Bulkhead Numbers and Letters ?

Oct of 69 build car.

I'm sorry I neglected to the X derivatives -  X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 X7. 
X = black interior trim, which was used with blk std, blk dlx, blk htooth, white htooth, orange Htooth, white std, yellow Htooth, and any other color which had black interior trim.

RS/Z28 04C 711 blk std   X3 clearly visible.



I have never seen a car with a color other than black trim have an X on the bulkhead.
If someone has a car with blue red or green interior which shows the X on the bulkhead vs a color abbreviation (R B ltG or G) please provide photos.
Lacking such evidence this issue doesn't have much controversy left.

Here are the pic's again, as they probably got erased during the website reset. I would have thought by now SOMEONE has to know what this means. Gotta be ton's of research examples, right? .. Danny

01C X77 LeMans - "X7" on bulkhead. I hope my 12A L78 shows either a 2 or at worst a 6 - never been able to tell otherwise.

I like the idea that they were "X" for black interior paint trim and other colors were the exception that needed to be noted for the interior painter.  Makes too much sense to be otherwise.

Sometimes they are difficult to see... There is an X 7 in this photo...

Mine has a pretty clean area before the letter or number. So looks like no X for me. I am usually pretty good at finding them, but I just don't see anything else on mine. Found yours in about 10 seconds  ... D

[firstgenaddict]

yours is a black interior car isn't it?
And the exterior color is? White I am assuming?
Do you think it is under the white paint?
I'm reasonably sure it was written after prime before paint. which I believe is when the TT went on ... they are not primed. as a matter of fact there was something taped to the firewall between the TT rivet holes. when this car was primed.

Just to be clear that 69's (to my knowledge) are the only ones that have known codes on the bulkhead..  67 & 8's had the occasional marking but I do not know the relevance or meanings behind them..

Here's a couple late 69 X66 pics for you... 08D

[dannystarr]

Yes I believe you are correct about X codes. But I wasn't thinking there would be one there. I was just hoping someone knew what mine was. This got all off track with X code posting's..    Hopefully someone will chime in with some info on MINE... D

Looks I didn't read your post close enough. With all the talk about X codes I thought I was helping the OP out... Guess not.

no sweat, just trying to figure it all out

Danny,
I was waiting for someone else to comment.   Your marks are a bit out of position as compared to the rest I have seen.  They usually look like they were written by a worker standing next to the car body on the passenger side with one arm through the rear quarter window.  Your marking looks to be 100% factory but fairly close to the middle of the car. it is a little out of place.  If your interior color was dark green, the "g" would make more sense.  If you have an "X66" trim and a black interior, the "6" makes more sense.  It may be neither one but that is how I see it.  Hard to say much more than that from what is there.   Hope this helps.

-Mark.

Ok, I appreciate that.. I have standard black interior.. I am bummed that nobody knows for sure what this is and what it means. D
