VIN for History (makes no sence till you read post)

I have heard there is a pontiac place i can give my VIN to and they tell me what the history of my car is... Is this true?
If so where can i find this place, E-mail or web addres?
Coz a phone number or street addres wont help me here in AUS.

Do a search for Pontiac Historical Service(PHS)on here.I'm not sure of the process but you provide the info on your car(VIN) and somewhere around $50.00(US)and they provide a copy of the window sticker along with someother info on your car.

Edit:The website is http://www.phs-online.com

It was a dealer thing that showed the options the car came with, price, gas mileage, etc.

Yea, but $65 to know the whole history about when a car was made is well worth it! I'm surprised its not more expensive

Keep in mind the window sticker is a reproduction, it's not likely to be identical to an original window sticker.
