A VIN isn't going to tell you everything about your Caprice. The SPID (Service Parts Identification) label on the inside of your decklid will detail all of the RPO (regular production option) and/or SEO (special equipment option) installed on your vehicle.

A partial list of RPO/SEO numbers can be found here.
