            It's a shame it doesn't have the original wheels. Those wheels don't look like they fit right at all, like the backspacing isn't right. Other than that, it really doesn't look rough at all to me. Of course sometimes pictures make a car look better than it does, but that's a decent price. Still wouldn't remotely consider daily driving one.

              As an SVO owner.... i don;t think i would be willing to trust an UNknown SVO as a daily....

              Once you go througha few things to ensure its road worthy, it might be decent..
              ONe buddy of mine had his SVO for 150K miles. had a few quirks here and there, but no major issues.

              When i bought mine i had some serious issues that made it difficult to justify keeping it. but once i got the kinks worked out it was fine.
              Most issues i have found with SVO's have been from previous owners.

              As for power potential. mine made 430+whp...... Srtomped a few LSX vehciles, 4.6's and 5.0's.

              Speed up to today and my SVO has been broke for 3 years.. it sucks but one day i'll bring it back from the grave... It broke since the factory rod finally failed at over double its rated HP..

              I would choose a SVO only as a weekend / secondary car.. not a primary.

                Absolutely incorrect...

                Poor Maintenance from previous owners leads to car fires...

                  I loved the he'll out of my SVO. Had an 86 for almost 10 years. Wish I never sold it. It was most definitely a love hate relationship.
                  When it was running good it would hold it's own with anything out there. While it was stock and slightly modified it was extremely reliable.
                  Once I starte doing some serious mods to it it became a secondary vehicle.
                  Funnest I had was taking it around TMS and flooring it around the turns. The fucker held so flat it was a blast. Most people see how fast they go on the straights, I was seeing how fast I could go in the turns!!!!

                    Not a svo but my 2.3 dd has been good to me. Like most have said preventative maintaince will go a long way.

                      I've been daily driving whats basically a svo in a truck body for the last 3 years and besides a broke shifter fork and a bad tfi module it hasn't been to bad. I do keep it at a weak 7psi but I'm trying to not break it. If you end up with one, do whats been posted and change out every hose and do a tune up.

                        yea the wheels look like shit on there, I hate those wheels on anything anyways. The pictures look about like the car looks, I mean it runs and drives good, but the paint looks like shit, interior is in ok shape
