Wasn't sure where to post this, so if it needs to be moved please do so. Thought it would be interesting to post pics or scans of interesting SVO memorabilia for posterity. I'll be adding more later but here's a start. Feel free to add your stuff to. Anyone got any video's of the Mac Tool's car in action for example??

I found this trucker hat on eBay a few years ago, paid $15 for it. Now, if David LaRoque's book is to be believed, apparently the SVO engineers would walk the assembly line and give out hats and other goodies to workers doing a good job. Is this such a hat?? Who know's, but I've never seen another like it and certainly has an eighties feel to it.

Does it work? (the motor)

1979 new model year turbo motor. I would love to find that kit and build it. It says it has racing parts and requires 2-C batteries - so it must be a realistic motor.

Nice find!!!

The box is a bit worn but all the pieces are still wrapped in the factory bags and connected to the "framework" where they need to be broken off to assemble.
It is clear in areas and you can watch the pistons and valvetrain work.
It is a cool find and for $9 you cant go wrong

I was told by a dealer, there was a brass paper weight given to the dealers. It was offered to me in 1995 but it could not be located. Dang.

Found this and bought it because it matches on of my SVOs. Its from a "collector" series of muscle cars.
