Project4Gazm 85 SVO

This car was the first Mustang SVO I'd ever seen in person and later the first SVO I ever rode in and drove.  I first saw it in the Spring of 2002.  I rode in it a few weeks later and then I didn't see it for some time.  I kept track of the car though.  About 6 months later I saw it parked at the previous owners parents house.  I asked them what was up and they said it wasn't running right and I offered to check it out for them.  I figured out it had low compression in two cylinders and oil on the plugs.  I started searching for a reason and discovered a lack of ANY coolant in the radiator.  Apparently he had driven it about 30 miles with no coolant.  I offered to buy it at that time but he didn't want to sell it.  I kept in touch with his family to make sure if it ever came up for sale that I got first dibs on it.  On November 3rd, 2003 I got a call and he said he was in serious need of some cash and needed to sell it.  We settled on a price and I drug it home and Project4Gazm was born...
