The last I heard (about 2 years ago), the SVX pace car was in an automotive storage warehouse/garage located in the Cherry Hill, NJ area very near SOA. I don't know it's exact location or if it's still there.

If I did, I would be in the midnight auto business and Earl would own a fushia metalflake SVX with a flashing amber light on the roof.

And McGvyer, I would have made back what I paid out for the new '97 SVX and then some.

I will bring the "SVX Pace Car" poster to the Reading Meet.

<<Dust!? The driver's door is smooshed!>>

no,no, its just the way the pic was taken with the dust. The car is in Mint shape, believe me, i rode in it!
Blow up that picture... It may have been mint when you road in it..., but that door looks like corrugated tin... The window line doesn’t match either...

If you took the picture and say that it's mint... I can't call you a prevaricator though… But just for the sake of argument… could you get a picture of the left side?

Yeah, I've re-studied the pic and it still looks smooshed to me. Also to have all that dust around and have the driver's window down. My guess would be that when they smooshed the door, they lost the glass. Of course, I'm getting old and my eyes play tricks on me . . . not to mention the brain cells AWOL from the seventies and all the fine KY bourbon I've consumed over the years.

the picture looks edited. it does look like it got smashed, but i have an eye for digital image correction/alteration. also notice the black erased spot in the top left corner.

in any case it does seem to be in disrepair. does anyone else have tips that look like that? not even mine are that dingy and corroded.
also, aren't there two pace cars? i remember a silver one.

more and more inspection. looks like handprints/groping where dust used to be.

The car is two tone. It's a lighter color in the front and it fades toward the back.

I think you've got two members confused John. paddlesnz's real name is Paul. Are you thinking about svxcess whose name is John?
