I was talking with a friend about some of the NOS parts he had with the Ford Motorsports logo on them. We got to the point of wondering if any of these parts would be "correct" for an earlier pace car he had. Neither of us know when they were first available from Ford to determine a good answer. We seem to remember they came on the scene about when the 82 GT hit the scene. We also sort of remember that in the late 90's (97-98?) "Ford Motorsports" parts transitioned to "Ford Racing" but that date is not one I've been able to track down on the www either.

We remember that SVO (1983-ish) turned into SVE then within a year or two changed to SVT. Wondering the dates on all that as well.

I believe this would be neat archive information if someone has all the answers.
