Possible to get a vehicles RPO's by vin?

Just curious. I replaced my car's interior years ago, and do not have any of the original interior pieces which once had the RPO's on them. Is it possible to get a breakdown by vin somewhere? Would be cool to see, and know what my car was equiped with once upon a time

Since you have a Chevy, try a dealership, they should be able to make a printout for you... Us Pontiac guys are screwed before 1991 or 1990...

I had mine done back in 2000. This is what the dealer gave me . . .

This was also from a Canadian dealership. Not sure if the US dealers offered it or if it's been too long now for any dealer to find it. But it's worth a shot (nothing to lose).
I have heard of some dealers refusing to do it and other being just a pain. And then another saying no problem. So try around and see what happens.

There was a thread awhile back about getting the original invoice. Do a search for invoice and see what comes up as far as who to contact.

At one time the Dealer could print the RPOs from the Vin number. But now GM has DELETED this from the computer data base on cars 10yrs or older.

You need to call the PARTS department not the service dept. They can print you out RPOs most of the time. I got them for both my cars. The service dept uses a different database and can't go back past 10 years.

I will try to find a way because I think that would be cool as well but since I have an 83 I think I am burnt. I will check though so everybody else has a a way to find out.
