Short version of my Fox Mustang daliance.
In '84 I was intrigued by the SVO Mustang. Zooty body mods, intercooled turbo, race car like seats, yada yada....
Figured the biggest Ford dealer in the area would be the first to get one, so I drove down there. This dealership was one of those high pressure, T.O. kind of places that moved a lot of hardware. The salesmen were on an "Up system" where they each had a turn at the next suc.., uh, prospect that rolled on the lot. They stood in a group about 20 feet in from the driveway ramp. Oh lucky me, I got a guy I call "Big Tex". About 6' 2", gee haw boots, shiny belt buckle as big as a billboard, and a 12 (10 must not have been good enough for him) gallon hat.........for his 2 quart head.

After all the back slappin' intro was done I tell him I want to test drive the SVO Mustang. He seemed confused by that nomenclature, so I pointed to the one I'd spotted. He gets the key and off we go. I knew we were in for some fun when he started his pitch with....."ya know, this here is a SPECIAL EDITION just for the Northwest"...........

So I gave him a SPECIAL experience...........
