    Default Mystery SVO, please decode buck tag.

    Mystery SVO....
    Went & looked at a 86 SVO for sale locally, All Vin's check out to be a 86 but several issues raise red flags.
    #1 Color code on Buck tag is 2A & car is white.
    #2 Spare tire trunk area, K member & floors under carpet are silver.
    #3 Inner shock towers & engine bay are white.
    #4 Inner fender apron where air cleaner is does not have the oval hole stamped in it but it the pre 86 style like on my 85.5
    #5 It also appears to have a sage green hood under some peeling paint.
    Owner also claims it is an ultra rare 86.5 based on info her father told her as it was his baby...
    Is there a way to tell what the back half of the car was being it's silver & the buck tag states it was born Canyon Red & it's white now?Name:  IMG952017053195101859988001002.jpg

    I'd check with CarFax - I wonder if it was rear ended and clipped....

    Carfax shows no accidents & listed as a 86.

    You could pull the outer fenders and see what the partial VIN is on the inner fender plates. That would at least tell you what the front half of the car is from

    Same issue with my car....front didn't match the back, although for me, it was the first year of Window VIN's, so there might have been a legitamate mess up at the factory....

    We checked that & it matches the buck tag & dash vin plate.
    Door tag was pretty much unreadable & appeared to had been removed & replaced.

    VIN: 1fabp28t5gf229690

    Skip "E2ZZGLX" is very through..

    Sounds to me like it's pieced together from several bodies. The buck tag is definitely from a 1986 2A SVO.
