Default Find Options with VIN?

I'm considering buying a C5, is it possible someone here could tell me the options it shipped with by knowing the VIN? Is it also possible to find the maintenance history?

VIN is 1G1YY22G5X5112669

Thanks in advance!

Do you have access to the car? Most C5s have the option codes listed on a label pasted on the glove compartment door. 97s and maybe 98s had the option codes pasted on the lid of the left rear storage compartment.

The VIN can provide that info as well. You can use the VIN to get the maintenance history for any maintenance performed at a GM dealership. Some people on the forum can get it for you and your local dealer can do it as well.

Well, I checked out the link and I now know:
It's a 1999 Chevrolet Corvette. It used to cost $38,820.00. It's a two door, two seater passenger coupe.
My questions are all answered!
If I want to know what color paint it has I can just enter my credit card number in this site I've never heard of before.

Go to the link below and put in your year. Then hit regular production options RPO's and it will list all of the codes on the sticker under the door in the center glove box

Thanks again for everyone that posted helpful info.
Dennis replied with the history, looks like it's a good thing they just sold it to someone else.
