Thread: 1985.5 svo?

  1. #1

    Default 1985.5 svo?

    I'm looking at a "1985 Mustang SVO" but it has flush headlights and no 3rd brake light which makes me think it might be a 1985.5 but the VIN number seems too low. What do you guys think? Vin is 1FABP28T0FF154394. I've read vin needs to be above 155000 which puts this close?

    It is not a 1985.5 unit. It is a 1985 unit.

    1985 = FF176245 or lower
    1985.5 = FF230115 or higher

    There were no SVOs made with a VIN of FF176246 through FF230114.

    So with the flush lights and no 3rd brake light, those must have been modified? Or am I not understanding 85 vs 85.5

    Headlights are not original. Original headlights on 1985 units were recessed, like 1984. Those headlights are 1985.5 units.

    Third brake light was new for 1986 so spoiler without third brake light is original to all 1985 and 1985.5 units.

    So what would a 1985 with 1986 front clip be worth? 80,000 miles, new paint, tires...

    It still has the inline intake, which tells me this is an 85 SVO. Also you can look at the door tag (if it is there) to see when the build date was.

    So is it just headlights or is the whole bumper/front clip different to fit the headlights?
