RARE AND NICE 85 ½ SVO THIS IS A CAR I PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 05’ AND IS EXTREMELY CLEAN. IT SHOULD BE KEPT INSIDE AND ONLY DRIVEN ON NICE DAYS OR TO CAR SHOWS. THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN OTHER MUSTANG SVO CARS TO THIS ONE. THIS CAR IS IMMACULATE. SVO’S WERE MADE FOR ONLY 3 YEARS AND WERE WAY BEFORE THEIR TIME. IF YOU’VE NEVER DRIVEN ONE YOU WOULDN’T KNOW ABOUT ITS HANDLING, COMFORT, AND POWER. THIS SVO IS CLASSIFIED BY FORD AS AN 85 ½ MODEL. THERE WERE ONLY 9844 CARS SOLD DURING ITS PRODUCTION YEARS. 4508 IN 1984, 1515 IN 1985, 439 IN 1985 ½ MODEL, AND 3382 CARS IN 1986 ITS LAST YEAR. I WAS TOLD BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER THAT THE VIN MADE THIS CAR NUMBER 438. I HAVE A CERTIFICATE THAT SHOWS IT WAS BUILT ON THE LAST DAY OF PRODUCTION. HE HAD OWNED THE CAR FOR 5 YEARS. SOME MAY WONDER WHY FORD PHASED THEM OUT BUT AT THAT TIME THE MUSTANG GT WAS SEVERAL THOUSANDS CHEAPER AND PEOPLE DIDN’T REALIZE AND WANT TO PAY FOR THE ADVANTAGES OF THE SVO VERSUS ITS SLOWER AND POORER HANDLING COUSIN THE GT. TECHNOLOGY COSTS MONEY. THE 84 AND 85 SVO’S HAD ABOUT 145 HP WHERE THE 85 ½ HAD 205 HP AND 86 WAS DROPED BACK TO 200HP WHICH MAKES IT REALLY QUICK AND FUN TO DRIVE I HAVE THEN PUT IN LARGER FUEL INJECTORS AND FUEL PUMP, COLD AIR INDUCTION, A BOOST CONTROLLER TO TURN UP THE BOOST ON THE TURBO, A FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER FROM STINGER, A 3” DOWNPIPE FROM THE TURBO, A CUSTOM MANDREL BENT 2 ½” EXHAUST, AND A SPEC STAGE 1 CLUTCH. I HAVE NOT PUT THE CAR ON A DYNO, BUT BELIEVE WE ADDED AT LEAST 75 HP WITH THE UPGRADES. THIS CAR IS IN SHOW CONDITION. I HAVE YET TO SEE AN SVO THAT WOULD COME CLOSE TO THE CONDITION OF THIS CAR. DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE OTHERS, AS THEY TEND TO BE FULL OF BODY DAMAGE, BAD PAINT, AND NOT-SO-GOOD INTERIOR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. THE EXTERIOR CONDITION IS EXCELLENT. IT HAS BEEN PAINTED ITS ORIGINAL COLOR 2R JALAPENO RED. IT IS A RUST FREE CAR AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR APPEARS TO HAVE A VERY SLIGHT PARKING LOT DOOR DING, BUT NO SCRATCH IN THE PAINT, SO NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED. I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS SPENT MOST OF ITS LIFE IN TEXAS. THE PAINT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS NEW WEATHER STRIPS, HEADLIGHTS, PARKLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, AND HEADLINER. THE INTERIOR IS LIKE NEW. IT HAS WEAR ON THE LEATHER GEAR SHIFT KNOB DUE TO IT DRYING OUT. THE CAR HAS ICE COLD A/C WHICH HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO 134A. I JUST PUT NEW RUBBER ON THE REAR OF THE CAR. I HAVE 3 OF THE GOODYEAR VR50 EAGLE BACKS WHICH WERE THE SAME SERIES TIRE WHICH IT ROLLED OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR WITH. I DO NOT HAVE A FOURTH TIRE BUT YOU COULD FIND ANOTHER IF YOU WANTED TO PUT THE ORIGINAL BRAND TIRES ON THE CAR. THESE TIRES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. A COUPLE OF MINOR PAINT STONE CHIPS ON THE FRONT AND THE SHIFTER KNOB AND THE DOOR DING ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT I KNOW OF ON THE CAR THAT MIGHT NEED ATTENTION TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.
