SVO Mustang

[Shambles]

Ain't sure about the year, but this was one of many Mustang models I built. Some kinda kick-ass turbo 4 cylinder.

Technically not a 84-86 SVO but a late 70's or early 80's turbo four hatchback.  The SVO had 16 inch wheels and at the time about the same hp as the 302 GT.  They were not a big seller but where ahead of their time. Your build is very nice and ou did a great job.

Thanks. I stand corrected. Hey, it was a LONG time ago and I built about a dozen Mustang models.

Cool build. Love those 14" wagon wheels. 

 

The early 2.3 turbos were I think about 130-135 hp, the SVO from 1984-86 were 175-205 hp depending on year.

The more I look at the build I think that's a rare kit and it's spot on.

Thanks yall. I regret selling off my collection, but hey... I needed to downsize. I'm working on a new model room so yall stay tuned!

Nice four-eye, you don't see early foxes being built up too often.

Neat model that brings back memories

I bought a first gen Fox Capri in 1979... back then when we first saw that Mustang / Capri pair they looked futuristic!  I was buying vehicles for my company and the Mercury dealer did me a solid selling me his first one in.  They weren’t released yet, so for the first month we drove it on dealer plates!

Car was a red V8 RS with Ghia interior, TRX package. Very pretty car but a turd!  It was always back at dealer for repairs and quality issues. Typical of Detroit in that era. Traded it in on a Nissan Stanza in 82.

Still I have all the parts in one box to build it someday!
