Looks like it may be a clone. I've heard there were less than 10 of the true WS6 cars built in Purple for 1998?

Mr Phil

I just did a vin RPO check on comp 9 and it says primary exterior color is black so its probably a repaint, also only had 3.23 gears and is an original California car too

I've never owned an A4 F-body, but I believe the 3.23 were the desirable Gear for the enthusiast, correct? I sent him an email. He states original wheels, thanks for the update.

I've only seen a handfull of purple firebirds, formulas, or trans ams. I've seen one in person and it was my step-dads when I was younger. I don't remember the purple being that vivid.

I saw a post once that all A4 WS6's had 3.23 gears. I have that in mine, is code GU5

I can tell you just by looking at the picture it's not Bright Purple Metallic.

Nope, it's not that vivid, and the hue on that car is a little brighter and more reddish than BPM. Definitely a repaint.

This is the real thing:

You are correct. Only base model A4 T/As and Formulas have 2.73 gears, the gear upgrade was included with the WS6 package on a A4. Some of the base model cars had the GU5 option on them... my '99 T/A came with the 3.23s from the factory. You couldn't get a WS6 with 2.73s though, and 2.73 / 3.23 were the only gear choices for an A4.
