    Nice find! Late Model Restoration has the tail light lenses for $89.95. The bi-plane spoiler is going to be hard to find. Maybe a good bodyshop can patch/repair it. The standard single level wings were a delete option on SVO's, one option you can consider.

    Did you get the original wheels with the Car?

    I didn' he's got them on his other SVO, and wanted another 200 bucks for them. so i like the 5 spokes anyways. maybe later i'll get the factorys but for now i'm quite alright with just havin a SVO lol. well next summer i'll be down in avondale (comming down in May) so some people can see this car in person!

    Plus i love the Bi Plane spoiler. i'm sure i'll come across one eventually lol

    Keep us posted on when you will be down, the Wild West Mustang Club has get togethers on the Westside, maybe you can meet the local SVO fans at one.

    The flush headlight covers suggest that the Car is an 85 1/2'. Only 439 units were produced, making it one of the rarest, and most desirable SVO's out there. You are wise to be sticking with the bi-plane spoiler.

    I had a Smoke (Paint code 1D) 86' SVO with the rear spoiler delete. It didn't really feel like a Mustang without a nice rumbly V-8, so I sold it, and bought my 88' GT. If I had known then, what I know now, I would have kept it. Live and learn, I guess.
