625880 is the VIN?

Where are all your codes coming from, seems you have so codes from a cowl tag and some from the rear axle.

cowl tag should look like:
ST 69 12347  NOR 2926967 BDY
TR 711                  69 B   PNT
03E                    X77

Need more info.

Not without seeing a picture of the tag.

The tag is correctly dated for that VIN numbe, but there are so many fake tags out there I wouldn't even venture a guess without actually seeing it.  Does it have:

Power Front disc Brakes
a 4 speed transmission
a speedometer cable that goes thru the front edge of the transmission tunnel above the throttle linkage
12 bolt rear axle (I'm assuming that where the BU code is coming from)
4 leaf rear springs with square pads on the end of each leaf (as opposed to plastic sliders in holes at the end of each leaf)
large rear bumper guards
Open Element air cleaner
Holley 4 barrel carb
15" wheels, and a tire tag in the glove box, or on the drivers door that says 15" wheels and tires?
Dual exhaust

Thats for openers really

VIN is possibly on the engine pad? That's not a good thing....

If you want solid answers, post photos of the trim tag on the firewall, and pics of the block stamping. The experts here will tell you the truth, based on those photos. There are too many clone camaros being sold as the real deal, Z28, SS, any valuable combo becomes suspicious. Good hunting
