Can someone check this for me?

I am looking at a 1989 Iroc and I have the vin code but I can't get the check digit to match. I don't know if I am doing it wrong or what. The vin is:
1G1FP218XKL104771
Thanks,

I couldn't get the check digit to match either. See if you find any flaws
it goes Vin, conversion, multiply by, total
1 G 1 F P 2 1 8 X K L 1 0 4 7 7 1
1 7 1 6 7 2 1 8 7 2 3 1 0 4 7 7 1
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 10 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
8 49 6 30 28 6 2 80 0 18 24 7 0 20 28 21 2
added total 329/11=29r10 with the check digit being 7, it doesn't match. Did I screw up or is the car one to avoid?

The check digit has to be the same as the remainder and it doesn't match. It is multiplied by 10 but that is it. letter X=7 not 10

You're right, it was late and I didn't think about it too much. The VIN is correct.
