    seen this at the junk yard today. across the windshield it says "86 SHO"

    under the hood it has a inline 4 with a turbo bolted up to the exhaust manifold. it also has 4 wheel disc brakes. alot of the interior and most of he exterior is goen but i would have to say this was probably the treasure of the day.

    im probably going back tomorrow for a set of heads. anyone need anything?

    Don't think it's a Capri no fender buldges.Notice how the quarters and fenders are a little wider on a Capri

    Most likely one of these SVO turbo 4 Mustangs

    it could be an SVO or just a turbo mustang. I'd get the engine if I were you.

    1976 maverick soon to be 460 powered...project on hold.
    It is an SVO. If you look closely, you'll notice it has 4 wheel disk brakes, and 5 lug rotors. 1986 was the last production year for the SVO.

    yea, i guess i just thought it was a capri since the rear seemed alot more rounded then but it may hav just been an optical illusion since the tail lights and other pieces were stripped
