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.

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo
Sun, 27 Apr 2014When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.
Ford's simple suit makes you feel like a drunk driver
Tue, Mar 25 2014We've all heard about the dangers of drunk driving for practically our entire lives. Whether it's from PSAs on TV or lectures in school, no one can claim ignorance of drunk driving being extremely dangerous. However, that doesn't prevent some people from still doing it. Ford is trying to take the safety message directly to young drivers with a special suit that allows them to simulate driving under the influence. It is all part of Ford's Driving Skills for Life program that gives free driving education to young people. The program is meant to "train kids in skills they don't learn in driver's ed," said Kelli Felker, Ford Safety Communications Manager, to Autoblog. The drivers don a few items to impair their senses and make them off-balance to simulate having a few too many drinks and then go out on a closed course with an instructor to see the effects. Felker said that the suit is a new part of the program, and Ford just received the outfit in the US. It will be incorporated into the training here in the late spring or early summer. Scroll down to see the effect it has on drivers in Europe. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
