The letters DG before the X3 represent the exterior color which would be fathom green. Obviously a mistake was made. The trim tag looks good and with paint code 59 frost green. You are correct X3 represents X33, Z28 with style trim.

I had never heard of any color reference on the crayon markings - only X3, X7, etc for X33 X77 etc. - Anyone else heard of interior or exterior colors noted on the rear seat support?

Any thoughts on what the car is worth?

It has been noticed on other cars, DG would be the interiors color i.e. Dark Green and the digit 3 is for X33.

The DG3 designates the dark green interior with X33, we have in our shop a 20k mile X33 Z with dark green interior with the same crayon markings. An X11 Copo with dark green interior I have recently seen was DG1 in crayon.

Mark you are correct my bad... I mixed up firewall marks, and actually have that noted in various post before... It must be an age thing....

My early 69 Z/28 has the same markings. I bet the same person or shift built both our cars. Mine is Fathom Green with a DG interior. Darren also showed me a picture of a car that said R1 and the car had a red interior with X11 trim. Both my car and the red interior car were built around the November of 1968 date with no X codes on the tag.
