How to tell if its a WS6?
How do you tell if a car is a original WS6? is there a vin numeral or letter? I know the late 80's Montes and the eighth number of the vin is a G if its an original SS, or is there a code on the tag somewhere?

Since 1981, the 8th digit of any GM VIN has always been the engine code, not anything to do with trim level or model.
A mid to late '80s Monte SS should have an "H" for the 8th digit, as they were all the same 305ci/4bbl V8.
'98-'02 F-bodies will have a "G" as the 8th digit when originally equpited with an LS1.

RPM, not looking to stir a fight, please don't take it that way, however you are incorrect the eighth digit will always be a G if its an SS here's an example
this is the vin from a Ls on ebay
1G1GZ11H 4JP11847
this is the vin from a SS
1G1GZ11G 2HR111803
The G is for the HO motor which will tell you its an original SS, I might not no jack about the LT1/LS1 T/A's but I know my Montes
