I guess I will start with a story since everyone likes a read..
I bought my SVO after spotting it on Autotrader.com in 2006, I was stationed in Wyoming (USAF) at the time and had my father go and pick it up for me after many emails and phone calls with the seller. The deal was made and it was taken to my fathers house in Ohio. I first saw the car in person right before the SVOCA reunion in 2007... yeah yeah I know. I towed it there and back to storage mainly because I could not get it registered since I was no longer an Ohio resident. I left the car in storage in Ohio from 2007 till Mar 2012 when I returned from Italy.
I have ended up here in California and decided to tow it here from Ohio so that I could do alot of the things that I wanted to do with it since I bought it. In route to getting it here from Ohio the tow dolly tire blew out and the tire tread but a small dent in the passenger side door...dammit!
I have collected alot of NOS parts and nice used parts since 2006 and I am now getting it all together to have a nice driver quality SVO.
This SVO was sold new in Costa Mesa, California at Theodore Robins Ford after being on the lot for almost two years! It left CA in 2001 and was sold to a man in TN and then to a guy in Ohio that i bought it from. I have spoken to the original owner of the car and he told me the car was autocrossed and was his wifes' daily driver. He told me about how well it handled and beat up on some Porsches when he had it. Pretty cool i thought
Enjoy..

I also will run a new thread on my 86 1C SVO barn find and it's return to the road.
