i really like that svo, but i'm still a diehard turbocoupe fan... i wouldn't have traded, but that's just me.

I like it. I wanted those same wheels on my White 85 Stang. The 88TC is clean... I'd still go with the SVO.

IMO -- 93 Cobra > Fox Mustangs :)

I would've traded it if it didn't have that dent in the fender. Those wheels look killer on it!

I'd hit it :hick: The SVO is about the only fox Mustang I'd consider worth owning. The fender isn't even an issue - unlike our cars you can buy fenders for Fox Mustangs all day and cheap, from dozens of vendors. If the paint on the car is as nice as it appears it wouldn't be hard to match, so you wouldn't even have to paint the whole thing.

I'd bet that SVO will end up being worth more than any Areo Bird or Coug in the future, too...

I dont see what the big issue with the fender is being I have only had it for less than a week :D Trust me, it will get fixed

Recently, I have really been wanting an SVO! This was a deal I could not pass up! The TurboCoupe may have looked nice, but I have a nicer TurboCoupe than that :D I wanted something new, and different.
It needs a little bit of work. The factory leather needs redone. It came with brand new headlights, new rotors in the back, and pads all around, New Koni red adjustables, all new belts and hoses, SALEEN sideskirts and rear bumper cover (that I was not fond of until I put the bullits on, so they may stay :D )and a completely new stock exhaust from downpipe to tips (that will get replaced when I get all the important stuff sorted out). The head was taken off and ported enough to put big valves in, and that is it. It also has 3.73 gears.
I would like to do allot of suspention work on it, 3" downpipe with 2.5" tailpipes, maybe a front mount, finish the port job perhaps, and put in a ranger cam. This will not happen anytime real soon, but when the car is repainted, I would really like it to pull out of the body shop with a fresh coat of white, and T-tops ;) I have soemthing for t-top cars, and I think this is the PERFECT candidate!!
Its purpose is not going to be to drag race, but handle pretty good, and just be a really fun daily driven street car. It is a solid SVO to start with, and the TurboCoupe staid local with soem good friends, so it will be WELL taken care of, and I will still ge tto see it when I want :D
Thanks for the comments guys, stay tuned for updates :D

btw, the wheels are not mine, I stole them off my buddies 07 just for the pics ;) Wheels have yet to be decided, maybe black 03 Cobras, or if the buddy ever gets new wheels for his 07, the ones in the pics will be mine for keeps free of charge ;)
