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!!

European car sales up 8% in February

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.

Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
