For example: My first Solstice - a 2006 - was built on Dec 5th and the VIN was 6Y106614. Oops, poor pick for an example, but close. First 1000: 000001 thru 001000 Preproduction/test/mules: 100001 thru about 100750 Zero-zippers and early Canada: 100751 thru 101000 Regular production: 101001 and up Gizmo and a couple of the other early statistitions may argue with me on this, and if so, I'll change my list to agree with them, I'm doing this from memory without doing any lookup. __________________ *"If you haven't seen the future, you haven't driven fast enough"* #000741, delivered 10/3/05

The VIN 000001-001000 of 2006 model year is the best indicator. __________________ 2006 VIN #30, first 1000 series, black exterior, sand/steel interior Index of useful threads: General, Tech

Hmm . . . it would be hard to remove . . . it appears to be molded into the dash . . . __________________ *"If you haven't seen the future, you haven't driven fast enough"* #000741, delivered 10/3/05
