any way to know what's in the car from VIN

Hey guys,

I found a rear end 2 hours from where I live for a very decent price, but the guy I spoke with is clueless and it appears his a$$ is glued to the sit next to the phone.

He said the rear is from 97 V6 camaro. Doesn't know what the ratio is, or whether or not it is open/limited slip.

He did give me a VIN, so is there any way I can use that to figure out what that rear end was? I am still not sure if I should even be looking at V6 parts, but I am hoping someone will answer soon to that one as well.

Not really, you could try taking the VIN to a dealer and asking if they can pull the RPO codes for it.

There should be an axle code stamped on it. Otherwise youll need those rpo codes to figure out what it ORIGINALLY was.
