Love that site though. You can find all of your options. PS. You has no G85

Your build number or production sequence is the last 6 of the vin.

unless youre gonna try to be one of those guys who boasts "ive got one of 2 red cobalts with a nick in the drivers door and the smokers package and a high rise with an automatic and this color interior and a moonroof." you cant even get those numbers at gm without going through piles of paperwork and data. real production numbers are difficult to get let alone which order they came out in. have you tried calling gm? i called mercury about the vin and door numbers on my 65 comet to find out the original color and what options it came with. they were very helpful. build date is probably your best bet. meet someone with the same model and same year yours was built a month earlier than his, yours is closer to being #1

It says your car is one of two with the exact same options. Unless I am reading it wrong

Don't believe that stat. It's can't be right. Some people have had it say they were the only one. It's BS

Depending how many options are available for the car the combination's could be tens of thousands so its not out of the list of possibilities

When i was doing all those build date threads I remember finding some pre-production cars that were built around the end of Feb. beginning of march 08 . Yours was one of the earlier full production car's i remember doing ..... I don't know why I remember these things ...weird I know .
