I have owned my SVO since 1989 when it had 29K miles. I have always kept it garaged and never abused the SVO or drove it in bad weather.  This SVO is tight, has good power, handles well and looks great. 
Here's a detailed list of pros and cons: 
 
PROS
Excellent mechanical condition, body and interior
Never hit - all original sheetmetal and glass
Everything works except a/c - It is complete but needs to be serviced
Car was fully repainted in 1998 and paint is still excellent. No door dings or dents
I replaced the valve stem seals in the past 2-3K miles. Burns no oil-excellent compression
I remoted the TFI module from distributor to fender apron
Original seats were replaced by me with a set I purchased from a low mileage totalled SVO
I replaced the interior carpet and still have replacement hatch area carpet in box
New SSBC rotors, pads and rebuilt calipers all around
New Kumho tires
Clutch was replaced at 29K and still works perfectly - I have always babied this car
Original rag joint replaced with Flaming River steering shaft
OEM replacement rear exhaust pipe. Current exhaust is fine but twin chrome tips are rusting
Retained original parts I replaced such as temp control module, original Marchal fog lights, front parking light bezels and rag joint
Numerous spare parts included e.g. spare TFI module & wrench, plugs, cap/rotor, oil
New Marchal fog lights with two sets of covers
I have service and inspection paperwork dating back to 1988
Has factory sunroof, PW, PDL, premium sound system
CONS
A/C is complete but needs to be serviced
Small scuff marks on corners of passenger side bumpers front and rear (pulling in and out of garage) - if you look closely at photos you can see the marks

A few small paint chips on nose
Car has 1986 lower wing (working third brake light) replaced by previous owner
Headliner is not torn but is wrinkled over rear seats and needs to be reattached

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.
