If the L in the vin means LA and the N means Norwood what do Canadian cars say?

There were no 1st Generation Camaros assembled in Canada. All Canadian cars came from the Norwood plant.

If all camaros where built in norwood how are canadian cars able to get build sheets. Yet cars in usa not able to get them. I would love to get mine. Also year's ago i was told by a usa camaro club officer that there were found yet when they went to get permission to release them from chevrolet there vanished. If gm is hurting why won't the release them & make some quick money. It also would stop the clone cars. I hate to see people taking by a bogus car.

Cars sold new in Canada don't have "build sheets" available; the Canadian information lists the body style, color, trim, options, shipping date, and the selling dealer. GM of Canada kept that information for taxation and import duty records. The USA records for individual cars didn't "vanish" or get "hidden away" - they were never kept, as there was no business reason to do so.
