Today is the 1 year anniv. of the end of a 35 year era....the production of the f-body. So, I think we need to get to the highway tonight to show 'em off a little bit(and show those damn rattle trap harleys what real American iron is). Anyone interested??

Just noticed something really funny!!!!! i just looked through my SLP info that i had mailed to me on my car and the date of production was 8-16-00 as a Z28 and went through SLP processing 8-27-00 and became an SS # 1367. Now thats too god damn funny, i just throught about that and couldnt remember exact dates until i just verified it on this plaque thing i got .

[Crawlin]

I'm sure i'll be jumping from car to car

Wish I could have been there with ya'll. We (my car and I) were there in spirit...

Not all F-bods are canadian. 3rd gens up to a certain year made in California.

Uh Oh! Looks like I started something off topic here While I cannot at this time provide any actuall "hard" evidence to support my claim, this is the first time I have ever personally heard anything contrary to F-Body's being assembled anywhere except the Ste.Therese Plant in Quebec.

If it is true that some 3rdGEN F-bodies were produced in CA I would like to find out when and what the cutoff was or how to find out via-vin or other to find out where my 2 were produced?

Let me know, I would love to be able to argue with other people that I know that I have a true "American" F-body!!!


Oh and Joe? According to UAW 2209 the anniversary is today the 28th! http://www.local2209.org/default110.asp

p.s.s.- maybe I'll be out in the DK Teal Metallic '94 GTP 2nite ?

4th Gens were the only ones made in Canada. They went there because GM saved $1,000 per car as far as health insurance for the workers go. Some of the people that worked at that plant in Cali transferred to our plant. The Plant in Cali is longbeen torn down and is now a shopping area.

Here is a bit of trivia for you. Check your VIN number. The first digit indicates the country in which the vehicle was built.

1=US
2=Canada
3=Mexico
4=Brazil (I think)
J=Japan
W=Germany

There are obviously more but that is all I can remember off the top of my head.

Hope this helps straighten out any confusion.

Also, many if not all 1st and 2nd gen cars were built in Norwood, OH and Los Angeles, CA.

Well WS6, I'm not quite sure how to say this but It's never a good idea to show up as a and sound like you know what your talking about and then get proved wrong like this! Anyway, you are correct. I have now found all kinds of info on plants in Ohio and California. Obviously the other people I know don't know much either Thanks for correcting me on this Now I can be a little smarter about this, I owe ya a beer sometime

Okay 69LT1, Now I am getting confused. I thought F-bodies were only produced in the US and Canada?

You know this is pretty sad. I used to work at a GM dealership! All though I rareley needed to know trivia like this.
