{$node.object.contentclass_id} should do the trick

Just a quick note, to find information about the attributes of an object (like the class id), try adding <i>{$node|attribute(show)}</i> to a template which will provide you a table of the information that applies to that object. From there you can easily figure out what to use in your template to display the attribute in question. From the documentation (http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/development/libraries/ez_template/operators/miscellaneous):

<b>attribute</b>
Helper attribute to print available methods in objects and arrays, by default it only shows the array keys and object attribute names but by passing show as parameter it will fetch the values.

The second parameter can be used to controlled the number of children to expand, default is no limit which may give problems with values that loop. The returned result is an HTML table unless false() is passed as the third parameter. E.g.

{$node|attribute(show)}, {$node|attribute(show,2,false)}
