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

$600 for 4 BF Goodrich g-Force Sport tires, mounted, balanced, and aligned

$48 for Motorcraft coolant temperature sensor and Airtex coolant temperature sender
$73.41 for rear rotors and pads

$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.

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.
2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.
Ford's Troller introduces even more rugged T4 SUVs in Sao Paulo
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Bronco may be long gone from Ford dealerships back home, but down in Brazil its spirit lives on in the Troller brand. Founded independently in 1995, Ford do Brasil took over Troller in 2007 and has been teasing us with its rough-and-tumble SUVs ever since. So with the Sao Paulo Motor Show coming up, Troller has revealed this special version of the T4.
Looking even more rugged than the existing three-door sport-ute, this special T4 packs a snorkel, winch, upgraded bumpers and knobbier tires. We're not sure what to make of the "sophisticated" brown and tan paint job, but send it north and the Jeep Wrangler would have a new challenger on its hands... especially since the Toyota FJ Cruiser was discontinued.
Alongside the version seen here, Troller will also exhibit another T4 outfitted for rescue workers. Scope out initial details of both in the press release below, enclosed in both its original Portuguese and auto-translated into English.
