3rd character- Identifies vehicle type or manufacturing division.

4th to 8th characters- Identifies vehicle features such as body style, engine type, model, series, etc.

is there one for pontiac this one says invalid vin.

im just curious because i have a 2000 TA and in the vin i believe it is marked as a formula, and when i bought it, it was a TA. i need to clarify this. i found somewhere that said that TA's had a w in the vin and the formulas had a v. i have a v and not a w so WTF...do i have to go kill the people i bought it from?

 

I do believe all Trans Ams Started as formulas and got a different body kit put on them. I think the formula tag was for the LS1 engine. I could be wrong about the code, but I'm sure someone will chime in who knows a little better than I do.

 

Oh, look inside your door at your RPO codes and you'll see a Y82 also stating you have a Trans Am ( You'll have a WS6 on there too if you have a true WS6 )

 

"2G2FS" is a Firebird
"2G2FV" is a Formula or Trans Am.

PM me the last 8 of your VIN and I can look it up for you.
