no specific X-code for the SS350. X11 could mean SS350 with Style Trim or a

GM started to use the X-code in the second week of December.
Style

(except when Sport Striping or Z28 is specified), and simulated rear fender
louvers, front and rear wheel opening moldings, black body sill,** rear panel
emblems, bright headlight and taillight accents. Sport coupe included bright
roof drip moldings.
** Except

Note: Chevy Camaro SS included rear
fender louvers and black body sill.** Black rear panel was included with 396
engine. Z11 and Z10 included orange hood, deck, and fender striping and
deleted the black body sill and rear panel with 396 engine.
