I lost the auction for the Civic 1500S I was bidding on… I actually went a few hundred higher than I wanted to and still lost… So…here’s the funny part: I think I want a Mustang. I’ve always been into imports, but the more I think about it, the more I think I’d love a 2.3 turbo. I’d been thinking about it for awhile, and then the SVO in Muscle Mustangs + Fast Fords keeps sticking in my head… so if anyone sees a cheap eighties Mustang (or even Capri) in any shape other than rusted out, let me know. I’m totally confident the Prizm is going to be reliable for the forseeable future, so I want to buy something fast. ---

Theres a big diff between the Thunderbird Turbocoupe/Mustang SVO 2.3L and the regular 2.3L motor ---
