[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 5039177, member: 9628"] I had a little more recent SVO experience. Last year I bought an 86 Comp. Prep. nice car, 19K documented original miles. I paid basically what the MSRP on the original window sticker, $14K or so. I thought it would be a great car to show with the R's, a perfect fit. I bought some nice parts that were needed for most any car that is 20+ year old car to make it a nicer car to show with my R's. I assumed that since only 83 or so were built that I would be able to get a few $$$ out of it when it came time to sell. Then a 1995 Cobra Convert. w/Removable Hardtop #167 came up on eBay, the car only had 9K or so miles, but most importantly it had the extremely rare factory Theft Deterrent System. The theft option is hard to find in any 95 Cobra, not to mention one of the 1003 converts. and then on one of the 499 Removable Hradtop cars, I had to have it. I already owned #14, but it has no theft option. So, the SVO went down the road. I pretty much broke even on the SVO itself, and then sold all of the very nice parts that I had accumulated for that car. I did better on the parts. Overall, I did make money on that car and parts for the 4-5 months that I owned it. It did seem that the SVO market is soft. If I could find another Comp.

Everything stuck out on the SVO as needing attention or restoration. I really would have had to pile a bunch on money into that car so it would show well next to the R's.
