1984 and "early" 1985 SVOs originally had recessed headlamps.
"late" 1985 (called '85½) and 1986 SVOs originally had flush headlamps.

It is easy enough to change from one to the other, so don't go by that alone to figure the model year. Quickest and easiest way to figure that out is the model year designator (10th character) in the VIN.

E = 1984
F = 1985
G = 1986

An '84 SVO VIN would end with EF and six numbers.
An '85 SVO VIN would end with FF and six numbers.
An '86 SVO VIN would end with GF and six numbers.

An '85½ SVO VIN would end with a number of 230115 or higher.

I've always wanted an SVO. I like em just as much as SSP's. They are truely underrated. Good find!

No it hasn't been posted on that website. I don't have a 4 eyed car so I'm not on that site. If you could pass it along that would be great. If not I understand.

I posted a thread in their FYI Car Section. I will let you know if anyone there needs more information from you.

The maroonish color you described sounds like medium canyon red. I had an '84 SVO in that color with T-tops! Even the SVOOA said my car didn't exist. But it sure did! Here's a link to my brother and I's SVOs over the years.

I think what they (SVOCA) meant as to its existence is the T-roof option being "factory". That roof option was not available on the SVO. One had to buy an SVO and then have the roof installed after.

So more info on this SVO. It is an 84. One owner car. Bought right here in Northern CA. 180,000 miles. The owner drove the car from his previous house about 30 minutes away about one year ago and parked it where it sits now. The owner said he tried to start it recently with no luck he thinks the starter or the solenoid my be bad. Never been in an accident. It is covered in dust and pollen. If anyone is interested let me know and I will PM you the guys info. I'd buy it if I had the room for it. He's asking $4000 but said he also said he is open to offers.

I've seen pictures of $600 SVO's that are almost better than that. I don't think it is worth that whole $4k unless it runs like a champ and has a half decent interior.
Doesn't run, Needs whole exterior redone, probably needs interior work, motor should be gone through(heads are prone to problems), turbo probably needs to be looked over by a specialist, ect... I'd say around $2k or less.
