VIN Decoding

Post your VIN here and we'll be able to tell you about your car. Keep in mind that these older and smaller numbers don't contain any encoded information (color, options, etc.) that newer VINs do. However, the first few letters, HS30, HLS30, etc. will help us identify the specific model and the actual serial number part will help narrow down the manufacture date and/or model year.

So what's the VIN # you have?? Should start out something like HLS30-xxxxxx. Depending on what the "Chassis" number is will tell you approx. date it was made. The VB LTD. catalog has a pretty good listing in the front that helps decode chassis numbers...

Furthermore,

G=2+2 (blank for coupes)

H=L24 or L28E (depends on model year) this would be an R for L26's

L=Left hand drive

S30= car model

A=Automatic

F=5spd (blank for 4spd)

U=Federal Emissions or UV=California Emissions or UN=Canada Emissions

This help any? Newer VIN's are the longer numbers that you refer to... the VIN you have is correct for your car.
