Re: van nuys factory photos.

If you want to see some pictures inside the Van Nuys assembly plant, look at the picture section of Leonard's website of his 1992 Camaro (last ThirdGen built) being built:
http://www.last1992camaro.com/

You likely won't find a picture the day of your car being built. Even less likely finding a picture of your own car being built and even if it was your car, there may not be any or enough information to make that determination.

Is there a similar site / documentation for the last 3rd Gen. Firebird? There seems to be one on the towveyor right ahead of this last 3rd gen. Camaro.

No. We know the VIN of the last Firebird, a V6 model, and members ran a VIN check on it. No records past the accident:
