NEEDED ASAP - Red Sport SX4 Owner Image!
« on: June 23, 2011, 06:34:36 PM »
Title says it all. I need a good hi-res image of your Sx4 Sport - must be RED.

This image will be used publicly and possibly for profit so make sure that's ok before you submit it. I cannot give the details of "why" I need the image just yet - because it's a suprise! The person that "donates" the image selected will be filled in on all of the details of how it will be used BEFORE it is used.

Also, we prefer that you are able to bring the car to the Meet - but if not, that's ok.

Any help will be greatly appreciated folks! Thanks in advance!

That one looks nice - but it's missing the black stripe... we need one as original as possible. Still, I may fall back on this if that's ok with you. Either way, I greatly appreciate you helping out!

The image of the car may be used for merchandising... do you have a shot from a slight front/angled view where she's a bit cleaner? Don't worry about the background. It will be edited out.

And did I mention? NICE RIDE!! Bumper caps and all! All she needs is spoiler and maybe a 2" lift and she'd be SMOKIN! I like the black with the chrome... my SX4 is the only one I know of that is like that and I did it myself because I'm not a huge fan of the blacked out sport look. I like just a hint of chrome to make it all stand out.

My friend has a Beautiful Red Eagle SX/4 Sport.

I would have to ask him if it's ok for use if you pick his, but I can give you one picture of it.  I do have more, better pictures of it though.

He is 67 years old, and is having some health issues.  He wouldn't be able to bring the car to the meet.

I love to see a picture of an Eagle with the side and rear louvers. I don't have the clips for the side and have never put them on mine.

I personally hope we can find an original sport SX4 like was featured in all the AMC ads back then. The sport package has the spoiler, blacked out trim, racoon eyes around the taillights, and sport rims. I hope we can find one that's all original except with white spirit turn signals instead of the Eagle orange ones. This has always been my favorite image online.

The last picture I put up wasn't mine. This one is. My father owned two four Eagles since before I was born. I grew up with pictures of the red sport SX4. When I was 15 my father surprised me for my birthday with this Eagle. He found it at a junk yard and we convinced the owner to sell it to us for 250 dollars. These pictures are from my senior year of high school. I can't get recent ones since I finished painting and rebuilding most of it, but the fenders and hood are still off it waiting for me to buy a 401. I've got the conversion mounts, NV3550, and the rest of the stuff needed to complete it as a 401 5 speed. Notice the white turn signals from a Spirit and racoon eyes around the taillights.

my yellow sx4 (snow driver) has the clear spirit lenses i took out of my spirit race car. id LOVE to find another set of clears for the red sx4.

I've collected about 6 sets of Clear Spirit lenses and 1980 slat grills over the years. I prize them and consider them priceless. Its my favorite grill combination. Here is what my daily driver SX4 looks like with them in combination. This car is currently in the process of being painting red, so I'll update this post once its done so it fits the topic of this thread.
