are some of the big block clues? The orig color is still on the car just in bad shape. Would it really be a good idea to take it back to origonal i could see if it was a z or ss car what are your thoughts?

That's up to you. While gold/white/green is a somewhat "unique" color combo, it'll appeal to a very limited crowd. You've got to drive it- is that what you want to be driving around in? Personally, I wouldn't do it, but it's not my car.

[63novass]

No not at all the gold ok but with white top ugly I'm prob going to put a ls motor in anyway I need a daily driver. I have a nova that is 900 horse that isn't to street friendly.
