Can anyone decipher this VIN?

I'm looking at buying an F-body long distance and I wondered if anyone could decipher this VIN for me?

1G2FS23E7NL208006

Anything you can tell me about the car from this VIN would be greatly appreciated. I have a carfax pending on it. I was thinking along the lines of what options were ordered on it and such.

Thanks all

VIN won't tell you about options really... only what engine should be in there.

Looks like it should have the L03 engine... its a 170hp 305ci.

Yeah the Vin aint gonna tell you all the good stuff, pretty much manufacture, engine year blah blah like posted above. Ask for the RPO codes and then decode them here https://www.thirdgen.org/cgi-bin/rpo/index It tell you almost every 3rd gen OPTION

THe car is either a Formula or a base Firebird, chances are its a base firebird, if it has greound FX do NOT buy into that its a FORMULA... To my knowledge No Formula ever came with GFX from 1970-2002, I especially know this to be true from 87-92 tho.

I personally would never buy anything less than a TPI car tho... the down side is insurance is a little more tho.

There is a Vin decoder on this site for your info. But the Vin will not give you the info you want.
