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.

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
