ok im not 100 % here but i thought X22 was a bright molding group?
does this car have any extra chrome maybe wheelwell or driprail ?
might be early for that?
most x codes ive seen are export codes or delete codes
(X23 is spare tire delete)

Fred, you are right, most of the weird X codes are export stuff. Thats why i think it might be a wierd tire thing or something. X09 was spedo adapter, and there is a X code for winter tires too But just cant find X22 anywhere
I emailed George Zapora, so we will see if he responds.

george responded. fairly vague, but he said it represents a tire size. Not sure what tire size, but it makes sence as there is no "P" code on my build sheet.
i always thought "P" codes were for tires but i guess if it was a special size or special tire, it would go in the "X" category.

Been reading thru this thread. Great that the mystery is solved. But it leads me to ask " what is so special about 7.35 x 14 black wall rayon tires that they are given a mysterious code? "
not sure when the traction control option came out but it was mounted on the rear inner fenders and poured a solution on the wheels. Just a guess.
Nope, That was V75 - Liquid Tire Chain (had it on my 1969 Camaro)
I know that Fred had it right for X22 in 1963 was 7.35-14 rayon tire code but I wanted to elaborate on the 1969 Camaro X22 code. The Xnn codes were used on 1969 Norwood-built Camaros, starting 12B (2nd week of December, 1968). They were an aid for Fisher body assembly workers to identify trim and paint changes for different Camaro models, divided into 2 groups, those with Z21 Style Trim group option, and those without the Z21 option. Since Z21 was included with Z22 Rally Sport option, all Z22 are included in the Z21 X-code group.
with Z21 or Z22 X11 = non-BB, non-Z28, includes SS-350 X22 = BBC X33 = Z28
Without Z21 or Z22 X44 = non-BB, non-Z28, non-SS350 X55 = SS350 X66 = BBC X77 = Z28

Could be the X-Code denotes a special tire like a multiple ply that wasn't normally available so had to brought in specifically for this and/or other like prepared vehicles?. The GM Vintage info for my '67 RCMP Biscayne notes Q03 - 8.15x15 4-Ply Nylon Blackwalls.. Anyone have listings showing this code?.
