Since the SS was a performance package, the engine is one of the most important parts of an SS Camaro. The original SS engine is required to identify the car as possibly being a true SS. Here is a great source for more information on how to tell if your Camaro is a SS - [url]http://www.chevy-camaro.com/faq/chevy-camaro-faq-SS.shtm[/url]

Yes same as what the last person said, you cannot tell by the trim tag or VIN if it is a true SS. Also, did you say that this car is the original color? Because your trim tag would state that the original color is Lemans Blue.
