2 things to say:
1 - That car is saweet. It's definitely not for race, but I bet it wins hella awards.
2 - About it not being an SVT.....at first I didnt think it was either, but look at the headrests. Those HAVE to be SVT seats. And you cant just have the seats without the interior right? and why would you go through all the trouble of replacing the entire interior when you could just buy an SVT? I dunno, but I think it's an SVT.

I just saw the article in lowrider euro today, and it is a 98 SVT, has two fenner hydraulic pumps, eight dump valves, etc. I cant remember everything it said, but it is one sweet ride, and alot of work has gone into it. If you have a chance to check it out, look at the interior!!! How the hell did he paint the dash, steering wheel, and leather SVT seats that colour of blue? Check it out and you'll see.

the ragtop roof is terrific. i want one for my contour and for the MGB!!!
anyone know places that install those things? i wonder how much it would cost....
the rear end needs to be restored, though. the fake round lights have to go.
and i also do not think is is/was an SVT.

I give that person a thumbs up for looks and style. I wouldn't drive it, but it's certainly a good show car. I give the person a thumbs down, however, for taking all practicality out of that contour. Practicallity is half the reason I bought my car.

Guys,
thats a real SVT, he doesnt have the skirts on for the simple fact he couldnt lay out like he does if he had them on. SMP- the rims are not GIGANTIC, they are only 18's, rims just look bigger when the car is on the ground.That is a crazy contour, good job on it,
