From: Loveland, OH, US
Car: 4
Engine: 6
Transmission: 5
1=country of origin - US
G = mfr = GM
2 = brand = Pontiac
The next few are for body style & restraint system
H = motor = LG4 (base 305 4-barrel, 145 HP)
4 = check digit = meaningless except to check for errors
D = year = 83 (80 is A, 81 is B, etc.)
1 = assembly plant = an error, that's either a L (Van Nuys CA) or N (Norwood OH)
From there out is the car's serial #, 1st car off the line was 100001
Other than that, it's a perfectly ordinary VIN, in relatively good shape, seems not to have suffered much degradation over the years.

And as a general rule, it's a good idea NOT to post you complete VIN. Some people can use a VIN for less than honorable purposes. I can find lots of information about you that you might not want me to know using your VIN. Then I can print up a phony registration, run down to the friendly neighborhood title loan company, get a few hundred bucks, and have them look for you when I don't make payments. I can do even worse...
