SVO Stangs
i just went on ebay and just for kicks looked up svo mustang. much to my suprise, 5 came up. turned out one was a 604 inch pro street car that had nothign to do with svo... but the other 4 were genuine svos, in all sorts of shapes. it had me curious seeing as how i'm in the market for a new/used car right now (and will probably end up with a '91 'scort GT i'm lookign at). if i had just another 1500 to spare i might be dumb enough to bid on one of 'em.
anyway... no real point to this story i just thought i'd share.

yup that is correct. They were nice cars, faster than the 5.0's but the price killed them. From what I understand, they were mostly setup to take a corner. Also parts are abundant for the turbo 2.3. It is a real popular engine for alot of kit car guys. It is also a popular swap for guys who have thoes MG midgets and stuff like that. The SVO and the turbo coupe shared the same engine so if you ever needed parts out of a bone yard, parts off a Turbo coupe T-bird should work.

Re: SVO Stangs
84, 85, 85.5, and 86.
Just shy of 10k made over the 3 years. They were designed to compete against cars like the BMW 3-series. Sort of a euro/road race/luxury sport coupe. The SVO specific parts are getting rare, but if you buy a complete car, you'll have everything you need. Normal maintenance stuff is readily available, it's just things like the hoods/front ends/wheels/wings/side spats/headlights are hard to find. Just traded my 86 SVO a couple weeks ago.    If you wanna be sure you have a genuine SVO, the first part of the VIN should be 1FABP28T.... if it doesn't have that "28T" it's not a real SVO. |

with a single turbo, it is impossible to have twin pipes.
