[Mark IV]

I had the privilege of knowing Bob Negstad and had a couple of interesting conversations with him. When I met him he was with SVO and had designed a bolt-in IRS system for the proposed SVO Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. My introduction to Bob was with Brian Angliss of Autokraft.

Bob had an AC MK IV a little later as well as Mike Kranefuss head of SVO with engines built by Jack Roush (way before his crate engines) Bob told me if he, Mike and Jack all dropped the clutch on their MK IVs at the same time, the Earth's rotation would change!

Bob had a Fairmont boxtop that was full SVO underneath with a lot of trick pieces from Ford suppliers. Looked like Grandma's car and went like stink and handled fantastic.
