Where did you get the VIN number from? If it is a North American car it shouldn't have the zzz in it, but sometimes the one on the body by the front fender has that one. You should get it from under the driver side windshield.
PET automatically corrected the VIN and this is what it said.
Nice options! Too bad no LSD but has all the other good stuff.

The vin on the fender (passenger side) is the body in white vin (the vin assigned to the car as it is being made). The vin in the window should be the same as the fender one....except for US cars..it would be changed from WP0ZZZ....to WP0JB0.. the rest of the numbers would be the same.
What does the sticker in the door say? does it match the fender numbers (last 4)..or the window numbers?

OK here are the options from the second VIN from the windshield. Does that VIN match the one on the door jam? The first VIN you provided with the zzz must have come from the passenger fender. The last 11 digits don't match the windshield so it must have been replaced somewhere along the way.

I'm not aware of any online source for VIN decoding. In PET 7.1 (and I would assume 7.2) you just enter the VIN in the VIN SEARCH box, and then click on INFO in the Car Identification box that pops up. This'll show all the option codes.

Post pics of the car from the side, the passenger fender VIN stamp, the engine serial number stamp pad, the transmission serial #, and the windshield pillar VIN tag. That should help figure out what you actually have.....
