This is the classic pony car with a very different attitude. The 1986 Ford Mustang SVO took an American muscle icon and added a dose of energy pumping turbo power for a rare package that will make you realize this is a rare value-priced sleeper.We all wanted more power in the '80s but we weren't sure if some regulations were going to outlaw our favorite cars. Ford decided one way to approach these unsure times was with a traditional V8, nd cool limited edition turbo car that was lighter but made the same power. The guys at Ford's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) developed this limited edition coupe that carried the Mustang's fastback style, ut with some very distinctive touches. It's instantly recognizable as a special car with features like the unique front end with single rectangular headlamps, ffset hood scoop for the turbo's ram air, nd dual rear spoilers. All of these unique elements are present today on this fastback, nd they look great against the factory-correct 2A Bright Red paint. When these special SVO cars were new, hey were about double the price of the base Mustang LX, nd so you can understand that this is a rare model with only 3,382 produced in 1986. Just like the exterior, he interior shares many premium Mustang GT elements, ut has enough unique pieces for the SVO to be all its own. It starts with the exclusive sport bucket seats with added adjustable supports, cool SVO three-spoke steering wheel, nd a Hurst short throw shifter. Because this came at a premium price, t also came loaded with features. This includes power windows, ower locks, lectric rear defrost, igital clock, nd provisions for air conditioning. There's even a newer AM/FM/CD stereo with auxiliary input to play all of your modern tunes. It's a true driver's car. That's why you get the full gauge pack, ncluding large tach to make sure you can see when this turbo motor really catches its breath.The advantage of getting a car from the SVO team meant it was built by engineers who wanted to make the best performance machine around. That's why this special Mustang is much more than just bolting on a turbo. We believe the 2.3-liter turbocharged, nd intercooled, our-cylinder engine is original, nd we know it's both smart and tough. This is a computer-controlled unit that was given beefed-up internals to handle even more boost than the engineers were dialing in. Ford liked to tout that this turbo motor was just like a V8, nd there were not far off considering this Mustang made as much horsepower as it stablemate 5.0 GT. But what made the difference of the SVO was that it had a true European flair on the road. That comes from features like the four-wheel disc brakes, oni shocks, cPherson strut front suspension, nd quad shock rear end. Plus there were other great driving features such as the Borg Warner five-speed manual transmission, ersatile 3.73 rear gears, nd power assisted rack & pinion steering, omplete with original title documentation, his 2nd-owner (who just rescued it out of the original owners garage) SVO remains a lot of fun, nd the price for this low batch collectible can't be beat.
