fake! wrong wheels. svo are 5 lug. that cars has 91-93 pony's on it they are 4 lug. the interior is wrong. the svo had recaros. probably just a svo front and ground effects kit bolted to a 87-93 vert. oh and there were no 86.5. there were 85.5 comp prep svos
Ha Ha, thats so pathetic, someone is gonna ****** it up for like 35k dollars too because they think its real.

To the younger crowd, this just shows you... research before you buy. I even ran the VIN on my 35th before I bought it even though everything was as it was supposed to be, you never know! Turned out fine and I bought it.
People are sneaky and deceitful and will do anything to make a buck, especially for first time buyers.

Hey Paul, i remember awhile back you posted a wide body svo. I was wondering if you could post those pictures again. I loved that car (looks wise) and how is the 89 police car coming?

That's the Evolution SVO....see pic attached.
I was tied up on an '01 Cobra Convertible repair for the past month so the Police car is just now again getting some attention. I have it tagged and driving it...just doing little things to it right now like fixing the A/C and other minor things.

The paint scheme was designed to get attention and "pop" for the camera...grey would not have achieved that. The paint scheme is based after the old Motorcraft Trans Am Mustang....

It made 386HP to the rear wheels. It is our shop car.....I still have work to do to it to get it up to 100% but just haven't had time. I really need to get on the stick with it because I need to take it to Kentucky again this October....

Keep me updated on the progress. I have a soft spot for the SVO's I can't wait to see it completely finished, its like waiting for Christmas
