Hey'lo

I'm new, and haven't researched my car, but have owned only GM in the past ...two '82 Cutlass Supreme coupes, an '84 Eldo Biarritz and now a third gen 1989 350 Formula convertible Firebird!

Mine has re-issued VIN underhood, but no other 'vital stats' I've been able to locate. Does the new VIN offer me any headway on history?
I was told about the codes for options and had something akin to that on the trunk lid of my 84 Cad. Eldo.
I haven't on my Bird. I'm the third owner.

TIA,
Bill S.

 

the rpo sticker is either on the lid of the glove compartment in the center console or on the lid of the lockable glove box in the trunk

 

i guess a new vin would! unless its just the same VIN but a new one had to be out on...

check other places the guy said above and see if they match..

 

If you need to know your original vin there are many on the car.Inside the rear quarter panals behind the plastic,inside the fenders,doors.Front and rear bumpers.Just to name a few.

 

Hey guys, thanks...

BUT, don't most 'chop shops' etc., already know these locations?
(if they're pro?)
The VIN in the window is gone and a Pennsylvania reissued VIN is on the passenger side under the hood (on the inside fender, below the window)

I haven't seen any additional plaques in the locations suggested that aren't under trim.

In case anyone missed my original thread in the body/interior section:

Here's one of a couple shots I did when I got the car:

PA special plate VIN
Well, it's been a while but my starter done broke so I had a bit of a prob.

Here's the info. that might help nail down a bit of history on my 1989 convert.

... a couple more original glossy photos I shot of my car are not saved yet (to PC), but maybe later. I'll document the transformation from current roadwary condition, but these are from several years prior to now.
