    All you can tell from the VIN is

    4=Buick
    3327 = Special Deluxe 2 Dr coupe (All California GS's were build on this body style)
    9 = 1969
    Z = Fremont California Assembly Plant
    104733 = Seq. Build number

    Only if you have the original sales order with the VIN on it or if you can find the original build sheet for the car. You can check to see if it has all of the California required options but that will not tell you 100% for sure.
