The time built code tells you when the car was manufactured. The first
two numbers tells you the month (for example, 02=Feb., and 11=November). The third number is the week (A=first week in that
month, C=the third, etc. The built date on the body tag could be 4 to 8 weeks off date coded parts.
The year code is very self explanatory (70=1970 etc.)
The division series is the model info. See VIN Decoding for more info on this.
The Assembly Plant code tells you where your Monte Carlo
rolled off the assembly line! This is just some interesting information to know. Go to my VIN Decoding part of this site for a list of plants.
The unit number tells you the number that the car was made. This figure
started at 1000001.
The paint code tells you the original color of your monte. The first
number tells you the body color and the second tells you the top or upper body color.
The trim code tells you about the seats and type of interior that was
originally installed in your Monte Carlo. Below is the translated
codes:
· A41=4-way front power bench seat
· A46=4-way front power bucket seat
· A51=Front Strato bucket seat
· A75=Heavy Duty Front Bench
· A81=Headrest Strato
