VIN help

If 87 was the last year that the camaros were built in Norwood then why is my 1987 Sortcoupe's 11th digit an L?

Re: VIN help

If the 11th digit of your VIN is L, then it was built at Van Nuys. 1982-1987 F-Bodies were built at either Van Nuys or Norwood. 1987 was the last year for the Norwood plant, so all remaining ThirdGens were then solely built at Van Nuys.
