York, Pennsylvania, United States

For sale is my 1985.5 Mustang SVO.  Only 439 of these were made, making it one the rarest and most sought after Mustang's ever.  This is a one owner and only has 10,791 original miles, possibly one of the lowest original mile cars in existence & still has its original paint (2A medium in canyon red), the original Goodyear VR50 Gatorbacks (29 years old), original dual exhaust & its original 1985 date-coded spark plug wires.  The only thing known to be replaced was the battery!!  The original gas shocks are still on the rear hatch but are worn out.

This car comes with tons of dealer & Ford factory documentation, the bill of sale, original manuals, 3 shop repair manuals (not pictured), warranty card keys from Ford, a key chain from the dealer, a certificate of origin.  Also included is the very rare SVO insert that you had to ask to get and the 85 and 85.5 dealer sales brochure, etc. 

The car was undercoated, rust proofed and had paint sealant done by the dealer (see the original invoice attached).

All SVO's made after April of 85 became an 85.5. This car was built in June, as is why it is an 85.5.  Also known as the best handling Mustang EVER!!!

The car has:

  • 2.3 intercooled turbo 4 cylinder
  • horsepower is 205 @ 5000 RPM
  • Hurst shifter
  • Borg Warner T-5 transmission
  • 4-wheel disc brakes
  • Koni  struts & shocks

  • function hood scoop (forces air through intercooler)
  • tinted glass
  • stereo cassette
  • premium sound light group
  • power window & locks
  • air conditioning
  • rear window defroster
  • fog lamps

This is a remarkable car & in excellent shape.  It runs great, handles super well...and remember is also only has 10,791 ORIGINAL MILES!  New car smell comes with the interior, it's like you're going back in time and buying a NEW SVO MUSTANG!

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"

Ford is building this sweet back-to-basics SUV in Brazil

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

We're use to forbidden fruit teasing us in Europe. Hatchbacks and diesels from Renault, Citroën, Peugeot, Skoda, SEAT and Alfa Romeo have been a regular torment that we've grown accustomed to over the years. This vehicle, though, is one piece of forbidden fruit we aren't entirely sure we can get over. We need it.
It's called the Ford Troller T4, and if you accidentally read that as either "reborn Ford Bronco" or "Americanized Land Rover Defender," we wouldn't be rushing to correct you. It's a basic, badass SUV, and is the first new vehicle to come from Troller since Ford gobbled it up in 2007. For those with longer memories, you'll recognize this vehicle from the concept that preceded it, the Ford T-R Concept. The production model remains remarkably true to the T-R, as well as past Trollers, but it's a slightly more modern look overall, with LED taillights, contrasting colors
You'll have to bear with us on the details, as we've been forced to rely on the notoriously literal Google Translate to convert the original Portuguese into English, which means some of the details were lost along the way.
