Crayon behind rear seat X? Opinions please

[Conquest396]

So here is my crayon X2/3 ? almost nearly covered by the heathen who tried to mask the rust in that area with thick undercoating. Car has been living its life as a big block car, of which everything else checks out. 4 leaf spring, 12 bolt(more on this in the next episode). Hidden vins match. It has A/c , no muncie hole and looks like originally an auto(more in another episode), so it cant be a Z thus not a 3. Power windows, rear defrost, console, spoiler car(one smaller trunk lid torsion bar)

Could the guy on the line have made a mistake when getting used to the X codes? Looks like at the bottom, he tried to under score/straight line it and make the bottom of the 2 ?

The second picture is another I saw somewhere, which is a 2 that looks like it nearly became a 3. Maybe this can be filed under the liquid lunch possibility? Poor penmanship?

I guess I need someone who has seen a lot of these.... any opinions are appreciated, thanks

4 leaf springs was a Z/28 only deal, but none of them had A/C, so that rules X3 out.

I believe ss cars could have 4 leaf springs with no regularity, based on options. If I only had a broadcast sheet.....lol For the record the car has the proportioning valve as well.

Um... yeah, read few posts from Kurt and others, but you can refer to the ask crg page , answer to question # 121 part 2.

There are numerous 4 leafed original SS's.
I take it the rear tail pan was originally black?
IF it wasn't I could see the number being read as a 3, the 2 indicated BB with style trim, so black tail pan and black rockers, although 51 wasn't supposed to have the rockers blacked out, many Dusk blue cars did.

I would have to look this weekend to make sure but I am pretty sure my L78 SS Auto has 4 leaf springs.
