Turbo Koni Special: 1984 Ford Mustang SVO

This next car comes as a tip from Matt C who writes: For $5000, running and driving, how bad can it be? Seller says the tires and a lot of the other rubber parts are dry rotted, but the car is all there and most of the paint looks shiny. The SVO was not just a Mustang with a smaller engine. The SVO got real engineering attention: Koni shocks/struts, 16-inch wheels, unique front fascia, bi-plane rear spoiler, and chassis tuning aimed at road-course work. Find this 1984 Ford Mustang SVO offered for $5000 in Oakwood, CA via facestang svobook.
