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.

Uh...ok. I just thought I'd try and pass this along to someone that may want it. I'm not trying to say it's worth every penny of $4000. The guy just has that as a starting point. He said beside the starter not turning over it ran and drove fine when he brought it from his last residence. oh...That is one thing I didn't mention is the interior. I was expecting an interior like the one in my 89 but this one is surprisingly really nice. The back seat looks immaculate. I am jealous of his interior for sure. It blows my 89's out of the water for sure.

Thank you for your efforts. I guess it comes down to I'd hate to see this car go to Pick your Part or end up being a side show doughnut queen out here on the Oakland streets. I have my hands tied because I don't have any room for another car. If someone was coming to pick it up I could probably get away with keeping it here for a week or so.
