VIN Decoder Update (Not Complete Yet)

First thanks to Number 3 for providing this link and other information.
http://service.gm.com/dealerworld/vincards/

Also to camaropete for his post; though not quite right I don’t think.

So here is what I have come up with so far.

VIN numbers we’ve seen
2G1FF1EV0C9000003 Victory Red 1LT LLT (manual) the test Car (Number 3) drove
2G1FE1EV9A9000021 Silver Ice Metallic LS LLT (manual) from the Portland Show
2G1FF1EV7A9000029 Black 1LT LLT (manual) from the Toronto Show
2G1FS1EW3A9000033 Victory Red 1SS LS3 (manual) the Test Car (HeatherR) drove
2G1FK1EJ9A9000039 Inferno Orange Metallic 2SS/RS L99 (auto) from Toronto
2G1FC1EV4A9000109 Rally Yellow 2LT/RS LLT (auto) from the Jacksonville Show

Positions #1, #2, #3 GM make Identifiers
"2" for Canadian Made
"G" for GM
"1" for Chevrolet

Position #4 Car line
"F" for F-body

Position #5 Series
“E” for 1LS (1EE37)
“F” for 1LT (1EF37)
?” for 1LT/RS
“H” for 2LT (1EH37)
“C” for 2LT/RS
“S” for 1SS (1ES37)
?” for 1SS/RS
“T” for 2SS (1ET37)
“K” for 2SS/RS

Position #6 Body Types
"1" for Two Door Coupe/Sedan (1E?37)

Position #7 Restraint Codes

Position #8 Engine Codes
"V" for the LLT (3.8 V-6 DI VVT)
"W" for the LS3
“J” for the L99

Position #9 Check Digit

Position #10 Model Year Code
"A" for 2010

Position #11 GM Plant Code
"9" for Oshawa #1

Positions #12 through #17 Plant Sequence Number

I have yet to confirm “H” for 2LT and “T” for 2SS though they seem to fit.
Also I have no idea what the codes for 1LT/RS and 1SS/RS might be.
I haven’t seen any examples of these yet.

If anyone would like to help to complete this VIN Decoder.
Pictures of the VIN numbers sure would help, along with a description of the car.
VIN numbers are found three places on these cars, outer left corner of dash,
on the label on the driver’s door and on the “Service Parts Identification” label found in the trunk.
The service parts identification label is my preference.

It sure would be nice if fbodfather could confirm the accuracy of this VIN Decoder
