The Camaro quarter panels and doors are different from a Firebird. Unless someone took the time to replace all that steel, I'm assuming its a Camaro VIN on a Firebird body. Not that its an issue seeing how its a parts car.

Also, I believe the rivets for the VIN came from the top down, not from the bottom up. It looks like yours have the rosette part facing down, which I think is incorrect? I need to look at mine now.
