For this car to have been made in Fremont, CA?

The vin on my 65' El Camino Custom is:
136805Z122309

According to the info I looked at, in 1965 "Z"(Fremont) was not listed in the group of available production plants.

Fremont was one of GM newer plants and it opened in 1962 and indeed was building GM A-body cars in 1965. Production continued through 1980 when the plant was closed. Partially demolished (south end and water tower), the remaining plant was refurbished as the NUMMI joint-venture with Toyota. They last made Pontiac Vibes..

I think of I have pic of the Fremont plant in 1965....
