I don't get it,the 2nd post says no, but then states the guys question

There is no way that you can tell paint and trim from the VIN.
You of course can tell the year, the sequence number i.e 441 of 448 and confirm the LT-5, but that is it.

There is/was a spreadsheet that listed many of the cars from when members joined either the original ZR-1 Registry or this one. If the information was given, then that is likely how the one poster came up with the paint and trim on that particular car.

Hope that helps!

Me too--Joined Larry Merow's group in 1993, about six months before I got my '93 in October 1994. The original ZR-1 Registry was a big help to me in learning about the ZR-1 before I bought one. --Bob

Under the "Member's Only" area of the main ZR-1 Net Registry, this production number comes back to the Chevrolet production of a Torch Red / Black ZR-1 with Painted & Bronze Tops, and is also listed in our Registry of ZR-1s.
