'84 Camaro, base model or Z-28?

I just bought an 84 Camaro yesterday under the impression it was a base model with an LQ8 V8... turns out my VIN says I have an L69 engine... does that mean it's a Z-28, or was the L69 an option in the 84 Sport Coupe? My car has plain "Camaro" badges. Thanks.

So, unless my VIN is lieing to me, I'm actually the proud new owner of an '84 Z-28?

I guess the paint job could have been re-done at one point, and new badges put on.

That would be cool.

Its easy to see that you are kinda new to Third Gens because you would know what it is by looking at it, so go here https://www.thirdgen.org/rides/index.tgo?action=search and search for 84 Z28's and see if thats what your car looks like.
