Color code for all RED birds 1998 and 2000 was 81U. If that owner has a copy of the invoice or the PHS, it should say that color code. If the car was a special order car for 1998, maybe he ordered another color called Red-orange color code 96U. This color was supposed to be only available on V6 birds and not available in model year 2000. Maybe thats your difference.
