slow98,
Honestly, there were almost 30,000 Intercooled Turbo Buicks made from 1986-87. I could give exact production #'s but that's not necessary. I don't think there were close to that many 4 cylinder turbo SVO's made, but I could be wrong. Again, I'm not a Ford guy. I'm sure the production figures are available somewhere on the web.
The hood/front end can be fairly easily interchanged, spoilers can be added and the sound lends more credence as to it's power plant.
What I'm curious about is evidence you have other than cosmetic that it was a real SVO. Did you take a peek at the engine? Don't be offended but it's just the cop side in me coming out. I'm not discrediting the car whatsoever. On the contrary, if it is what it is that's one hel| of an accomplishment and it deserves acclaim.
