Up for sale is my 1990 Ford Taurus SHO. This car has the typical SHO interior wear issues but the body is almost perfect and the paint is still in great shape as well. I did a ton of work on this car and spent a ton of cash doing it. I had planned on it to be a vehicle for my wife but that all fell apart on me.

I am a disabled former certified master Ford Technician that developed a passion, and addiction to the first and second gen. SHO's. My wife traded her Bronco for this one and we had to drive a long distance out-of-state to pick it up. While driving from W. Virginia back to PA the car acted as if the clutch was going out. Once the car made it home I went all out...

The Good - Entire clutch kit replaced(clutch, pressure plate, and throughout bearing), new valve cover gaskets with new spark plug O-Rings, new front and rear main oil seals(I forgot the oil pan gasket, don't ask why my memory is useless), fresh oil change, fresh transmission fluid, fresh antifreeze, A/C system recharged with R134 and new A/C O-Rings. The car also got it's 90K service with the following - New timing belt, new platinum spark plugs, new plug wires, new coil pack, new ignition module, new crank position sensor, new cam position sensor, Valve Lash adjustment, new battery, new starter, and 4 new tires. I believe I have most if not all of the receipts for this work the starter and tires were not part of the 90K but I wanted the car to be perfect and safe for my wife to drive and after all this work, and probably more that I've just forgotten, that leads us to...

The Bad - When I dropped the sub-frame and removed the trans I found that not only was the clutch bad but the last "person", I'll be nice here, to replace the clutch left the fork pin out which led to a major failure when I pulled the car in the garage where I did all this work. I also have pictures of the process as it went along. So when I put it all back together and prepared for the test drive I did not have reverse. So we pushed the car out, after a ton of screaming words that I would never say under normal times, and I found out that I was also missing 3rd and 4th gears. So the car can be driven in 1st, 2nd, and 5th. While letting my buddy drive the car back home he was not able to drive the car well as he had promised. The car dove off the road and hit a large rock damaging the sub-frame and fuel line. I fixed the fuel line but went no further. Now enter the red 1989 SHO which I had for parts...

The trans and sub-frame are perfect in this car. The only reason it's a parts car is due to someone blowing out the rings and making the engine lose all compression in all six cylinders. some of the engine parts have been removed from the red car but you won't need the motor anyway. You will get both cars to make one good one and if you finish parting out the red 89 you will have no problems getting the money back that you paid for the 2 of them. The MTX trans is getting hard to find so even a bad one is worth big $$$. Not to mention interior parts, body trim, body parts, and the list goes on.

The 1990 is a beautiful car in good shape for it's age and has had a ton of mechanical work done on it. I no longer have a place to work on it and am left with nothing but a ton of sorrow and lost cash. I love SHO's and went above and beyond to make the car as perfect and safe as possible for my wife. When I found out the trans failed after all of that work, time, and money I was ruined. Having no place to attempt to finish what I started I now just want them to find a good home and somebody who enjoys them as much as I do to put that 1990 SHO back on the road.

You can contact me if you would like pictures and/or any information I may have missed or that you would like to know. My name is Paul and I know the car very well now. The engine and trans are clean enough to eat off of! This car is a beauty and I really want her to be on the road again. My numbers are - Cell -(717)925-4005 and Home - (717)584-5753 call the cell first I take it with me everywhere. Thanks for having a look and happy e-Baying!!

Ford adds third shift at F-150 plant to keep up with demand

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

The signs have been very positive for Ford's F-Series line of pickup trucks as of late, and after 24 consecutive months of increasing sales of the best-selling F-150, the automaker has added a third production crew at its Kansas City Assembly Plant that includes 900 new hourly workers to meet demand for the truck. This the first step in Ford's plan to add 2,000 hourly jobs at the plant to help meet demand for its trucks and to begin production of the new Transit van, the automaker says.
Despite some tough new competition, sales of the F-Series are the strongest they've been since 2006, according to Ford. The automaker sold 60,449 F-Series in July, the best sales figure for the mid-summer month since 2006, which also represents a 23 percent increase compared to July 2012. From January to July 2013, sales were up 22 percent compared to the same period last year.
Ford has committed to creating 12,000 hourly jobs by 2015, and with the 900 new employees added to the assembly plant in Missouri, the company says it has completed 75 percent of its goal. Ford has also invested $1.1 billion to retool and expand the Kansas City Assembly Plant to ready it for Transit production. Take a look at the press release below for more job and F-Series sales information.

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
