Gateway Classic Cars of Atlanta is proud to present this 1986 Ford
Mustang SVO. The Mustang SVO is a limited-production version of the
third generation Ford Mustang sold from 1984 to 1986, during which
time 9,835 examples were built. Although it departed both
physically and mechanically from any prior version of the Mustang,
it held the same spot within the lineup, both in terms of
performance over "lesser" variants and in prestige, as had variants
such as the Shelby-tuned and "BOSS" Mustangs of the 1960s and
1970s. Ford began to make a major push forward with the Mustang in
1982, nearly completely reinventing every aspect of the vehicle,
which included putting a new emphasis on the model's sporty nature.
Just prior to this, in the fall of 1981, Ford decided to form a
division that could oversee both the company's racing program and
the production of limited-edition, high-performance, street-legal
vehicles based on or taking technology from the race vehicles.
Officially, the division was called the Special Vehicle Operations
Department, but the public came to know them as simply SVO.
Powering this mustang is a 2.3 liter turbocharged inline 4 200 Hp @
5000 RPM and 240lb-ft of torque @3200 RPM from factory. Backing
this engine is a 5-Speed Manual Transmission. The Posi-Traction
rear end has 3.73:1 gearing. Interior was only available in
charcoal grey (leather or cloth) and features included adjustable
sport seats with lumbar supports, a leather-wrapped tilt steering
wheel, shift lever, and emergency brake handle, power windows, door
locks, air conditioning, and a premium stereo system, options not
normally found on small American coupes. Options on this 1986 Ford
Mustang SVO include: Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio, Cassette
Player, Spare Tire, Lumbar Support, Power Brakes, Power Steering,
Power Locks, Power Windows, Jack, Spare Tire, Tilt Wheel, Seat
Belts, Cloth Interior, Radial Tires, Alloy Wheels, and
