Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General When will the CSVT stop loseing value?

While I do not own a Contour yet, I have been talking to my friends. When I mention the SVT they say "What's that? You should look for, what's it called." "A SHO?" I finish for them. "Yeah that's it, those are really nice."

Totally clueless about the CSVT, but still I get a chuckle about it.

Lots of people lusted over the 271 hp 289 Mustangs when they were new, and they were damn rare compared to all the
200 hp deuce and 225 hp quad 289 Mustangs. Years later, when having all original equipment on a desirable car became a big deal, knowledgable people were in absolute lust for one. While many are now getting good results with various configurations of the 3L duratec, the present interest in SVT cams and intakes implies these cars will be appreciated by enthusiasts for years. The biggest flaw for these cars for future collectibility is that the population at large does not know they exist: lots of gearheads knew of the hiper 289s; few do of our 195/200 hp NA 2.5Ls.
