Here I go again. Found someone locally advertising a 1982 SRX 440. While I know that there is a 99.9% probability that it is a 1981 SRX mis-advertised as a 1982, I still can't help but get a little excited. Has anyone heard of an SRX 500 being re-engined with a 440? I guess I just like the hunt I guess, like when I got all excited for finding the ultra-rare 79 SRX Fur-Forty.

The sled was sold from the time I called this morning to the time they told me to call back this afternoon. I guess I'll never know what it really was........ $1200 was the asking price, and I had it ready......
 
Yes it is rare over there, but not so rare over here the 8R9. Then the 79 srx 8J0 is more rare here:-) But the most rare is the srx440 81(8m6) it did newer came here.

But im sure many know a lot about it.

If someone would pay me a lot for a 8R9, i could find one.

Different countries, and different story:-)
 
Contact the seller, get the name of the guy that bought it. At least to confirm the ####

Yes, Greenland seems to be the logical middle point. How long would it take to drive from Norway to Greenland? I think it's about a 26 hour drive from here, if we cut across Canadia.
 
Yes your correct its a lot of srx440e over there, as i know here is two in Norway that have bought one from Us. And the guy that bought my
8R9-0101xx is a friend with the owner of one of them.

The VIN is confimed to Jon B that know alot about srx500 and srx440 and helped me out to get a few parts i didnt expect to find by myself, thanks to him that i started digging deeper for information about this "rare" sled.

Here is one at one of the craiglist in Norway know, asking Nok 70000,- for it.

As far i has understood, there shall be nine 8R9 in the US, but not all have the VIN number in the tunnel.

Swap will newer be a option for me with a 8M6.
