Hey now...
I like SVOs a lot (have had 3!), but when something shows up in Cophers, the time to save it has passed. At that point, you can either get in on getting something that you or someone else needs, or let a vultures get it and have the parts disappear, never to be seen again because they want way too much for them.
I've spent the last few weeks trying to sell an 86 SVO that I bought a long time ago. I have it advertised on 4 sites as well as in a very visible local publication (it's up in NH). It's NOT easy to move one that's not in excellent shape, even if it has all of the special SVO bits and pieces. I'm looking into shipping it, because I'd rather see it cleaned up than chopped up.
