Vehicle Detail
Original owner selling this collectable, 24 years old and still looks brand NEW. The 2.3 Liter Turbo Charger with 200hp still runs great... recently relocated and drove it from Chicago to Raleigh with no problems! New front brakes, new fuel pump, new gas tank and liner. All installed to get this car ready for sale. It is ready, be the lucky new owner of this completly original rare racer! Always garage kept, never driven in snow rarely in rain, professionally stored since new during winter months. Goodyear Gatorbacks have only 2k miles on them. The car still smells new! Small paint chip in front, no dents anywhere! small tear in steering wheel leather from use (can be fixed) headliner is slightly loose from age. Otherwise this this is perfect. Runs very very strong! The Overall Package: In addition to the advanced engine, the SVO featured several key modifications over the standard Mustang to help increase performance. The front suspension geometry was modified, 15:1 ratio power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system replaced the standard system, a limited slip, 3.45:1, 7.5" Traction-Lok axle was added for the first year of production (later models used a 3.73:1 ratio, 7.5" axle), a new, ventilated four-wheel-disc braking system replaced the GT's disc/drum setup (a first for the Fox platform), specially designed pedals were used to aid "heel-and-toe" shifting and a complete Koni suspension system featuring specially tuned adjustable struts, shocks, and horizontal dampers replaced the setup used on the Mustang GT. Five-lug, 16 × 7 inch aluminum wheels wearing P225-50R16 VR Goodyear Eagle "Gatorback" tires were standard as well (originally shod with German Goodyear NCT tires, and later Gatorbacks). The rear disc brakes, the five lug hubs, the sixteen inch (406 mm) wheels, the quad-shock rear end (early 84 units used a solid steel traction bar with a rubber cover), and the Konis were used on the SVO before any other Mustang.Interior features included adjustable sport seats with lumbar supports, a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel, shift lever, and emergency brake handle, power windows, door locks and A/C and a premium stereo system, options that weren't normally found on small American coupes. However, an optional Competition Prep package deleted many of those features to save weight. The exterior had a unique front grill that was only used on the SVO line, and a biplane spoiler that was also unique to the SVO. The Mustang SVO was the brainchild of the development team at Ford SVO (Special Vehicle Operations). While the SVO was only produced for 3 short years, it has been said "The SVO was the best handling Mustang produced". In 1986 3382 SVOs were built bringing the three year total to 9844 units.
