Camber is controlled by the trailing arm brackets and can change as the
TA bushes wear/sag. If the camber is excessive, the same on both sides
and the bushes are not obviously completely knackered it is possible
that the PO has deliberately configured the TA brackets for this degree
of camber, something that can be done by choosing the appropriately
notched brackets and mounting them in the appropriate orientation to
achieve the desired degree of camber. 

Either way it should be easily fixable once the exact cause is known.

I recently purchased a '74 TR6 with some partial restoration. Rear
wheels have excessive negative camber. What is the most common cure for
this problem?
Springs, shocks, bushings?? Any help is greatly appreciated.
