 Up for sale is my 1990 Taurus SHO. I really hate to let this one go, but it's become my daily driver, and it deserves better than that.

The car is in very good over all condition, The paint still shines beautifully , with some minor rust issues (I'll cover this shortly).

This car has  probably one of the nicest gen 1 mocha interiors left. The Passenger seat and rear seat look like they have never been sat in, and the drivers seat shows less than average wear for a 24 year old car. (minor split in seam on bolster.)

The carpets and headliner are in excellent shape and are clean, as is the rest of the interior. The sunroof shade has MINOR wear, these are usually destroyed.

There are a few rust issues to talk about. The black strips on the door moldings are shot. They have rusted and bubbled, and are rapidly getting worse. Some of the rust has spread to behind the moldings, and there is a small bubble on the drivers door. This could VERY easily be fixed. The rear quarters are beginning to show signs of rust as well, but it is easily stoppable at this point. The dog legs are in fair condition, with minor rust as well. The rockers are completely intact and solid.  Don't let any of this scare you, this isn't a rot box like most of the remaining Gen 1 SHO's. I'm just trying to be as honest as possible, so there are no surprises upon pickup.

The car runs and drives excellent. It does not burn any oil, but has a minor oil leak coming from around the cam seal.

Everything works. A/C is cold, Heat is hot. Climate control has one cracked button (just happened), but is not destroyed like most hard button units. Currently has a Pioneer Double DIN touchscreen radio. Will also be getting a new windshield this weekend.

 It has brand new Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires all around, on slicers in good shape. The Front brakes are new, as well as the sway bar bushings. Suspension is tight and quiet.

The clutch was replaced at 109,000 Miles, and i've had zero issues with it. Unfortunately, the car is still a cable shifter (I haven't had time to convert it to Rod Shift), and can occasionally be a little balky.

I'm not sure of the status of the 60k, but based on the overall condition of the car and how it was kept, I would be very surprised if it wasn't done on time.

Anyway, I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car cross country. It's been very reliable, and is still a blast to drive. There aren't many Gen 1's left on the road, and this one , with minor love would be a real gem.

I'll try to add more pictures tomorrow, weather permitting.

My reserve is set VERY low.

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.

William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88

Sun, 09 Mar 2014

William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."
