Posting every color per year would take A TON of time, especially for S13's. And it would take even more time to find out which ones were MANUAL/AUTO. All of that information is not easily available in the VINDAT file so I would have to cycle through each individual VIN number one by one and record it down.

But I did take a little time for you to record the production numbers for S14's (this is for all paint colors).

1995: 25,142 units produced.
1996: 7,355 units produced.
1997: 3,682 units produced.
1998: 2,792 units produced.

For the S13 guys I have breakdown by body style:

I understand that it would be time consuming. Not sure how it works. Is there anyway for you to send me a copy of that database? Assuming it would be legal for you to do so? And that way maybe I can assemble the data/mine it etc.

There's nothing you can extract from it other than paint color, interior color and the plant at which the car was manufactured. All other information has to be looked up through FAST and that is manually entering each VIN one at a time and writing it down and then moving to the next. There's a randomized check digit in the VIN code so with each instance of a VIN you have to check 0-X values until you find a match. The unique six digit code inside the DAT file reads as a NULL value.

So the amount of VIN numbers for S13 and S14 is around 250,000 total. Multiply that by 11 for worst case scenario and you will have to enter in 2,750,000 different instances in order to find all the unique VINs.
