Greetings all. Just bought my '99. Can't figure out if it is an Ironman or not!

Greetings

I've been reading the forums for a little while as I was researching the vehicle. This forum partially aided in my choice to buy.

One question though...

Is my vehicle an Ironman?

I know the Ironman's had the black/red interior and mine does as well. The only thing is, it doesn't have the ironman decals on the outside under the VehiCROSS decal. Also it is black unlike the white pictures I've seen of the Ironman.

Any ideas?

Thanks much.

Another thing I'd like to note is the seats, steering wheel, and door panels do not appear as if they were put in after market as they appear slightly worn as they should for the vehicle's age.

The Ironman only come in White. Also on the seats, the ironman logo is embedded into the upper part of the seat. Alot of Vx'er will debadge the outside so look at the seats. But when it comes down to it, it only comes in Victory White.

Strange...maybe the last owner did reapholster the seats.

I didn't think non Ironmans came with black and red interior.

[Anita]

The red/blk interior came standard on all ironmen, ebony and astral silver up and including the model year 99. Starting in 2000 more color options were offered for the exterior (Proton, Foxfire, Green Mica and Kaiser) and the gry/blk interior option was added.

All Ironmans came with the blk/red interior but their seat backs have the imbossed ironman logo.

[Mabry]

I see. Thank you for clarifying.

it's not an ironman. unless it was painted black, which would make it, not an ironman. But congrats on the VX!!! the ebony's are mean looking!

If I am not mistaken, Astrals are the ORIGINAL ones... everything else is a "clone".

LOL

funny....I always thought my VX's D.N.A. was gene spliced with genetic material from one of those I-MAN TIMEX Watches before it was cloned!

I have a 99 White "Ironman" however my seats do not have the IRONMAN logo in them??? which is odd I think......

[Anita]

That is VERY odd.. hmmm

Maybe the front seats were replaced at some point?
