1986 Ford Mustang

The appearance of a Center High-Mounted Stoplight is the best way to discern an '85 from an '86 Mustang.

Carbureted Mustangs become a memory as sequential electronic fuel injection is introduced to the 5.0L H.O. V8. Nitrogen-charged gas struts and shocks, and heavier duty rear axle also debut on V8 models of the LX and GT.

The Mustang SVO era comes to an end, due in part to the 5.0L, which offers V8 performance at considerably less cost.

During its brief tenure, from 1984 through 1986, 9,844 Mustang SVOs are produced.
