Vin breakdown
Can anyone tell me a site or book that can break down my VIN. I think I have a unique car but would like to know what's original and what may have been added and also, stats like what gears are in the middle of the back rubber.
It's a 1999 medium metallic blue (which is supposed to be a rare color and the only year for it?) pontiac trans am converitble with the Ls1.
Thanks in advance

You can even get a VIS report which would tell you were it was sold new, how many miles when sold, what warranty work was done to it.
