Hmmmm....seeing that makes me question the authenticity of the package. Your "SVO" intake is actually a Cobra piece and not the "GT-40" intake that was said to come in the package. I'm also seeing Stage-8 locking header bolts, which weren't around when this package came out. Something tells me that these were bolt on's added after the fact to a stock 5.0L GT?
I suppose it is certainly possible. However the article I sighted and the PDFs I have clearly state that it is an "SVO GT-40" package that can be added to a GT or a Cobra. I also hear you on the stge 8 locking header bolts.
There are a couple of possibilites that come to mind:
1. My car could be an actual SVO car with some unexplainable issues (bolts) that have been added over the past 18 years.
2. My car could be someone's attempt to copy the SVO package.
The things that most excite me are the following:
1. The Mustang GT SVO GT-40 package is not a myth (the documentation and article prove it).
2. My car has some quality mods on it that are all Ford parts.
What sayist you?
Yes, a dealer seems to be a good idea. I wonder if just tracing the vin will work? As far as me finding out for sure, I'm not going crazy about it. When I pull the thing apart to replace the lifters in a few weeks i'll check the heads out for sure. If they are y303s then i'll be pretty certain that its an SVO package. If they are not then I won't be upset. They are still quality upgrades.I sayist you should take a run down to your local dealer and confirm your suspicions for sure. You should have no issue find a record of specifics of the car and what factory packages were added to it based on the VIN#.
IMO, this is the only real way to tell for sure.
But yes...your car does have some quality components regardless.
Hello Superstang11,The strut tower brace is part of the gt40 kit to clear the big manifold *** sorry for typos. Stupid autocorrect lol
Working on restoring car currently. Thanks side tracked by a boat project.
The car wouldn't idle when I got it or pass smog. I went through everything with a full tune up and msd. Idles fine but a bit rough. Nothing that makes it feel like it will die but it's a bit rough.
I just finished up the front suspension with a few complimentary pieces to the koni struts and eibach. It's ready for alignment and some enjoying.
I had a hard time finding a smog place to accept the carb eo number for the gt40 package. They all didn't know what it was. I finally found a place that looked it up online and found it. He slogged the car and it passed no problem within the limits.
The car his flow masters and mac catted h pipe. These pieces looked like they were installed by amateurs. Besides that everything else looked pretty legit.
The stickers on the car and license plate matching interest me in trying to find out the true history of this car.
Anyone know where I can get the original Window sticker? I tried ford and online but no luck. Thanks.
Message me if you wanna exchange contacts and see what more we can find out.

Superstang, the dealer optioned Mustangs with the GT-40 package (stage 1) were sold for an additional $2999 above the regular price. You can just look up the original price of your car and add the $2999 to it in order to satisfy curiosity.Nice pics. My car was pretty much stock nothing was touched besides the exhaust it looked like. Car just sat for awhile. Plus they changed the radio at one point which I upgraded to a new pioneer flip out with camera and all the other goodies.
The reason I'm looking for the window sticker is that I want to know if the 'story" that is wrote above is true and that this was the promotional vehicle for the gt40 package. The storybook that the car was purchased as is and built by svo to promote the package and what you can do to your GT. The car has badges and a matching license plate that was original with the car SVOGT40.
I know I have the gt40 package that's a given. I'd like to know if the car was really the promo vehicle.
My car came with the California carb eo number pdf and hard copy which I used to legally pass smog with it as is.
Anybody know where to go to find out what the car was originally sold for and what it had on it? Thanks guys.
Nice! I love white GTs. The badge on the trunk looks tight!I posted badges in post above
