Default How to tell if its a true Z28?

Hey guys a new to to camaro stuff, or at least to the 70s models. Ok so I bought a 1974 camaro. It can be viewed in my picture albums. The laddy that I bought it from said it was a one owner, and there for she bought it new. Its green with green interior, and a green vinyl top. It does have the big z28 sticker on the hood and trunk. It has a 350 with turbo 400 transmission, and does a posi rear end. What is a for sure way to tell if its a true z28. And is there anyway to find out all the options the car came with? Thanks for the help.

Need more pics please If you don't mind saying what did you pay for it? Up until recently you didn't have to worry about a 74 being clone to much cause they where not worth that much. Anyone cloning one never did a very detailed job. From the one pic everything looks right.

That's changing pretty fast and with the gen5 out it's now that much more of a Classic.
Sure looks correct right down to the factory "mag" wheels.
Nice find,most of those have been ratted all to hell a long time ago by now.
