I went to look at a car listed as a '99 SVT w/DOHC and manual trans. Got there, and it was a V6 under the hood, but it did have SVT badges. I bought it anyway cuz the price seemed fair. Did I make the right choice?

ugh, read that as 'but it didN'T have the SVT badges'
looks good! looks like the rear springs collapsed from that abgle though.
what interior/options? considering a 3.0 swap for a bit more torque?

All the normal SVT stuff. DOHC 2.5L, five speed, power everything, sunroof....
No mods planned at all. Goal is to keep it running, reliable and easy on gas. If anything, I'll spend a little here and there fixing the little things like cracked trim etc....Or free mods like shaving the side bumpers from the doors.
If I was gonna mod it, it would be caged, coil overs, brakes, sticky tires, wing and splitter.
