[Sky 5]

There's a new web source coming online which provides production data on cars built during the past 30 years.

Just go here http://www.compnine.com/vid.php

 and plug in your VIN.

Enjoy ! 


Edited to add: This database is only for GM vehicles.

Make sure you type everything in lower case just in case the DB is case sensitive.

I typed mine in all upper case and my 2007 Saturn Sky Redline was born 11-21-2006. This site also included my options list:

http://www.compnine.com/vid.php?vin=1G2MG35X47Y130612

[baconbits]

I put mine in it didn't give me a date of build but did say it was one of 5 with options..having a speedo in Kilometers brings it down to 771 cars...

[Gentleman Jack]

HOLY COW!  Look at this!

Starting...

Vehicle: SOLSTICE TURBO 2 DR CONVERTIBLE
Year: 2007
Build Date: Unk.

Found 8,841 vehicles matching your year and model in our database.
..... (my RPO list)....

Rarity...
There are 1 2007 SOLSTICE TURBO 2 DR CONVERTIBLE vehicles (0.011%) matching your exact options list. There are 1 (0.011%) with at least as many options.

Holy COW  only 1 with my options!  Really?  anybody else getting this?  I can't have the only GXP with these options...


OK, FOR SALE
EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEAMLY RARE 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE GXP
THE ONLY ONE EVER MADE LIKE THIS

$1 MILLION DOLLARS

Thanks,

GJ

[tazz]

Could have sold it to that guy who paid 35K for the coupe for 50K.

[1LILNDN]

Gentleman Jack    YOU LUCKY          Priceless

[Gentleman Jack]

It makes me wonder- anybody else here have a DEEP Solstice with the brown top? (I think they called it neutral)?  GXP or NA?  I have only seen Deep with black top.  I wonder if that might be the unusaul option?

GJ

[Critterman]

Called a tanside or light side, something like that

[DCLocal]

Very cool site, thank you for sharing.  There is a lot of information yet my build date in unknown...

[Geos GXP]

Neat site. But my 2007 GXP was built on December 31, 1999?????

[2kwk4u]

I got the "one of a kind" return for my '06 (1g2mb33bx6y101409).  I don't believe the line that there was only 1 with AT LEAST as many options, though.  I suspect the reason it was one of a kind was that I ordered it without ABS, no Monsoon, no OnStar, painted wheels, but WITH every other option (as I recall, anyway...)

[DickW]

Mine said build date unknown but had all the options.

[Gentleman Jack]

Neat site. But my 2007 GXP was built on December 31, 1999?????

We found the FIRST solstice ever built!  It was actually made PRIOR to the concept car.  Very impressive.  I would think you are sitting on at least a 2 million dollar investment there.  Maybe set the record for an american car, so around 18 million?  I'd keep driving it. 

GJ

[GXPinKC]

Put in my VIN, but would not compute!

[Critterman]

Maybe your car was never built Ron, it is a figmant of your imagination as is this forum (twilight zone music)  

[Chemist]

Thanks for the OP! My car was built on my wife's birthday, and (like her ) was the only one built exactly like that on that date.

[Gentleman Jack]

10 bonus points for Chemist.

[KWhale]

It worked for my 06 solstice (2006-10-24) because the dealer where I bought the car had already given me that same date.

GJack, my car also came up as only 1 of 8,841 vehicles built that year.  I removed all the RPO codes that were on my glove box sticker that are listed as Unknown at the web site and I ended up with 2 cars that match those options.  I actually believe the "1 off" car because I have the code listed for the power driver seat (AF2) but I have manual seats in my car.  Basically, the factory screwed the original owner out of his power seat LOL!  That should make it worth a few hundred thousand more.

[Treeman]

Interesting.  It says my car was built 8/6/2008 but the sticker on the door frame says 7/2008.  It also calls my color victory red instead of aggressive.  Guess I'll take that too!  Only 51 others like mine.  Says only 569 red's built (guess in 2009).
