Up for grabs.

1986 Ford Mustang SVO. Car has 25k original miles on it, yes only 25k. I am the 2nd owner of the car.

Interior is immaculate, I've never seen 27 year old leather in this good of condition. The dash is perfect, shifter, parking brake, seats, etc..

Paint is in decent shape, but still original Ford single stage. I spent 5 hours on it this past summer buffing and sealing it, looks pretty good for it's age!!

Only thing is, the left rear rock guard developed a hole in it, so I removed it.

The engine is 100% stock down to the air box. Original radiator was leaking, I have saved it. But I replaced it with a 3 core and respaced the electric fan. A/C does need recharged and the heater core was seeping, so I have bypassed it for now.

Original mufflers had holes in them. I replaced them with Magnaflows and reused the original tail pipes, sounds incredible for a 4 cylinder.

I have replaced every fluid in the car. Rearend has royal purple, engine oil is royal purple racing 41, merc trans fluid, Ford Gold coolant. I cleaned the injectors, replaced coolant sensors, cleaned out the intercooler and piping. New fuel filter.

I have bypassed the boost control solenoid and am using a hallman boost valve set at 14psi. The premium switch now just controls timing ( like stock ). Everything is still there to hook back up if you desire.

Car has great power and doesn't skip a beat. It put down 204 RWHP and 265 RWTQ at 14PSI on a dynojet dyno.

Car is in Des Moines, Ia. There are countless other things I've done to the car in terms of upkeep and making sure it's turn key ready. This is a low mileage DRIVER, it doesn't need any work to get in and go cruise some car shows. The car does have a really cool old alarm system that works with remote!

Let me know if you want any other photos or contact me for more questions or information.

Asking $8900 OBO.

Good luck with the sale!

Have you tried posting it on SVOCOP or SVOCA?

I've got it up on MustangSVO.org

I will try to put it up on the other sites. I know turboford.com, you have to have a paid email. I've got it up on at least 9 websites. I haven't even had a nibble.

Edit: svoca won't let me get into my account for some reason.

I forgot SVOCA made it paid members only on the forum. SVOCOP was set up by the guys who were pissed off and bailed on SVOCA. So it has many of the SVOCA members on it.

Its a clean car, were having the same problem selling that 03 cobra, there's a buyer out there just takes a little time to have that right person actually take some time to see/drive the car to appreciate it

After looking around, it's hard out there. Nothing it's meeting the Ebay reserves on any specialty cars.

Looking at what the current market will support. I'm lowering my asking price to $7800

This is a damn steal for a car this nice.

Just let it hang on the market a while. Mine was out for about a month or two and I randomly got a call from someone out of state. He drove down with a trailer and picked it up. Just takes a while for the out of state people to hone in. That is a steal of a price.

If you don't absolutely have to sell hold out the right person is out there

I buy and sell a few cars a year and I find that as soon as someone commits to it four other people show up a week later

After adjusting my price I got instant interest. I do need to sell it in about a month.

Your car is a steal. If I was looking for an SVO it would be mine already. If you want I can post it over at turboford and SVOCOP to help the sale.

That'd be great! I'm about 10 posts from being able to post over at SVOCOP. I can no longer can access turboFord since I don't have a paid email.

If they will let you, just link to the craigslist ad.

They won't let me post it up at turboford since it is not mine I guess. I put it up over at SVOCOP. Those are most of the old SVOCA guys so hopefully they can point someone to your car that is looking.
