Usually not with production vehicles. The VIN will tell you year, engine, model, build number, etc., but not color or options.

If you guys want something more than a production tank at a decent price here is the photographer that does all the work for Carl Bjorklund of Super Rat performance. Carl and his brother Mark build the bikes at very reasonable price. To show how good they are Ryan Stiles (Whose line is it anyway, Drew Carey show) requested they build a bike for his annual charity auction. These guys aren't just a couple more hacks trying to make a ton of money they build unique bikes that fit your requests.

Don't you mean "Olive Green Nightmare? The only thing uglier than half olive green would be that all drab olive thing with the star on it. It's not a military bike and it's not a deuce and a half.

Since we are already reviving an old thread... I thought my olive green was nothing special until I heard it was 1/300
Never seen another one until a friend started shopping for a 1200; he found an olive green halfway down the east coast. It appears they tend to be located on the Atlantic side of the US.
