Default Re: Look What Fell In The Door - A "FORD" SVO Mustang

I owned dozens of these in the late 80's, none of the dealers wanted a used Turbo but a lot of people that "knew" them would pay decent $$$$ for a nice one

the 85 1/2 model was the best version, highest hp - I had two of those, one was a competition prep version (like the 1LE)

fun to drive, handle well, factory Konis (6!!!), 4 wdb, forged front suspension, pricey when new ... the LX & GT 5.0 had the same HP but more torque

I averaged over 100mph on a stretch in KS on the way to a race in Salina and still got over 20 mpg - great cars, looks like you have a nice one

they didn't catch on and Ford pulled the plug (much like the Lincoln LS)

I <span style="font-weight: bold">know</span> how to set them up for autox use ... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
