Looks like mine. Just not all the options. I have an auto t top sport metallic gold with 9800 original miles. Might be selling soon also.

Good luck with the sale! That supercharger is going to limit the buyer's market a bit but you may find that one certain buyer that loves everything about the car. It sure is beautiful.

Oh, and you might want to consider a new plate next year. CompNine got their website back up (their GUI has changed), and I can now tell you additional rarity info on your car:

# of '98 SGM WS6 coupes w/ A4: 34
w/ RPO 142 (Pewter leather): 27
w/ 142 & NW9 (traction control): 13
w/ 142, NW9 & W55 (Monsoon w/ CD): 8

Take your pick.

Those pics...

Hope you don't mind as I saved them to my hard drive. I mean, HOW COULD I NOT?!

Such a gorgeous color for the car.

Thanks guys... I'm very happy with how she turned out. It goes in next month to have to minor paint work done (hope they can match it).

No problem BANDITCAR, I appreciate the compliment.

Any of you guys attending the TA Nationals next month in Dayton OH?

I'll be at the TA Nationals on Friday and at the Saturday cruise-in in Tipp City. I'm not sure if I'm going to enter on Sunday and get judged. I've entered off and on for the past 11 years.

Man, your gold TA is incredible! That color really helps to define and showcase the complexities and contours of the ram air hood and bumper very, very nicely!

I'm truly happy for you, dude!

I'll be at the Tipp Cruise-in at least on Saturday night if I don't make the Dayton show. I've always liked the cruise-in more.

There were seriously only 34 ws6's in this color?? Damn, I knew it was rare, didn't know how rare. I went to school with a girl that had a gold ws6. Wish I would've jumped on it back then.

Come to think of it, maybe it wasn't a ws6... i think it was though.

34 SGM WS6 TA coupes w/ A4, there were 18 w/ M6 for a total of 52.

7 SGM WS6 TA verts were built, 3 w/ A4, 4 w/ M6.

6 SGM WS6 Formula coupes were built, 2 w/ A4, 4 w/ M6 (and one of those was a 1LE).

TOTAL SGM WS6s built: 65.

And that was only the 3rd most rare color in '98. The 2nd rarest was NBM, although NBM was introduced late and very few were built in '98, that color continued through the '02 MY. 20 TA WS6 coupes, 2 Formula WS6 coupes and 9 TA WS6 'verts in NBM were built in '98.

The rarest color WS6 ever is BPM, 0 Formulas, 10 TA coupes and 2 TA 'verts were built in '98.

I had a BPM camaro before the SS, really kinda miss that car. Was just an A4 V6 though. Haveto agree the bird looks better in BPM though
