My boyfriend recently purchased a very shabby 1984 Mustang SVO. The next day he experienced buyer’s remorse. He also explained that technical information for SVO Mustangs are hard to come buy. On a very hopeful whim, I purchased this book and gave to him as a gift. I had my doubts since there was not much SVO information I found in this book. Two days later, he told me he stayed up to read part of this book for an hour and a half and just had RAVE reviews for the information this book was giving him. He was so happy, this book went into great detail for the shock towers-which he all ready knew, the steering-which he was greatful for, and the extra-helpful aftermarket companies information to help people-like him, trying to restore (PROPERLY) a classic and rare Mustang.
Of course, now he spends all his time reading this book and working on the SVO, I really wish he had bought a Mopar so he wouldn’t have to work on his car so much (lol).
