Yes, possible.
What's the Vin and/or build date?

I think the three piece spoiler was later production, possibly an option. When I bought my 70 1/2 (first one in town), the spoiler was one piece. TAZ

Unless you have a build sheet saying 9676 or the car can be certified as an undisturbed original paint car, the high spoiler could have been added at any time over the car's life. The spoiler existed because of the car below - it had to be homologated for the 1970 Chaparrel Z28 Trans-Am cars, which meant offering it as a factory-installed option.

The high spoiler carried on as an option in 1971 and 1972, you had to order it as D80. Further, in 1972 if you didn't specifically order your Z with D80 you got no spoilers at all. Ever see a bare-back '72 Z28? It's weird. Looks like a shaved cat. They used one in the ad below...

Post up a picture of your Axle snubbers the ones that bolt into the inner wheelhouse base.

That is a 1971 Z (notice the high back bucket seats) and if I'm not mistaken, the three pc spoiler was standard in '71...

If it's a Van Nuys built Camaro, there is a very good chance it is on top of the gas tank. If Norwood built, highly unlikely you will find one.

I think you mis-read my post or didn't read it completely...I posted the ad for the <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #FF6666">1972</span></span> Z28 to illustrate my post about NO SPOILERS ON A '72, unless you ordered D80. And, no, the high back 3-piece spoiler was most certainly not standard in '71. You had to order D80 to get it.
