Special Edition Vehicles - How do you know your cars number?

I see some sigs on here state that you car is number 22 outta 2258 how do you find that out? on another post someone posted a cpl site to check rpo codes, if I read correctly mine is 1 of 33 built optioned the way mine is

if I read transamworld right I'm down to 1 of 13

read it wrong looks like 1 of 111

Depends on what kind of car you have. If you have a Firehawk, SS or a 96-97 WS6 then call SLP for your build number and date

If it is a 98-02 WS6 then see the link in my sig

Need to call SLP with your VIN.

What about z28s? Not to hijack the OP's thread, but where do you find z28 build numbers?

GM didn't give the Z28's a build number, only the WS6, SS and Firehawk cars got them

For example, there are only 1402 hugger orange z28s in the world (original). How do I know if my number is 1 or 559 or 1402? Are you saying that there are just the total amount and no 1,2,3,4,5,6...etc.?

There is a breakdown of say M6 Hugger Z28s, A4 Huggers, T-Top, ect.

But you won't find what number your car is out of that total

Looking at this (http://transamworld.com/2001-breakdown.htm), it shows that of the 137 total NHRA's built in 2001, only 24 were Formula "Coupes" - how do I take the next step from there? Purely guestimates?

Total Formula's - 1001
NHRA - 137 (14%)
NHRA Coupe - 24 (2.4%)
Hardtop - 179 (18%)
Red - 156 (16%)
M6 - 301 (33%)

Just trying to figure out how many Hard Top NHRA Formula's were made, how many of those were red, and how many of those were M6 - I'm guessing less than 10, less than 8, less than 4

anyone have a number for slp?

Go to this link (http://www.compnine.com/rpocheck.php#)and enter your pertenent RPO codes to find out for sure (although its been down for awhile, hope it comes back up soon).

I found this one on the same site - link (http://www.compnine.com/vid.php) - claims to be a VIN decoder

There are 1 2001 FIREBIRD COUPE vehicles (0.006%) matching your exact options list. There are 1 (0.006%) with at least as many options.

I'm still not sold on CompNine's VIN decoder

Any suggestions on better way to go about it?

Compnine started charging a subscription for that service. It's rather pricey. :- \

The problem with the CompNine VIN decoder is that it has EVERY RPO code "pre-checked" by default. Since one of those codes indicate the production week, nearly every car is a "1 of 1" or "1 of a handful". At a minimum, for this to be useful, un-check all the RPO codes for your car, then check ONLY the important ones (WS6, trans, exterior color, interior color, W66 (Formula) or W82/W84 (TA), etc.) THEN you'll get a reasonable "1 of xx" number for your car.

EDIT: ZOIKS! I just checked that link, they've changed their VIN decoder GUI, it no longer allow you to check/uncheck your individual RPOs to re-calculate the number of matches like they had before. :(

Its not perfect, but it is useful if you are aware if its limitations (as noted above). Its about the ONLY web-accessable database I've found that seems to be tied into the GM-VIS system, which is the "gospel" of production info. I'm not sure if GM-VIS allows you to determine how many cars w/ RPO xyz was built in any particular year like CompNine's relatively crude GUI interface. My primary complaint about CompNine's RPO database is that it seems to be lacking data for some of the years (as I've noted in the breakdowns I've created). That could be an issue w/ the master GM-VIS database, or something that got messed up when it was imported to CompNine. :confused:

WOW! Glad I scoured their data when I had the chance. I didn't think free access would be available forever. I wonder if they ever obtained the missing data I mentioned above.

Yeah, it sucks now that it's gone. I'm not going to pay a subscription for something I just did for fun and to waste time. If it was earning me money to provide the info on my website, that'd be a different story, but it's not.

I'm not entirely sure GM's records released to the Camaro White Book and other sources were correct anyway. I started developing the opinion that Compnine's records were more reliable since they are associated with VIN #s. Many production break downs have been based on percentages in the past, and 13% of a year's production can be off by 1 to who-knows-how-many cars. There's a big percentage of error associated with production numbers based on percentages, and Compnine's records are based on exact numbers, NOT percentages.

WOO HOO I'm # 689 now what does that mean?:D

If you are talking about the 1996 WS6 in your sig then you have the 689th WS6 built in 1996.

I don't know how many were built that year, maybe JohnnyB knows

according to ta world 2051

Lucky...

'97 WS6s do not have build numbers... SLP never kept track of what VIN was converted in what order; just a total Qty converted

No one has an official reason why; although my thoughts are that SLP lost the conversion contract to ASC and just said f-it.

SLP does know the build number of WS6 cars. Call SLP and give them the VIN and they will tell you the number.

just did that a cpl weeks ago on my 96, they should have it

I did may years ago... And I went all the way to the top of SLP at the time... Always was told the same story no matter who of the 12 people I talked with there.

We can confirm the VIN was converted to a WS6 by us; but we can not tell you which one because we did not track that, only how many we did.

Well, I got my number when SLP still had a message board back in 99 or 00. Seems like they can still give you the number if you call.

Try again.
