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!!

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values
Tue, 18 Mar 2014We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
Hertz Penske GT latest hot Ford Mustang at the rental counter
Tue, 09 Jul 2013Just a couple days after announcing the resurrection of its Rent-A-Racer program, Hertz has revealed a new car being added to its Adrenalin Collection of rental cars.

Visually, the Hertz Penske GT starts out with a black and yellow paint and graphics scheme as well as identifying badges, and Hertz has raided the Mustang parts bin for bits and bobs like a Boss 302 front splitter and Shelby GT500 rear valence to give the coupe its own unique look. The model has also receives performance improvements including upgraded suspension and exhaust, Brembo brakes, a retuned ECU and Recaro bucket seats. As a bonus, Penske Racing's Nationwide Series No. 22 Ford Mustang has been painted to match the new Hertz Penske GT. Other cars in the Hertz Adrenaline Collection include the standard version of the Ford Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Chevrolet Corvette convertible and Dodge Challenger R/T.
