PPG Car
Over on the Yahoo site, SVXIT posted a pic of the PPG SVX, a car I have not seen in a long time. Do any of you know whatever happened to that car? I wonder if it was owned by PPG or by Subaru? I would appreciate any info you can provide. Thanks.

I think it was last seen at a Subaru warehouse in NJ.

I believe it is in Cherry Hill as well. We have tried unsuccessfully to get it to make a showing at Reading, or more importantly, The Lafayette Meet.

The PPG was a pace car back in 91 or 92. Last I was told it "might" be at NJ but wasn't in running condition. It would be a cold day in hell before Subaru lets it out for any reason it seems. I'd love to use it as a parts car though.

To see a pic of the PPG SVX go to the Subaru SVX Yahoo Group site. The PPG car was a pace car for a series of races. It is race prepared and not street legal. It is a historic car in terms of Subaru and the SVX. Hard to tell from the pic, but it was a silver SVX overpainted PPG purple from the rear forward, blending back to silver at about the A pillar. Not very pretty, but certainly distinctive.

It runs fine. I had a ride in it about 4 years ago. I have posted pics of it here before. do a search and you should come up with them. |

I remember talking to someone on here about getting the car to one of the Reading Meets. The concern was the money it was going to take. No one wanted to get money together to get it towed there. Maybe next year people will want to do something to get it to the meet. |

If they want it towed, I'll bring down my truck.

I know him, he lives down the street from where I used to live... He has owned 3 SVXes. svxpert would know, seeing as he has been to my old residence on a few occasions.

They don't want to sell their bastard child either. I'd pay anything to own that car.

I too am a photographer next to Cherry Hill, in Haddon Heights. If anyone has a contact at Subaru, I'd be more than glad to look them up and do a shoot!
