Yup that's just a VX shell with a swapped motor. It may have the VX trans still, but that's the same as a CX so no big deal. The 7 extra "White" wheels it comes with might be factory VX alloys which are kinda neat, maybe ask is he'll sell those separate if they are. Though the spare brass shift knob sounds like a real dealmaker haha. Brass? Seriously?

You could always ask if he has the factory lean burn 1.5L and ECU sitting in his back yard. I wouldn't buy the car but he'd probably sell the original motor for scrap if he didn't know what it was. Just my 2 cents.
