Up for sale is my 1990 Ford Taurus SHO. This car has the typical SHO interior wear issues but the body is almost perfect and the paint is still in great shape as well. I did a ton of work on this car and spent a ton of cash doing it. I had planned on it to be a vehicle for my wife but that all fell apart on me.
I am a disabled former certified master Ford Technician that developed a passion, and addiction to the first and second gen. SHO's. My wife traded her Bronco for this one and we had to drive a long distance out-of-state to pick it up. While driving from W. Virginia back to PA the car acted as if the clutch was going out. Once the car made it home I went all out...
The Good - Entire clutch kit replaced(clutch, pressure plate, and throughout bearing), new valve cover gaskets with new spark plug O-Rings, new front and rear main oil seals(I forgot the oil pan gasket, don't ask why my memory is useless), fresh oil change, fresh transmission fluid, fresh antifreeze, A/C system recharged with R134 and new A/C O-Rings. The car also got it's 90K service with the following - New timing belt, new platinum spark plugs, new plug wires, new coil pack, new ignition module, new crank position sensor, new cam position sensor, Valve Lash adjustment, new battery, new starter, and 4 new tires. I believe I have most if not all of the receipts for this work the starter and tires were not part of the 90K but I wanted the car to be perfect and safe for my wife to drive and after all this work, and probably more that I've just forgotten, that leads us to...
The Bad - When I dropped the sub-frame and removed the trans I found that not only was the clutch bad but the last "person", I'll be nice here, to replace the clutch left the fork pin out which led to a major failure when I pulled the car in the garage where I did all this work. I also have pictures of the process as it went along. So when I put it all back together and prepared for the test drive I did not have reverse. So we pushed the car out, after a ton of screaming words that I would never say under normal times, and I found out that I was also missing 3rd and 4th gears. So the car can be driven in 1st, 2nd, and 5th. While letting my buddy drive the car back home he was not able to drive the car well as he had promised. The car dove off the road and hit a large rock damaging the sub-frame and fuel line. I fixed the fuel line but went no further. Now enter the red 1989 SHO which I had for parts...
The trans and sub-frame are perfect in this car. The only reason it's a parts car is due to someone blowing out the rings and making the engine lose all compression in all six cylinders. some of the engine parts have been removed from the red car but you won't need the motor anyway. You will get both cars to make one good one and if you finish parting out the red 89 you will have no problems getting the money back that you paid for the 2 of them. The MTX trans is getting hard to find so even a bad one is worth big $$$. Not to mention interior parts, body trim, body parts, and the list goes on.
The 1990 is a beautiful car in good shape for it's age and has had a ton of mechanical work done on it. I no longer have a place to work on it and am left with nothing but a ton of sorrow and lost cash. I love SHO's and went above and beyond to make the car as perfect and safe as possible for my wife. When I found out the trans failed after all of that work, time, and money I was ruined. Having no place to attempt to finish what I started I now just want them to find a good home and somebody who enjoys them as much as I do to put that 1990 SHO back on the road.
You can contact me if you would like pictures and/or any information I may have missed or that you would like to know. My name is Paul and I know the car very well now. The engine and trans are clean enough to eat off of! This car is a beauty and I really want her to be on the road again. My numbers are - Cell -(717)925-4005 and Home - (717)584-5753 call the cell first I take it with me everywhere. Thanks for having a look and happy e-Baying!!

Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected
Thu, 29 May 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
