For those who have wondered what the significance of the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) are, this may help:
Example is from a 2002 Corvette Z06 model.
"1 G 1 Y Y 1 2 S 3 2 5 1 0 1 2 3 4 "
As you can see there are 17 Alphanumeric characters above.
The first character #1, signifies Country of Origin, USA.
The 2nd is the Manufacturer, GM.
The 3rd is the Make, 1 means Chevrolet.
The 4th & 5th is theCarline/Series, YY= Corvette.
The 6th is Body Style, 1= Hardtop.
The 7th is Restraint System, 2= Active Manual, with driver & passenger inflatable restraints.
The 8th is Engine type, S= LS6 engine.
The 9th is a check digit (whatever that means?).
The 10th is Model year, 2= 2002
The 11th is the Assembly plant, 5= Bowling Green.
The Last 6 digits indicate the production number for the year (disregard the 12th digit).
Hence, in our example above, this Vet is number 1,234 built in the 2002 model year.
