There's no way to tell strictly by "decoding" the VIN. Does the car have HUD? Heated seats? If the answer to either is "Yes", it's a 1SB.
In addition, if it has the nav system it's definitely a 1SB although not all 1SBs have nav.

Yeah i seen a pic of the car, but there not very clear so i cant see if it has the 1sb package. That being headsup display heated seats and mirrors. It doesn't have nav. Ill just have to call the dealer monday to see.

This is an example of a VIN # for a 2006 Corvette Coupe:
1 G 1 Y Y 2 x U y 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 1
There are 17 characters. Starting with first character on left the codes are:
1. "1"= Built in US
2. "G"= General Motors
3. "1"= Chevrolet
4. “Y” = Corvette body style
5. “Y” = provides more info about the car, usually a "Y"
6. “2” = coupe ("3" = convertible)
7. “x” = restraint code
8. “U” = LS2 engine
9. “y” = check digit
10. “6” = 2006 model year
11. “5” = Bowling Green plant
12-17. Production sequence number (starts with 100001 for each model year)
1 G 1 Y Y 2 x U y 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 1
