Selling the Turbo SVX - Please help me find it a good home!
Hi all,
Well with my daughter Elise turning one this week and a new van for the wife, it is finally time I bid farewell to my life's work. With a high level of confidence I can tell you this is one of the only successfully turbocharged SVX's out there that truly runs well and is built right. I am asking $3500 obo. Its a freaking steal, both in raw parts and labors of love. I hope to find it a good home with someone who will enjoy it, rather then end up breaking it down for parts (which will no doubt yield more). The build, ongoing fun, and more pictures then you could dream of are on the site, but I will be posting up in the for sale section with a formal overview. If anyone is interested, please send me a PM or call Phil at 608-712-1906 and I can tell you about it in more detail. Best Regards, Phil Gantz Madison, WI

Phil,
Were you able to retain the AC when you went with your turbo? Thanks. -Bill

I did not retain the A/C. Its not really possible. The issue lies in the passenger side hoses being right where the goodies have to be.
Also - It has a loud passenger rear wheel bearing.

I am currently holding the car for Keven to look at on Sunday. Going to have to drive her to work to get one last cruise. It is gonna be hard, but if Keven decides to take it, it will be going to a good home. The other two of you, I will keep you updated and offer the car in order.
Regards, Phil

Re: Selling the Turbo SVX - Please help me find it a good home!
Ya know, if I had stayed with the job that I had back in 2001, and not quit, I could easily afford gems like yours, YT's, Mike CG's.
However there was a VERY high chance of me, whats PC for freeking killing just everybody? not getting along with others. Yours is a historic SVX, and I would be proud to own her. Tom

If it's still for sale come September and I get my college refund, I'd gladly fly my ass up there and drive it home

Chuckls,
I have a ridiculous amount of pictures to peruse on the site (i know, its an addiction.) You can check my Old Locker (top right section, old locker, then Phast SVX) and for some more info on the build itself, advanced search from above to search for posts by me for all kinds of update pics, and check my How To section off the main thread list for the entire build process laid out in detail. Regards, Phil

The car is in running condition right? I mean, it is drivable and all without issues?

Well it is the end of an Era for this guy. Keven is on his way home right now with the only successfully turbocharged SVX known to man. It was hard to watch her drive away, but I can tell he will take good care, and look forward to seeing updates.

Phil. I know this is probably a bittersweet day for you. I hope that the car is looked after as well as you looked after it.
Best of luck to the new owner!
