any thoughts on the crayon markings..the car is an L-78 M-22 Indy. (few option), besides mandatory Indy options, L-78, M-22, AM radio, power steering. No console, manual top.

thanks max

So on the 69 pacers there is no x22 or x66 on cowl tag. Do you have an x2 or x6 on the rear seat divder?

Actually the Indy Pace Cras had the Z-ll package...which was denoted as Z-11 on the cowl tag. This package included mandatory Rally sport/ Super Sport/ Conv. with the special orange and white paint and orange houndstooth interior.

But something I did not think of...would the car have maybe a Z-1 on the seat divider??? Did the Indys have anything typically there?? I will check later today..I am curious now.

This documented survivor L78 Pace Car has an XO on the seat divider.

"XO" as in kisses & hugs?

stopped by and took a look at my car...seems to be nothing on the seat divider...but I spent about 1 hour with lacquer thinner on the cowl and firewall...wowww...there is a whole lot more old crayon marks there than I thought. Interesting stuff. Some makes sense..some doesnt..?? Im sure you guys can help.

i will post some pics later when I have more time...

So i started with lacquer thinner on the center of the cowl above the tunnel where the obvious marks were...these letters appeared at first.. I think I know what they are now, but I'd like others opinions first.....

then I started to wipe above the heater box area with lacque thinner and remains of these letters started to appear...I was very intrigued...my car was telling a story...verifying itself....

a little more lacquer thinner and this on the left side above the heater box opening...you can barely see the first number...

date code??
