No it's not in the VIN.
However, it is on the trim tag on the radiator core support. Right there in plain sight, in raised sheet metal letters and numbers.

Well how do I then decode the numbers and letters? I dont think those are there because the individual who had this car before me redid alot of work in the engine. He put in a 350 and took out the 305. If that plate is not on there, where else could I find it?

One good item to get for your car, besides the Pontiac Service Manual, is the Pontiac Product Book for the year of your car.
It comes with most of the option codes, what's standard, what are options. In the front of these book, it even gives samples of the seat material, in the various colors.
In the section on your car, it will even give you body molding info, as well as decal colors for the color of your car!

Thanks for all the info. I was hoping that there might be a easier way. I looked last night around the radiator and couldnt find any kind of metal stamp. And the middle console lid is missing.

If its the tag i think there talking about is on the core support more twards the pass. side of the car. Next to were the fan shroud bolts to. Should have six #s on it. But it could be missing. Its rivited on, so very easy to remove.

Black - color code 19
Light Saddle - " " 62
Russett - " " 68
Dark Carmine - " " 72
Dark Gray - " " 82
What exterior color is your T/A?
As I think madmax was trying to say, NO trim tag on '86's. '85 was the last year.
