Zl1 Unique Serial Numbers Explained
Hello all, we are fortunate to have ZL1 specific and sequential serial numbers for these great cars. I was wondering if any in the group knows what the other numbers in the long number sequence mean? And what the different number and letter combinations translate into. Thanks!

I'm thinking position 5, 8, 10 will be new values for the ZL1
 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

Seems like position 5 denotes "S" for Manual trans and "J" for Automatic.
And, there has to be a color code for one of the digits as well. SlickRick... we need more info! Thanks!

ZL1 Serial Numbers are sequential. in positions 12-17
example ZL1 VIN.... (This is BeckyD's Car) 2G1FJ1EP9C9800415---- There are a few things that make this VIN different than any other 2012 Camaro on the line.... --FJ= 1SS/A6 (If this was a Manual it would be FS, and YES ZL1 vin's are based on 1SS model conversions) --P= LSA Motor, the LS3 and L99 have different Engine Codes. --8= Vin Sequence Reserved for ZL1 (on a non ZL1 coupe/vert the VIN ends C91xxxxx or C92xxxxx, on ZL1 C98xxxxx this is how Becky knows her car is ZL1 #415)
