Re: "Orange" SVX on ebay?

It doesn't look like a good paint job to me as well.

Re: "Orange" SVX on ebay?

It looks to me like it must have been gutted, or damn near that at one point or another. Why else would you go to all the trouble of painting pretty much everything, like the trunk area? I'm wondering if it didnt start out as a flooded car, got gutted, painted and put back together after a good washing? It wouldnt look half bad if it wasnt for the cheap paint and the dents. Looks almost like a single stage paint rather than a base clear paint system. It looks dry with a hint of orange peel. Anyway my 2 cents.

I agree, after looking closely at some of the pics I was thinking flood as well.
Top of the speaker grills in the doors are rusted. Repainted in areas not commonly done by Maaco. A wire running from under the dash to the right door.
And if you look at the pic with the ABS, all around the the AC condenser is a bunch of built up sediment.
I bet it got caught by one of the hurricanes this year.

Cool Re: "Orange" SVX on ebay?

Also check out the rear towing/tie downs - they are the same colour as the car!!!

Re: "Orange" SVX on ebay?

I passed that one on ebay I thought it was red. I like it. That would look really good if you lose those wheels, fix the paint imperfections and get a JDM spoiler.
