I have a 1971 Camaro with Z28 badges all over it but I don't think it's the real deal, how do we decode the body tag to find out what I have?

Welcome to the group. po a couple of pictures of your car. My 71 Z28 RS was a California built car and the trim tag doesn’t show mine as a Z28 built car but if your car was a Norwood built car it should have Z28 on the trim tag. Of course there are different ways to fi out what you have using the link that Twisted posted

Very nice looking car. I’m not an expert but looking at the trim tag being a Norwood car I think maybe it’s a clone.

I believe you're right. Thanks for the information.
NOR = Norwood assembly plant.
As a rule, Norwood cars had Z28 stamped on the cowl tag, while Van Nuys cars did not. I believe there are known exceptions to both (not really sure), so there's always a chance your car was mis-stamped, but I doubt it meaning it's not a real Z/28
