This is a crime, Literally!!
Most of you know my profession. In addition to doing Fatal and Class 1 accidents, I get assigned hit and runs in between cases. Without devulging too much a case crossed my desk this afternoon:
"Suspect vehicle, a 1992 Subaru SVX, fled south on S 5th St. after striking Unit #2. Vehicle was described as a red SVX with two dummy hood scoops and writing on the side..." - excerpt from the state crash report. Some people....

I am supprised that by-standers reconised it as a SVX, let alone to say it was a 92 model.

The reporting officer knew it was a 1992 from the plate. The witness knew it was a SVX. It said "hood scoops" so I'll let you know when I find the car.

I found the car. It is a barcelona red 1992 LS-L. It has the mouse track belts. He painted the waterfall grill body color. It had two dummy scoops on the hood. The kind that stick up. He also is the owner of that dark blue 1994 LSi I saw before with the huge bi-plane rear wing on it and the yellow writting on the windows. That one also has the grill painted. Both interiors were painted over the wood grain and had shift knobs on the auto floor shift. Both had aftermarket rims. He also owns a 1996 LSi and a 1995 L parts car. As for it being repainted Lwin, I looked in the door jambs and under the hood. It appears to be original paint. The VIN is for a 1992 and is registered as such.

I should have pulled the data plate info for my own curiosity. It must be a very late 92. It does have a 1992 VIN. The paint behind the motor and everywhere else I looked for tell tale repaint was barcelona red.

A very early '93, perhaps?
Does it have the center console lock switch?
