    Default 85.5 or 86 SVO west of Misissippi

    Sue & I are back in the market to purchase another SVO.
    This time we want either an 85.5 or 86.
    Any color will be considered, as long as it is not in need of an immediate paint job.
    We are well aware of what prices are being asked these days for SVOs, and what they are actually selling for.

    PS I almost forgot to mention, we are Arizonans in Humboldt................rust is not acceptable!

The AM/FM/CD radio was installed by The Specialist here in Tucson.

    Also included will be an 86 page Ford "2.3 L EFI Turbocharged Engine" guide and many internet downloads specific to the SVO. Hope I've remembered all pertinent info....oh yes, rustfree! And 71,300 odometer miles and I am not pic knowledgable.

    The search is over.
    After checking out a few 85.5 & 86 SVOs that just didn't trip our trigger we decided to purchase this 1C early 84. It is much like our first 84, but doesn't have nine years of cedar sap all over it, and has a view from the roof.
    It was only about twenty miles from where we are staying this May in eastern Washington. Now we have to figure out how to get it to Az.

    Thanks Matt......I haven't decided whether to store it up here or drive it home so far. It will depend on how it does during the next week before I am scheduled to head south. I plan to drive it as much as possible every day.

    WOW, now that is a very nice offer. I just rented a storage unit today in Spokane Valley, where I am going to store it or the other car that we have up here. Thank you for thinking of us in this situation.
    Hopefully I will get a chance to come over your way one of these days while we are up in the evergreen!

    Thanks for the invite,
    Some day we hope to get over to the left side of the state, and if so, we will be sure to give prior notice on here, in hopes of meeting a few of you over there personally.

    I do not know if there is anyone on this forum that is in the Spokane/Couer D'Alene area, where we are right now.

    Ron & Sue
