The Ford Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) group was started on the 1980 Mustangs to to help interested race car drivers build up competition versions of the Mustang, create a kits of bolt-on parts that could be purchased by average Mustang owners to modify their street cars, and create a series of specialty GT racing cars. This was the first car to do the later. This car came with an air-to-air intercooled, turbocharged, 175hp (at 4400rpm), 2.3 liter, electronic fuel injected, inline 4-cylinder.

This view shows the polycarbonate, dual-wing rear spoiler. The base price was double that of the base Mustang four-cylinder and only offered in a hatchback in Black, Silver, Dark Charcoal, or Red.

Standard SVO interior included a 8000rpm tachometer, quick-ratio power steering, leather wrapped steering wheel, and a special SVO instrumentation panel.

The air-to-air intercooled, turbocharged 2.3 liter, electronic fuel injected, inline 4-cylinder. This engine has a replaced turbocharger, and full 3 inch exhaust.

Black 1984 Mustang GT hatchback owned by Brent Mayes from Kentucky. Brent tells us,
"I bought this car as a roller and building it. This car has all options for the year including A/C, tilt wheel, cruise control, etc. This is factory paint but pretty rough. Its getting painted back black again soon."

The hood is off. Time for some engine work.

It has a 306ci engine and a manual transmission. Looks like Brent's been working hard on the engine.

The interior is gray. It has lots of extra gauges.

Check out this 1984 Mustang SVO hatchback owned by Aaron from Brush Prairie, Washington. It is painted Ferrari Silverstone. Aaron tells us more,
"This SVO was sitting for 18 years and passed down to me at the age of 18. I did a complete restoration. It was given to me with
the V8 because the 2.3L Turbo had many problems. The rear end is rebuilt being a 8.8 inch with 3.73 gearing. The wheels are also stock."

Aaron says,
"The 302 is from a 1971 Ford Torino GT. Serpentine belt set up from later fox body; 600 cfm carb, AC, 3G alternator, and power steering."

Aaron tells us,
"The interior was a mess. I swapped the carpet, headliner, steering wheel, and removed every other piece to clean and repaint. The SVO came with Recaro racing seats as stock."
