The car you are looking at is an LA built '69 Camaro. There is no way to tell if it is a Z or not from the tags.

Could you post the VIN off the car? Also, the build date off the trim tag (01A, etc.).

How many fuel lines coming up from the tank?
How many leafs in the rear springs?
4spd car? It shouldn't have A/C.
Front Disk brakes? Power?

Let us know....

Bryon,
I believe the "tr" number you have indicates black standard interior trim, vinyl buckets, the "65" indicates the body color of the car, upper & Lower, was Olympic Gold.
Hope this helped.

Check # of fuel lines, # of leafs in the rear springs, and for a dual exhaust hanger plate on the drivers side rear frame rail. It is around 2"x4.5" and is welded to the frame.

Car must have a 12-bolt rear.
