Up for sale is my 1991 Taurus SHO Plus, with just under 89,000 documented miles. That's right, this is a 5 digit odometer that has NOT rolled over.
To many SHO enthusiasts, the Gen 1 SHOs are the most desirable due to their tidier exterior dimensions, lower weight and more performance-oriented suspension setup. Additionally, the Plus Package (a 1991-only option) is the most desirable of the Gen 1s. This car is a true Plus Package, estimated to be 1 of 900 made, in 1991 only.
This car was formerly owned by the Editor in Chief of Autoblog.com, and has been featured on their site:
So why am I selling? This is my weekend fun car. I am a SHO enthusiast and have wanted a Gen 1 Plus since they were new, but I was never able to locate a car. The stars aligned when the previous owner (an auto journalist friend of mine) bought this car from another enthusiast. I then bought the car from him. I have truly enjoyed the car, but it's time to downsize to two daily drivers, and I refuse to press this car into daily driver service. Hence it's time for her to go to a new owner.
Here is some documentation on what constitutes a Plus Package SHO:
The car has all the Plus Package elements: Rear spoiler, fiberglass hood (in excellent condition with original decals and hood pad), blackout window surrounds, and blackout mirrors. The car is Jewel Green, a unique color ONLY available on the Plus Package. As far as Gen 1 SHOs go, this is as rare as it gets. You won't see yourself coming or going in this car.
Overall condition is truly excellent as Gen 1 SHOs go. I firmly believe this is one of the nicest Gen 1s for sale anywhere, and THE nicest 1991 Plus for sale anywhere. The car is turn-key, and is in drive-it-anywhere condition. There is no accident damage, and absolutely ZERO rust ANYWHERE. The car gets stored in the winters and is never driven in the rain. The shift knob is new, and is a NOS replacement. It even has a recent oil change. The HVAC control (typically worn and cracked) has been replaced with a spanking new unit and is literally in new condition. The original JBL Audio system was non-functional due to a dead CD player. I replaced the components with a Gen 2 JBL Audio system. The original stereo is included for the next owner. I am also including a painted police grill (very hard to find and currently installed on the car) as well as the original stock grill.
Issues? A few - the car is over 20 years old. That said, they are minor. The A/C is dead (I believe it needs new A/C lines and a recharge), and there are a few small spots of clearcoat fade on the roof that is just starting (common to all first gen clearcoated Taurus models). The sunroof shade is bubbled and flaking. There is a *very* minor driver's side transmission seal leak (a drop or two every two weeks on my garage floor), and will need to be addressed at some point. Aside from those very minor issues, the car is otherwise pristine and needs no large-dollar repairs.
I have full maintenance records (including a clutch job, new struts, subframe mounts, and a full 60K at a well known SHO repair shop, oil changes, recent alignment), and a large amount of OEM spares (ask for details). The car also comes with a full press kit from the 2010 SHO reintroduction at the Chicago Auto Show, including a T shirt, and a die cast Taurus SHO in its original packaging.
I am also including a complete set of OEM Ford shop manuals with the car as well.
SHOs have a special place in my heart, and 1991 Plus models especially. The first and second generation SHOs are historically significant and I believe the first gen cars may be collectible. I want this car to go to an enthusiast who will care for it and treat it with the respect that I and it's previous owners have given it.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost
Fri, 16 May 2014Earlier this week, Ford invited us to Charlotte, NC, to ride in an all-new 2015 Mustang fitted with its turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. It's the first forced-induction, four-cylinder ponycar for the Blue Oval since the sun set on the 1986 Mustang SVO. We jumped at the opportunity, as only a handful of people have ever been in the passenger seat of this new car, and most automotive media won't get as close as we did until this fall.
As we revealed in our Deep Dive, Ford will slot this new turbocharged four as premium powerplant between its naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 and the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. At last mention, the automaker said the direct-injected, all-aluminum engine will develop 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, returning the best fuel economy of the three powerplants in the process. History buffs will note that those figures are appreciably stouter than the 200 horses and 240 lb-ft that the '86 SVO realized out of the same displacement, and the latter's figures were hugely impressive at the time. On paper, the new EcoBoost four looks to be a good fit for most owners who want to balance performance with efficiency - we were eager to see how it felt from the passenger seat.
