it is an 85 1/2 SVO mustang. It was Ford's cobra mustang (though never called a cobra) of the 80's. built to out handle most things on the street, and also out ran most things on the street. instead of having the car built around the usual 5.0 platform the mustangs were, SVO took the mustang and put a turbo charged version of the pinto engine (SOHC 2.3L) and put it into the mustang. resulting in great power. the SVO made 205 hp with 15 PSI of boost, and 248 ftlbs or torque. they also cam with KONI adjustables on all four corners. Also outfitted with 5 Lug Rear wheel disc brakes. the only other fox body mustang to come out with 5 lug RWD brakes were the 93 cobra R's. Ford ended up shutting down the SVO car making program at the end of 86 because even though they charged A LOT extra for an SVO they simply weren't making any money off of them. (with in a thousand of the break even point after 3 years)
