Default not sure if it is an SS

There were a lot of x-11 code cars built that were not an SS. Mine is a x-11 code car built in Norwood and it is not an SS...high option coupe with style trim.

Keep looking

A true SS 350 would be an X55 car.

There is no specific X-code for the SS350. X11 could mean SS350 with Style Trim or a base Camaro with Style Trim. A '69 SS required at least power front disc brakes. Also be sure to check out our FAQ section about SS's. The X11 code is the only exception to identifying a true '69 SS Camaro because the code also means a plain Camaro

X11" on trim tag on 1969's only 350 SS only but a big NO for a big block SS YES! not all "X11's" were SS's. Check the engine. If not original then assume the "X11" was for a base Camaro. Not easily added but check VIN to make sure it was a V8 because trim tags are getting swapped out. Also have seen people selling reproduced trim tags so watch out.

Default Ss

Also required 12 bolt rear.

To be an SS with an x-11 code it must have been built in Norwood, shown on tag, and has to have the numbers matching 350 to be sure.

My x-11, norwood built car was a v-8...327 v-8 with a powerglide.

If looking to buy one as an investment make sure it has the correct paper work...Protect-o-plate is the best.

All X55s are SS350s, but not all SS350s are X55s. Many X11s are SS350s, as stated above, with style trim. Also, only X11s can be RS / SS 350s as RS requires style trim.

I learn something new everyday. That would definitely make it harder to authenticate.
