If you haven't done this already, and have a friendly parts department, you should go there and ask them for a printout of your Vehicle Build and Vehicle Summary, from the GM Global Connect system.
I'm not saying the information is 100% accurate, but it at least tells you what's in the system as far as your vehicle. For example--my car (Caprice PPV) was built in June 2011, best I can tell, but the database says Sep 30 2011--the car may have landed in the US or arrived at the ordering dealership by then, but it was actually assembled some months earlier, so it's not clear how the Global Connect system views this anomaly as it has been entered in this (my) case.
The Vehicle Build data includes a complete list of RPO's on the car, with descriptions, and Vehicle Summary is a complete record of the applicable warranties, with start & end dates (or odometer readings).
There is a menu of several different additional reports that can be selected, including Vehicle Component Summary, Vehicle Transaction History Detail, and Vehicle Delivery. There's more, but I have no idea just how much a dealer would be open to providing or how much data each owner may care about.
This info gives an owner a historical reference and "pedigree" for their SS. The same into is available for any GM vehicle, but for special models, like the SS, it's always nice to have this sort of information.
If you want these docs for your car, and don't have or can't find a cooperative dealer, let me know your VIN and I can help you.
