    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.
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    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.

    Hey mbeach,

    I have a 99 "Ironman" and it does NOT have "Ironman" on the seats. I can tell where the other stickers have been, and it did have the "Ironman" on the hood when I got it but no floor mats. I had brought this up in a post awhile ago and didn't get much info out of it.........I know mine has been repainted in places due to repairs..but not the whole thing....

    ??? not sure what the deal is..
    The price you pay to be different......

    My fear is that the vehicle has been repainted -a white repaint is often a sign of bad bodywork.

    It was purchased through a national auction, and the previous owner is unknown (to me).

    Last 4 is 0723 if anyone has the capability of hunting it down.

    Thanks for your help, it was indeed a debadged Ironman (the dealer's photos did not show the embossed seats, nor the floormats that had been rolled up and stored under the seats).

    I bought it tonight...
