Hey all what's up??
Well been having motor troubles did the oil pan gasket and when i had everything apart there was alot of play in everything.
Sort of told me what all the noise was from.
I was trying to find a turbo motor but nothing in this area or everything is far away and shipping is a killer but stumbled across this!!!!!

I have wanted one of these since i was 16 actuallly wanted the t-top but we all know how rare that one is.
But just wanted to know what you all thought I got to drive lik 300 miles one way on saturday but i think it will be worth it!!!!!

So i guess mine will have to be parked untill i figure what i'm going to do with it or just drive it till it stops!!!

Plus i figured it would be back up when mine dies!!!!
Probably baby this one!!!
So now i think i will keep mine n/a and mess with it and play with the svo.
Just wondering what the 84 turbo came with didn't have much of a description but had said the front seats were redone and etc.
Don't think i can really complain..

I know it's five lug and should have power all but wanted to know what rear, does it have rear disk.

Thanks Gawd can't wait till saturday Definitly will post pics wheni get it!!!

Yeah good luck with that one. A little TLC and it will be nice! Looks like you got a good price too.

I bought another car off this guy about 3 months ago. Nice guy but he will talk your ear off. Anyway that car is not worth what he is asking IMO. When I was down there it didn't have a battery and looked as though it had not been started in years. He's cleaned it a up a hair now from what I see in the pictures. If you could get him to drop it down about $400 I would do it, but as it sits....I wouldn't pay that much.

click on this http://www.svoca.com/mainframe.html and then go to SVO Facts and it will give you a lot of details on the '84.

good luck to you.

If that does not work out there is an 86 tc in the hagerstown md junkyard that you could swap in. last time i was up there (about a month ago) it was all still there less the pipe from the turbo to the throttlebody. turbo needed rebuilt and the upper engine had a small fire (will need injectors and all the wiring was burnt but youd be using your mustang stuff anyway). My friend got an engine from them a while back and i think they charged him 250 and they took it out. id pay 200 for it. the computer is still there too, i was gonna grab it to keep as a spare but didnt feel like digging it outta there.

I think its called Grimm's its out towards smithsburg. If you are heading east on I-70 and take the exit for smithsburg (rt 66) youll go about 10 miles, once you hit rt 64 you make a left and its only about 5 miles or so it will be on both sides of the road... the cars are on the left side and trucks are on the right, just park near the entrance someplace. (you can also come through hagerstown if you want but its a little easier to explain this way)

the Tbird is way in the back kinda on the right side... just walk around the building they have out front and keep going past the crusher and treeline, youll see all the ford stuff (lots of 80's mustangs) then just keep going towards the back i cant remember what was near it or anything, i think it was red and had an 87/88 style hood. Just take a closer look I could tell there was an obvious engine fire (only top end and looks like it only messed up some wires and fuel lines/injectors) and the turbo will definantally need a rebuild, dont think there was any turbine/housing contact but the bearings are most certainly gone.

Id get there fast if I were you, people seem to tear into the ford stuff there.
