Lol mine was a bomb. I loved the 86 with the flush headlights, but I bought a 84 with the recessed headlights. Once I got the car home I was like wow this is going to be a money pit, not to mention I'll never be able to accomplish this project. After like a month of me messing with it, i had it up in the air in the garage and was just checking everything over.. I saw some rust on the driver's side apron/frame rail, so i poked on it with the screw driver to make sure it was okay, and the screw driver went right through the frame rail. The battery tray was right above it, so the battery must have tipped over and the acid just ruined the frame rail of the car. It sat in my driveway for about 6 months, I had it on Ebay thousands of times, I was going to part it out but all the SVO freaks were going to curse a spell on me for parting out a rusted out shitbox. Finally some guy in CT offered me a pitifull amount of cash, and I took it just to get it out of my driveway. I lost a ton of money, but I soon after bought my GT. I still love the cars though. If i could find a mint 85.5 or 86 I would definatley consider it. Definatley a fun and cool car. Fuel injected turbocharged 2.3 in 84 is pretty sick. Koni adjustables all the way around stock, 4 wheel disc. Definitely ahead of their time!
Come to think of it, I've been seeing one sitting in a guys front yard in Poughkeepsie for so long. If i pass by there today I gotta remember to look to see if its still there. Its had a for sale sign on it for so long now.

Go to tinyavenger.com they should have pix on their site if they did do the build. I do remember them having a car in one of the magazines.

It was a 84 Kinda rare , No options, No AC, No leather, No power windows etc.. Most SVOs Came with full options if you knew your SVOs
Sold it too cheap 5,000 with 52,000 original miles Grrr

When I bought my GT turbo I was actually looking for an SVO and thought the guy had worded the ad wrong only to find out it was a Mustang I'd never heard of before. Of course i never had heard about the enemic 79 to 81 carbed turbo either, But the 83 834 Gt turbo has the same fuel injected engine as the SVO. I"ve been happy drivin it ever since.

Here's my 86 I bought July 2010 on Long Island. Drove it back to Chicago. It's my second SVO, 4th fox body. This one will be a keeper, probably street it a little and mod. Might buy a more mint on in a few years to drive ocassionally and leave stock. :rock:
