What you want to get from it. I restored one of those cars very little difference. I have almost all engine plus interior Parts if you need. I sold the car. I did major engine mods and kept everything. A sticker in rear comPartment has option. Z51 and leather plus Bose was most notable options. Is it a 4 3 or auto car

I dont think you can figure that out from the VIN. The VIN is going to show Make, Model, Motor, Body Style, Build Location and Sequence number. What are the RPO codes for the car?
