Sorry guys, thought i posted this, maybe it never uploaded. But yes its confirmed it is a AA5.

 

And i was able to get the original doors, including handles, glass and interior door trim panels. They were in a shipping container at his shop.
So i do like the panel wagon look and am planning on leaving those on but will hold on to the window doors for when i decide to let her go. Thanks for all the help. KYP of rebirth to like new status

 

See the option 1SS , that indicates it’s got the SS features , not a different model
AA5 1/2 panel
AXS would be panel van

 

is there a list or definition sheet that tells the story of each code?

 

What year do you want? The specific meanings are not consistent.
Here is a pdf for 2009:
Attachment 49551

 

You're right. I'm losing it.

 

There’s a code list for tge 2009 model year in post #10 and 11 in this thread

We did have a member that deleted the rear side windows to make his HHR into a AA5.
There are a lot of fake SSs out there.
How do you open the rear doors?

 

THAT is great news! Those doors are gold! If you do any painting, be sure to paint those too. These cars are rising in value and someday that super rare 1/2 panel is going to be worth a lot more in original condition, instead of turned into a fake full panel.

Also, the full panels are notorious for poor visibility. Losing only the rear windows in the 1/2 panel has much less of an impact on what you can't see
