Up for sale we have a 1993 Ford Taurus SHO with a 5-speed manual transmission. This is the third SHO I have owned, and the best one. The car goes like a scalded cat -- runs great, stops with authority, handles crisply, just plain does everything well. It also has four nearly brand new Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires on it. The car has been lovingly maintained throughout its entire life; I am the second owner. The original owner garaged the car and sold it to me in August of 2009 because she had two other vehicles and wanted it to go to a good home. I have always taken good car of the car -- it has never been beat on, always adult driven, and maintenance has been kept up on. I use only Motorcraft oil and filters, specifically synthetic blend 5W-30 oil and FL-400S filters, changed about every 3,000 miles. When parts have been replaced, I've also used Ford and Motorcraft wherever possible, and I always use super unleaded gasoline. The vehicle almost never sits in traffic -- the vast majority of the mileage I've covered has been out on the highway, where it gets fantastic fuel economy.

$120 to replace driver's rear Monroe Sensatrac rear strut, Mevotech strut mount, and sway bar end link.
While there is rust on the passenger's quarter panel, a spot on the trunk, and a spot on the driver's quarter panel, the car is very clean overall. It is sound underneath, the paint shines brightly, and the interior is beautiful. There is very little wear on the driver's seat, and essential no wear on the others. They have truly held up wonderfully. This is a fantastic car that runs beautifully -- it performs like a car with 80K miles. Of course, as with most used cars, the car is not perfect. The A/C does not work, for example (all other climate control functions are fine). But it is far nicer and runs far better than most I've come across of this vintage.
Parting with my beloved SHO is not easy. I have two other vehicles, and am trying to trim the fleet -- that is the only reason I'm selling. Otherwise I would keep the car and enjoy her for many more years and many more miles. There are no lights on the dash, no squeaks, rattles, or noises. The Carfax is clean, the title clear. By the way, the exhaust is awesome. It consists of a high flow Y-pipe from Magnaflow, and custom work from there back (a small section of the original exhaust was saved where it splits to go to the tailpipes), including two Dynomax three chambered mufflers with double walled Magnaflow tips. This system does not drone. It is quiet at idle and out on the highway, but has a mellifluous growl and smooth tone when you accelerate.
This is a solid, reliable SHO. She's ready to go -- all she needs now is a good home.
As you'd expect, the car is sold as is, with no warranty expressed or implied. I have title in hand for easy transfer to the new owner.
I have a Motorcraft A/C compressor, new in the box, as well as a Denso receiver / dryer assembly with piping that I will include if the Buy it Now is used.

All the details on Plug In 2014 electric vehicle conference you could ever want
Wed, Aug 6 2014One of the best parts of the Plug In 2014 Conference in San Jose, CA last week was getting to listen in on thoughts about the state of the plug-in vehicle industry from people who have been involved with it for ages. They bristle when you call them the "Old Guard" (learned that one the hard way), but these are the people who have been through a number of ups and downs with plug-in vehicles, so they've got what we call perspective. Their knowledge was on full display in the three plenary sessions, which the Plug In Conference organizers have given us permission to share with you. Each is at least 90 minutes long, so make sure to set some time aside to enjoy the discussions after you download them (any help with making them streamable would be appreciated). Follow us below to see what we've got to offer. Opening Plenary (audio link). "The Road Ahead – Delivering on a Vision for Sustainable Transportation." Moderated by Mark Duvall (director of energy utilization at EPRI, the Electric Power Research Institute, and a long-time EV advocate), this panel featured: Jack Broadbent, Executive Officer / APCO, Bay Area Air Quality Management District Pat Romano, President & Chief Executive Officer, ChargePoint, Inc. Aaron Johnson, Senior Director, Customer Programs, Pacific Gas and Electric Company Brendan Jones, Director, EV Sales Operations & Infrastructure Deployment, Nissan North America, Inc. David W. Cash, Commissioner, MassDEP Dan Sperling, Director, Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Davis Highlights: Educating drivers to "get over the gas station" is a key strategy, how Level 2 and DC Fast Charging are really "a new paradigm," that there have been well over 214,000 EVs sold in US as of July 2014 and where Nissan sees huge potential for more EV sales (Northeast US and medium-size cities like St. Louis and Pittsburgh). Wednesday Morning Plenary (audio link). "Getting to the Mass Market – A Discussion of Ideas for Widespread PEV Adoption." Moderated by John Gartner, research director for smart transportation at Navigant Research.
Matt Damon is Carroll Shelby, with Christian Bale in Ford vs. Ferrari film
Thu, Jun 21 2018Right after we reported that one of the Le Mans-winning Ford GT40s is coming up for auction, word got round that its story will now be turned into a Hollywood movie. There will be an as-yet-untitled major motion picture that tells the story of Ford battling Ferrari in the 1960s, culminating in the Ford GT40's dramatic 1-2-3 finish in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. The movie has lined up an all-star cast, with "Batman" and "American Psycho" actor Christian Bale tapped to play key GT40 developer, test driver and racer Ken Miles, and "Punisher" actor Jon Bernthal as Lee Iacocca. The plum role of Carroll Shelby is going to Matt Damon, last seen driving across the Red Planet in "The Martian" or down a flight of stairs in the "Bourne" film series. The film's director will be James Mangold, known from directing last year's "Logan." View 37 Photos Autoweek reports that the original screenplay was based on A.J. Baime's book " Go Like Hell," but there will be a different screenplay written from scratch. Originally, "Go Like Hell" was to be a different project starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Meanwhile, the book will reportedly be turned into a TV series produced by Peter Dinklage of "Game of Thrones." And meanwhile some more, there are also competing Enzo Ferrari biopics in the works starring Robert De Niro and another starring Hugh Jackman that will also surely touch on the rivalry with Ford. While there's no guarantee yet that the GT40 biopic will match Steve McQueen's "Le Mans," we're got high hopes. It's a great story worthy of all the attention it's getting.
