Default Crayon Markings on 1969 Camaro

I'm looking at a 1969 Z28 that needs total restoration. It's a frost green X33 car with a dark green standard interior. The rear seat support has in crayon "DG3" instead of the "X3" I had expected. Is this for Dark Green x33? The seller is reliable, car has no motor, trans, front clip or interior, good shock towers, frame rails, rockers, but needs qtrs, floors and roof repair as well as just about everything else - is $7000 about right or too much? web page

Looks like the glue was applied over the crayon markings. That's a good sign.

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.
