Anyone Seen This?

Has anyone seen an SVX with leather and a sunroof like this? They both look custom, but correct me if im wrong. Because Ive only seen a metal sunroof on an SVX, not a glass one, and it looks farther back than the metal one, and ive never seen leather in one like this. And theres something else, look at the engine pic, somethings missing, it looks like it has NO ABS,and yet the ad says it does?? hmmm... Heres the link to it ~Dennis

This is the cheap way of making a sunroof in a car which originally doesn't have one. They opened the roof... further to the back and inserted the glass kit which only opens and closes up and down.
The leather is a cheap conversion imitating I think motorsportwarehouse designs...
And the ABS is removed.

If the pictures are correct (I've seen times when the lister of a car used pictures from our site that are simular to what they're selling, rather then taking there own for the car) it's a 94 L with an aftermarket Sunroof and it's been reapolstered. Notice the lack of suade on the door panels and no power seats.

Very close Danny, but not quite.

The car is the L model, not the LS (only the L came with the grey dash). ABS would have been optional. Leather is definately aftermarket, as is the sunroof. If you notice, the car is listed as being RWD, so it's obvious the seller has no clue what they're talking about.

I didnt know that ABS came optional, but yes who ever is selling it knows nothing about the SVX. Hope who ever buys it knows that... Looks like an alright car, but I like the LSi ~Dennis

ABS was an option on the L. Looks like this is a dealer trade-in who in turn knows little about it. Surprised he doesn't make outrageous claims.

Yesterday I sent the seller a message about that little mistake in his listing . . . Something along the lines of if it has a dif. in the rear it's AWD, otherwise it's FWD.

The car had 84k over 2 years ago. The car has barely been driven since Carfax shows it moving to Fl. Dealer's lot for the last couple of years?
