Default Decoding VIN

does anyone know how to decode the VIN # ? I have a 2002 WS-6 and was wondering if there's a # in the VIN that would designate the order the car rolled off the assembly line. How cool would it be to have the LAST Trans am made?!!!

All the info you could ever want to know is in the RPO decal by the latch on the driver door. This will tell you the color of the car along with all the other options that the car was ordered with.
