Here’s a clean green 1995 Ford Taurus SHO with just 86,750 total original miles. This is a rust-free car brought to Detroit earlier this year from Washington state. The underside of the the car is so clean you could eat off it. No salty winters and rotted out roads for this upcoming classic.

I bought the SHO from the original owner. There has never been any wrecks or accidents and the car is in terrific shape. There are a few minor dings and scratches, but no dents, no broken trim and no missing parts.

Since I bought the car, I took care of ALL age-related issues except one. The list of repairs is long and thorough. You will not find a cleaner, nicer first-gen SHO in this state.

These are the repairs since January

  • New BF Goodrich tires
  • Did the 1996-up front brake upgrade (bigger rotors/calipers)
  • Replaced the valve cover gaskets and cam seals
  • Replaced the oil sending unit and seals
  • Changed the transmission fluid and filter
  • Replaced the EGR valve, the DPFE and IAC sensors
  • Replaced radiator, hoses and water pump
  • New timing belt
  • New front shocks

All the parts that came off except the tires were original. The car had one old-man owner who used the car infrequently.
This SHO has the 3.2-liter Yamaha V6 with four-speed automatic. The car loaded and features:
  • Grey leather interior
  • Electric Sunroof
  • Power driver and passenger seats
  • AM/FM Cassette and CD player
  • Nice cold ice cold automatic air conditioning
  • Power windows and door locks
  • Automatic lights
  • Fog lights
The engine is buttery smooth and runs perfectly. The transmission shifts fine. The brakes are awesome, but the ABS is not working. It’s something minor. I believe something is unplugged. The ABS worked perfectly until the radiator was changed. I think something is not plugged in. But the brakes are not affected and work better than new, thanks to the 96 front disc upgrade.

There is not a burned out light bulb and everything else works as it should.

This is a great car with many tens of thousands of miles left in it. The original first gen Taurus SHO is fast becoming collectible, and you will look long and hard before you find one this clean and nice. This car has NEVER been smoked in. The car is ready to be driven anywhere.

For EV drivers, realities may dampen the electric elation

Mon, Feb 20 2023

The Atlantic, a decades-old monthly journal well-regarded for its intelligent essays on international news, American politics and cultural happenings, recently turned its attention to the car world. A piece that ran in The Atlantic in October examined the excesses of the GMC Hummer EV for compromising safety. And now in its latest edition, the magazine ran a compelling story about the challenges of driving an electric vehicle and how those experiences “mythologize the car as the great equalizer.” Titled “The Inconvenient Truth About Electric Vehicles,” the story addresses the economics of EVs, the stresses related to range anxiety, the social effects of owning an electric car — as in, affording one — and the overarching need for places to recharge that car. Basically, author Andrew Moseman says that EV life isn't so rosy: “On the eve of the long-promised electric-vehicle revolution, the myth is due for an update. Americans who take the plunge and buy their first EV will find a lot to love Â… they may also find that electric-vehicle ownership upends notions about driving, cost, and freedom, including how much car your money can buy. "No one spends an extra $5,000 to get a bigger gas tank in a Honda Civic, but with an EV, economic status is suddenly more connected to how much of the world you get to see — and how stressed out or annoyed youÂ’ll feel along the way.” Moseman charts how a basic Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck might start at $55,000, but an extended-range battery, which stretches the distance on a charge from 230 miles to 320, “raises the cost to at least $80,000. The trend holds true with all-electric brands such as Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid, and for many electric offerings from legacy automakers. The bigger battery option can add a four- or five-figure bump to an already accelerating sticker price.” As for the charging issue, the author details his anxiety driving a Telsa in Death Valley, with no charging stations in sight. “For those who never leave the comfort of the city, these concerns sound negligible," he says. "But so many of us want our cars to do everything, go everywhere, ferry us to the boundless life we imagine (or the one weÂ’re promised in car commercials),” he writes. His conclusions may raise some hackles among those of us who value automotive independence — not to mention fun — over practicalities.

Ford files trademark for 'EcoBeast' moniker

Mon, Dec 29 2014

Ford has done some performance stuff with its EcoBoost line of vehicles, most notably with its Focus and Fiesta ST, the new, turbocharged Mustang and the luke-warm Taurus SHO and F-150 Tremor, but it's kind of avoided going wholly bonkers. That could be set to change quite soon, judging by a trademark filing with Uncle Sam. Ford has registered the name EcoBeast with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, listing it as "automobiles and automobile engines," according to the team at Motorlix, which discovered the filing. As always, it bears mentioning that companies are constantly filing trademarks, even if a good or service never emerges with said name. We agree with Motorlix, though – it seems highly unlikely Ford is going to just let this name languish. What vehicle or engine will wear this new badge is the real question. We're leaning towards something F-150 related, based on our last round of spy photos of the new SVT Raptor, although it's impossible to say for certain what the Blue Oval has planned. Here's hoping we find out in just a few weeks when Ford brings basically all of its performance merchandise to the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Until then, let us know what you think Ford is planning with the EcoBeast.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
