I had to drive from NC to PA to get mine. They are out there but sometimes hard to come across though. The SVOCA website has one in Kansas City for sell, but they just recently updated their website and the users e-mail is not valid anymore. It was an '86 for 3K. Keep looking there, they always have someone posting cars for sale. I know you are fixing another 4-banger, but what really makes the SVO so awesome is the way they handle. Remember,they have the 5-lug wheels and disc brakes all the way around. They also have the Koni shocks on all 4 corners as well as 16inch wheels. Those were pretty big by mid 80's standards. If you ever get a chance to drive one, go for it and you'll be hooked just like me(I've always been a V-8 man). If you do run acroos any, remember to make sure the SVO specific stuff is there before you dish out the cash. Also remember the 85.5 is the rarest and most sought after, thats followed closely by the 86. The 84 is the weakest of the years, but can still be made pretty fast. The gearing on 84's messed them up. Good luck finding one and if I see one near MO I'll let you know.
