Their response, that information is not available.

A long time ago, VIN's were called "serial numbers". I know that was true in the 60's but I can't remember when the change-over happened. Maybe now that they're called VIN's, there's no guarantee that they will come out in a "series".
Accoding to the wikipedia page on VIN:
"Vehicle Identifier Section
The 10th to 17th positions are used as the Vehicle Identifier Section or VIS. This is used by the manufacturer to identify the individual vehicle in question. This may include information on options installed or engine and transmission choices, but often is a simple sequential number. In North America, the last five digits must be numeric."
NOTE: "but OFTEN is a simple sequential number"...
