1984 Ford Mustang SVO

Up for sale is my 1984 Mustang SVO. I purchased this carAugust 2022 from the third owner. It currently shows 61,736 on the odometer.After doing extensive research back to the original owner, it is believed to be161,736 actual miles on the car. I have information on the 3 previous ownersalong with notes taken while talking to the original owner who had the car from4/1985 to 9/2019. Lots of documents and parts. Some original and some new. Extraset of SVO wheels with no tires mounted. The car is reliable and a blast todrive. I’ve enjoyed driving it and restoring it back to as stock as possiblewith just a few upgrades. The original shifter, seat belts, console lid, shocksand headrests go with the car. The only rust I’ve found is at the lower rearquarter panels on both sides. The A/C blows cold. The power door locks do notwork.
