Well a guy in a local mustang club is selling his SVO... its got some mod work done to it.. It will out handle my GT and is extremely quick for what it is..



early 84 (slapper car) SVO. It is a slapper bar car, Leather, Factory Sunroof car. Has been tuned up w/ all Ford parts including PIP, TFI, TPS, CTS. 86 cam, T-bird IC, ported E-6, New 3" dp, new factory Y pipe (exhaust not yet on) 2 almost new BFG comp ta's (95% tread) interior is in average shape (front seats were recovered) car has a slight drivability problem. High miles but has good compression (125-130 avg) Runs and drives but pops out of exhaust under boost, believe to be bad FPR. Located in St. Louis MO





Not sure what he means but his price is right the car looks decent.. needs a bit of front end paint.. its missing the classic SVO bi wing and exhaust but I am interested in it!



If you look in the background just about all you see is mustangs. This was one of our meets at a local hooters. I rolled through but in my Grandma's Eclipse so no pics of my GT are there.

I wish I had listened to the car run now that I am thinking about buying it. I will have to meet him up he lives about 20-25 minutes away....

Cool, the SVO's are cool cars.

Holy ****, how can that guy even see past that white hood scoop in the background!

That mustang in the background runs low 10's....

Fast as hell but most people think it is just a mustang with hood wheels and exhaust... Z06 already made that mistake! made it infront of all of us trying to be a toughshit! Rolled up through a mustang meet kind of just rolled by each car then gave a bit of a rev and parked down by the hardware store. Then he smoked them some and came to stop and parked so that guy went down there and said some kind of rough **** to the guy in the corvette. Guy in corvette gives superior attitude... guy in corvette races guy in what he thinks is a mustang with just looks and sound. Guy in corvette is made looking like his car is as fast asa geo metro. Guy in corvette tucks his tail between his legs and never shows his face for the rest of the meet.... awww that sucks.... was funny though.... trying to roll up in a mustang meet with a brand new Z06 thinking your the **** and get shutdown by an 88 Mustang! :lachuh: :thefinger: :teufel: :bigok: https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/devil.gif

SVO with no bi-wing? What happened to it? Sagged too much and he took it off?

looks like decent shape to me, buy buy buy https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

nice. i didnt know them cars came boosted back then. and its probably all the rotaries fault, with their little 12A flying by the domestics.

anyway, sounds like a great car, not too old not too new and a whole lot of whoop ass.

dont be surprised if i rolled up to an rx7 meet in a camaro or firebird. i was at a friends place and he had a few. i thought they looked nice and room for 4.

Ok here is what he told me about the car



I am still interested but a bit cautious now about the car....

but 1400 is pretty cheap.... Just someone did nto take care of this car. I will want to run it by one of the mechanics at my work before purchasing this car.





"Get ready cause this is a book. It is Med Canyon Red

(2A), factory sunroof, leather, PW, PL. It is an

Early car (late 83 build date) and has the Slapper

bars. The previous owner hit a deer with it on the

front drivers side corner. It did no structural

damage just cosmetic. The nose is fine (minus the

header panel) the fender was replaced w/a used one (it

matches the car) but the top edge of the door under

the mirror but above the belt moulding and from the

front edge back about 10" was mangled, then a car

backed in to it in the same spot in a parking lot

(have a clean Jalpeno Red door going w/ the car). It

has the typical rust on the bottom of the doors and

hatch and verry minimal rust on the roof (typical on

sunroof cars) the sunroof does not leak. The car

drives nice but it does need a steering rack (leaks

but still has power steering). It is missing the top

wing (didn't have it when I got it). The interior is

average. The front seats were recovered at one time

but the drivers side bolster on the back rest is worn

(where your butt hits getting in) The vinyl headliner

is falling but doesn't hit your head thanks to the

sunroof. It has no radio, a few cracks in the

dashpad, nice door panels, 6x9's in the quarter panels

by back seat (have a nice grey set to go w/ car), A/C

works but is low on Freon (haven't checked for leaks).

I have put about 700 miles on the car since I bought

it and it has never left me stranded. The car starts

right up, shifts good, the E-brake works, makes full

boost, has good oil pressure, doesn't overheat but

does have a manual override just in case. The car

does have a drivability problem though, It pops under

boost and loses a cylinder at WOT, 80% of the time. I

bought the car in worse running shape (had a burnt

valve, collapsed VAM to turbo hose wrong firing order)

and am just to busy to finish it. The car has a TON

of new FORD parts including TFI, PIP, CTS, TPS, Plugs,

Wires, Cap, Rotor, PCV, Fuel filter, air filter. The

car has high miles but has good compression (125-130

avg) I got the car about 5 months ago w/ the intent to

just drive it while I restore my 86 SVO (2A leather

car) I have no time right now for either and only have

storage room for one. I will finish the Exhaust before

sale (3"dp in to stock Y, straight to Stock Stainless

Talipipes. I am located in ST. Louis and want $1400

firm for it, and would prefer it to go to somebody who

knows what it is. I can get pics but will take a few

days"



Some of this is a problem but not all of it...

The headliner not a problem I got dealer connections.

Steering rack could be a problem but not sure.. Would probably end up replacing it with a Flaming River rack.

The cylinder part still has me wondering what do you guys think about this? I know a fair amount about cars but this kind of makes me go HUH? ??? So what do you guys think about this car now? the interior is not much of a concern because I was going to update it with an 91 interior anyway (already got the guy waiting on that part) Just curious as to what you guys think. Not a rotary but not your everyday V8 Mustang either. But with his mods and with it running in top shape which hopefully I can get it in it will out run 5.0's. I am meeting him up thursday night to take a look at this SVO. I will be selling my GT to buy this car. My sister says she can get me 2 grand for my car so I might let her buy it off of me. But I really want to sell it to someone who will enjoy it and treat it the way it needs to be treated!

So what do you guys think?

new parts:Has been tuned up w/ all Ford parts including PIP, TFI, TPS, CTS,New 3" dp, new factory Y pipe (exhaust not yet on) 2 almost new BFG comp ta's (95% tread)

Needs: Dash,Steering rack,header panel,paint touch up or whole paint job,Bi wing spoiler... maybe a bit more...





the guy I dont believe is going to put mufflers on this car though!!!!!

That will be way too loud so I will have to see on that one!

Also I am kind of curious as to what kind of power this car pushes... it says 190 stock. But it has a Tbird intercooler and an 86 cam and a ported E6 Exhaust manifold.



Also I just talked to the guy a bit more online he is interested in my GT ... lol that could save some time and effort! lol



We are meeting up thursday after 6 so wish me luck on this one guys....

Well drove it...

THAT CAR HAS SOME ******* BALLS!!!!

It is running 19lbs of boost

and once this car hits 3000 Rpm's man it is all over!!!



She needs some bodywork...

Interior is nice though....

He has a spare door for her..

She needs a new hatch for the rear and she is missing some body cladding.... not a big deal.. she has a bit of rust on her but I am not really concerned... I would be painting that anyway...

He is willing to take my car off me and give me his + CASH!

The car runs like a bat out of hell!!

I believe it to be quicker than my 5.0!

Hey fix your avatar Twin89.... you can use the new avatar upload feature if you can't get the link to work https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

download it to your pc, then use the avatar upload feature.... then it will be stored on the nopistons.com server https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

ok lol give me a bit of time here.... IE sucks....

Put a new one up instead!

DAMN THIS SVO IS SWEET I HAFTA GET IT!!!



AT LEAST I COULD BE TURBO LIKE MOST HERE!!!!



lol



Man me and him just raced even with the cylinder dropping off in the race he was hanging with me!!! Damn maybe this SVO is more like a mid 13 ride!! I am a mid 14 car and this thing gave me a run with a dead cylinder! It works sometimes it wont drop off. But man this thing is fast! If all cylinders had been working he probably would of beat me!!!!



I am buying this damn car!!

lol

He wants my car like a crazy mofo though!

He said he can get me 400 right away plus his car and if I want more to give him time to come with it. I believe I will ask 800 plus his car.....

Your descent into madness has begun. With the switch to a lighter car with a smaller engine and turbo, you're one step closer to a RX-7.



That car does sound pretty sweet, though. SWEET LIKE A NINJA! :ph34r:

man I want this car!



I am pretty sure it is a done deal

he wants my car I want his...

He seems pretty willing to give me a decent sum of cash ontop of his car for mine! Mine is in better shape and the shape it is in is known...

But his does run good....

He says the reason for selling is he doesnt have the space for another car, yet he wants to trade for yours, I would tell him $1000 cash plus the car.

Yea that is a little odd, you sure he isn't trying to get rid of his hunk of **** for your car?

actually I was going to ask 1000

because that is the payoff on my GT...

Yeah I am a bit nervous about this car...

I have driven it and it seems pretty nice...

But I am going to get it up on a rack and have one of my mechanics take a look at it and run several tests on it... My gt is a daily driver and is in good mechanical shape... I expect the same out of this SVO!

Check this pic out!



I would love to make the SVo I am trying to get look like this!

Nothing some body work, paint, and rims wouldnt take care of B)

I think I may pass this one up....



Unknown miles (over 100,xxx)

Missing header panel (headlight mounting panel) so lights bounce when the road is bumpy.

Needs paint on the whole body.

Needs hatch

Needs exhaust



Honestly I get a feeling that I am being taken....

I am backing out of this one...

He was going to give the SVO plus 800 for my car.

But he wanted the cold air the cooling fan

the stereo the speakers the EQ.

Sorry I got the car for sale for 2500 or best offer but that is minus all of that stuff!!!

Now he has his car for sale for 1400 I figure it is worth 1200 maybe 1000.

But lets go off of 1400 plus 800 is only 2200... **** that!! I felt insulted on that one! 1989 Gt Mustang with 78,xxx miles. All my car needs is a top a seat cover and a cowl section! With the mods I have I would not sell it with all that stuff unless the price was bumped up to near 2800.... Sorry! cold air intake 150

cooling fan 70

New clutch 150

new quadrant 50

Pioneer flip down cd player 300

Clarion EQ 200

Pioneer 5 1/4 50

Pioneer 3 1/2 50

New Valve cover gaskets 50 (reusable ones)

New EGR (Ford Factory part)



I felt like an idiot when he brought his friend over! I felt like I was being fucked over! I am getting madder and madder at this by the second! I am passing this one! With unknown engine condition and mileage i was a bit unsure in the first place! But to hand over a car with all the stuff done it and it is a daily driver at that I dont think so! Sorry guys... maybe I will run across a 7 worth it. But this SVO and the owner basically insulted me! As for the GT... am talking to a guy now about Ponies and a set of longtube headers off road h pipe and flowmaster mufflers with dumps. I will make my gt sweeter then turn around and try again down the road... unless at that point I decide I do not wish to part with the car. Which could be the case! Part of the thing is I also cleaned the car up washed her cleaned her rims and polished her! WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I had not really done it since I bought her!! Actually I never had! NICE!

Ok sorry had to take out my frustration.

He was pushing me into this deal! Well I hate to do it (well I dont really) but I am breaking this deal!



A turbo would of been nice but I am not going to do it nice this time around anyway...



I do know you dont get back what you put into a car but come on this car is worth damn near 3 grand without all that crap done and with 120,xxx miles (local mustang parts dealer and car salesmen said he could sell my car for that).











Sorry for the long post guys....



You will have to tolerate my V8 ass for a while longer!
