Oddball VX??

[mbeach]

I've used the search function already,

I just wanted to hear this from someone who is positive about the answer (not IIRC, or AFAIK, etc.).

I am negotiating the purchase of an '01 VX. It is Victory White/ red-black interior. There is NO Ironman badging or embroidery anywhere on the vehicle. It DOES have the roof rack.

Is this a debadged Ironman, (with reupholstered seats (which show wear consistant with age, btw))? Or is it an odd White non-Ironman (or is that really even odd)? Should I pull the speakers and look for Sony markings?

Thanks in advance to all who respond, I've read some posts that made me unsure of the actual answer.

Basically, the ironman ONLY came in Victory white with alot of stickers on it...including the "ironman on the hood". However, the ironman came with embossed "ironman" on the seat along with "ironman" floormats. As for the roofrack, anybody can BUY a stock rack for thier VX. In the Ironman edition it came with them. I think you have to ask the owner a few more questions...like why the seats have been changed......why debadged......where are the floor mats? Stuff like that.

I think the question really is can you get a white 01 VX that is NOT an ironman?

The answer to that question is no. However, (if the owner did not de-badge, replace seats, etc.) maybe it was simply repainted white. Either way there is something up with that VehiCROSS and you need to ask the owner what it is.

I've heard of original Ironmen that did not come with the embossed seats. More likely this is one of those that has had the mats replaced and stickers removed or that it's been repainted. There's a chance too that some Victory White models were produced that were not Ironmen (I haven't seen this, but that doesn't mean that someone didn't want to pay extra for the package and had one ordered).

I agree 100% with John E.
The Victory White was only available in the U.S. as the Ironman version and should have all the emblems, seats embossing, carpets and decals. If the seats are not embossed it has to be a repainted VX...check the color code on the firewall, it should read "Body Color/Trim ID #877/106 if it is a correct Victory White/Ironman version.
