The seller purchased the car in August 2023, but it was a project that required more involvement than he would have liked. He was hoping to simply drop an engine and transmission into the car and enjoy it. He put the Camaro on the back burner and then got another car that he could drive and enjoy instead. He just didn’t have the time to take care of it.

What does X11 code on a 1969 Camaro mean?

• According to various Camaro forums, a Camaro with an X11 code signifies a Style Trim Group.
• X11 simply denotes a cosmetic option, which includes roof drip moldings, fender moldings, rear fender louvers, black body sill, rear panel emblem, and bright headlight and taillight trim.
• It did not signify what engine was fitted to the car from the factory.

According to Old Car Brochures, the 1969 Camaro came in fifteen different color choices. They were Dover White, Glacier Blue, Le Mans Blue, Olympic Gold, Azure Turquoise, Frost Green, Cortez Silver, Garnet Red, Fathom Green, Hugger Orange, Daytona Yellow, Rallye Green, Dusk Blue, Burnished Brown and Burgundy. The vinyl roof cover was available in black, parchment, midnight green, dark blue, or dark brown colors.

The Trunk Is Full Of Camaro Body Panels And Parts

Opening the trunk, Parker finds multiple body panels, especially from the front end. The front nose panel of the car seems to be a reproduction as the back of the trim is black, rather than the original silver. Parker is also fascinated with the patina on the car. He finds the valance which looks slightly bent, meaning the car has seen some sort of damage. He even finds the original valance in the trunk, which also has signs of the factory Cortez Silver paint.

Parker seemed satisfied that the post revealed that it was still a solid ’69 Camaro, with rust in all the expected places. He points out sections in the trunk where Camaros are known to rust. Then he finds out that the rear left quarter panel was replaced, as the pop rivets and screw points became visible.

He examines the roof closely and is happy that it is in better condition than he expected. He finds a few holes in the roof, and it probably needs a full new roof skin. However, the nipples for the vinyl top were not removed, which Parker was happy about. He claims they are a pain to put them back on.

Parker Confirms The Camaro Is A 6-Cyl, X11 Model

Parker inspects the VIN under the windshield that reads “1233” signifying and confirming it is a 6-cylinder model. He discovers that the last place the car was titled was Pennsylvania. When he opened the hood, Parker found the firewall was quite solid and largely rust-free.

The driver-side fender of the Camaro is solid too, but the passenger side needs some work or probably even be replaced entirely. The core supports near the body bushings on a Camaro are common spots for rust, and it is the same with this example and Parker reveals them to be rusted out as well. However, the front subframe looks decent.

Parker reaches into the engine bay to take a closer look at the cowl tag of the Camaro. He finds that it reads ‘711’ for the black interior, ’04c’ signifying that it was manufactured in the third week of April. The ’69’ confirms it to be a Cortez Silver example, and the ‘BPNT’ suggests it was fitted with a black vinyl top. Finally, ‘X11’ for the Style Trim Group.

Being an X11, the chrome trims on the car were missing, and the gills were not on the quarter panels. That confirmed that the quarter panels were replaced. To confirm that the body matched the cowl tag though, Parker took a closer inspection of the engine bay. The last three numbers of the VIN under the windshield read ‘331’, and thankfully, the hidden VIN on the firewall and behind the front wheel arch read the same ‘331’.
