My "Project" SVX... What Should I Do Now?


Recommended Posts

If I parted it out, the parts would find homes in our 2 other SVXs. I just hate giving up on things and parting them.

 

Getting a roof and having it attached, painted, etc is probably not financially realistic. Hard to justify several thousand dollars of work on a car that cost me $250.

 

The roadster/convertible idea crossed my mind. Still would have to get a new windshield which is hideously expensive from the dealership and marginally acceptable in the replacement market. Thought about a Porsche Speedster-ish windshield, but would probably not complement the lines.

 

Roofless also is a pain in western Washington... especially with no garage.

Race it? The SVX really is a heavy car. Great GT, not so great sports/race car. It is absolutely fabulous on the freeway, including get great fuel mileage. I think of my XT as a fighter plane, and the SVX as an interceptor.

 

The body was in really good condition prior to that tree fall. What luck: The only object of any value on 2 acres, and the one tree that fell centerlined it. sigh.

Umm homeowners? Possibly auto insurance? I keep comprehensive coverage on my cars that just sit around like that for THAT particular reason. The last few cars I did that on cost me something like $2-3/month and they're covered against fire, theft, tree, vandalism, etc. My project loyale was covered like that for nearly 2 years, JUST IN CASE!

 

Call your insurance company and maybe get some quotes for comp only, NOT collision/liability/uninsured/pip etc.

 

Food for thought.....
