Default C5 equipment list

Hey I am looking at a 1998 and 2000 C5. Is there anyway to find out what equipment they came with? For example is there a way to tell from the VIN # if the car has the Z51 package? Or is there a website you can go to where you can plug in the VIN# and it tells you what the car came with? Any help would be appreciated. I tried to search for a thread like this but couldn't find anything.

I'm sure the VIN # will tell you if you have a Z51 option on the car. But which years are you looking at? There was no 05 C5. 2004 was the last year for the C5. 2005 was the first year for the C6.

Theres an RPO list in the glove box that will specify what RPO options the car has.

Once you get the list of codes from your glove box you can visit this site to see what the codes are and see their commonality and rarity:


hope the link works........:

Well all I have is the VIN # right now since the car is out of state and I am still in the process of trying to look at it. Anyone know a website that will tell me with the VIN number

Try compnine.com

I think you can get one VIN for free, then have to sign up to get more.
