I was unaware of those facts. Thanks for the info! I thought the Canadian plants started work on the F-bodies in the '80s.
At the very least, the Camaro, due to its old-fashioned layout, styling, and in-your-face horsepower, is undeniably American-born.
Sadly, I'll have to wait another five months to see mine again (as well as my family, home, cats, dog, guns...). I've never owned a vehicle which offered so much pure FUN to the driver. As a bonus, it's easy to work on AND to modify.

You are probably right about the F bodies starting to be built in Canada in the 80s. I was just refering to the fact that the Canada US auto pact trade agreement was developed back in the 60s. What gets built where and at which factory depends on a lot of different factors and production gets shuffled around over time. As far as I'm aware the F bodies ended production 2 years ago so hold on to that Camaro. Hopefully the Firebirds and Camaros will return one day.
