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.

Here's a comprehensive list of what I've done to the car since I've owned it:

$70 for headlights (plus shipping)
$46 for detail supplies and fog light bulbs
$30 for rear sway bar links
$6 for Motorcraft oil cap
$185.94 for registration and title
$500 for brake hard lines lines running almost the entire length of vehicle
$600 for 4 BF Goodrich g-Force Sport tires, mounted, balanced, and aligned
$135 for A/C recharge
$31 for sway bar links
$223 for rear brake line and sway bar link install
$389 for brake lines from master to right front caliper
$117 to drill and tap drain plug in tranny case, fill trans
with Mercon ATF, change oil and filter.
$283 for Magnaflow high flow Y-pipe
$192 for Motorcraft plugs and wires
$48 for Motorcraft coolant temperature sensor and Airtex coolant temperature sender
$73.41 for rear rotors and pads
$148 to remove frozen rear right caliper, replace with a new one, and install rotor and pads
$36.67 for rear subframe bushings
$196.97 for oxygen sensors and Motorcraft front pads and rotors
$387.76 for 4 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports
$135 to mount and balance tires and to align car
$49 for Motorcraft cam position sensor
$50 to install cam position sensor
$6.73 for Ford subframe bolt
$531.25 for installation of Y-pipe, flex pipe, turbo mufflers, and stainless steel tips
$104.60 for inner and outer tie rod ends (both left and right sides)
$150 for inner and outer tie rod install
$220.34 for Bosch alternator

$80 for mounting and balancing.
$50 for power steering / water pump belt and A/C / alternator / crank belt
$135 for installation of both power steering / water pump belt, A/C, alternator, crank belt, and Bosch alternator.
$120.30 for 2 Monroe Sensatrac rear struts and 2 Mevotech rear strut mounts
$176 to install right rear Monroe Sensatrac rear strut and Mevotech strut mount
$169.69 to replace right rear caliper and bleed brakes
$100 to replace serpentine belt tensioner pulley
$15 for power antenna mast
$243.72 for cooling fan assembly, installation, installation of power antenna, and LOF.
$450 to replace power steering pump and power steering belt tensioner pulley
$483.82 for four Continental ExtremeContact DWS 225 55-16 tires installed at about 218,400 miles.
$60 to mount and balance Contis.
$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.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.

Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.

Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test

Wed, Sep 29 2021

The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.
