As of late, I have been poking around for an SVO. After searching, I came up with a charcoal 1986 SVO. One of the first things that I liked about the deal after chatting with him, is that he owns an 85 LX race car, 85 GT T-Top, and 2 other 85/6 mustangs (forgot specifics). Plus, he is a member on here, just not active. He says he hasn't logged in in a long time.
He claims the paint is pretty nice "8/10". I would agree with that judging by the pics so far.
The interior, however, shows its age. It is the factory leather, leather is cracking and the headliner sags.
Supposedly, no rust except for a small amount starting on the door sealer/sill on bottom side of doors. He says it is nothing major.
The car came with power windows, locks, etc. Everything works BESIDES the head unit. Apparently it does not power up anymore. Even the hatch popper works.
On to the good stuff.
The engine in the car is a semi built 2.3 with forged flat top pistons, and has some other little work such as a Ranger Roller Cam. I cannot remember much off the top of my head. I also know he has an aftermarket boost controller, FMIC, full exhaust w/ 3" DP, 2.5" flows w/ 2.5" tails.
On an engine stand in the garage, he has the numbers matching factory engine with a ported intake, 5 angle valve job, and some other small work such as a center mount header and turbo coupe turbo (i believe). It was pulled for the sake of modding a 2.3 more, without blowing up the factory engine. It has new rings, gaskets, seals, etc.
Anything that has come off the car, he still has. Although, i haven't heard anything about the original wheels yet saldy.
I am hoping to make a trip down to Kentucky to trade him my '86 GT T-Top..
What do you guys think about the car, the deal, etc.
I am not an SVO gurue by any means, but, to me it seems like a well put together car that is in pretty darn good shape with some basic yet decent mods that would make the car plenty of fun to drive.
