"In September of 1980 Ford announced formation of Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) under Michael Kranefuss, who was the competition director for Ford Europe. The thought was to create a series of limited production performance cars promoted through motorsports. "

Currently known as SVT.

SVO = Special Vehicles Operations

SVE = Special Vehicles Engineering

SVT = Special Vehicles Team

Not completely clear to me why they keep revising the name - they basically have been doing about the same thing for the last ten years - designing, engineering, and releasing limited production runs of high-performance Fords.

Some pretty neat cars and trucks.

Thanks Jeff.
I don't know why either but I had been seeing those abreviations and didn't know what they stood for.
Appreciate the info!
