Up for sale is my 1990 Taurus SHO. I really hate to let this one go, but it's become my daily driver, and it deserves better than that.

The car is in very good over all condition, The paint still shines beautifully , with some minor rust issues (I'll cover this shortly).

This car has probably one of the nicest gen 1 mocha interiors left. The Passenger seat and rear seat look like they have never been sat in, and the drivers seat shows less than average wear for a 24 year old car. (minor split in seam on bolster.)

The carpets and headliner are in excellent shape and are clean, as is the rest of the interior. The sunroof shade has MINOR wear, these are usually destroyed.

There are a few rust issues to talk about. The black strips on the door moldings are shot. They have rusted and bubbled, and are rapidly getting worse. Some of the rust has spread to behind the moldings, and there is a small bubble on the drivers door. This could VERY easily be fixed. The rear quarters are beginning to show signs of rust as well, but it is easily stoppable at this point. The dog legs are in fair condition, with minor rust as well. The rockers are completely intact and solid. Don't let any of this scare you, this isn't a rot box like most of the remaining Gen 1 SHO's. I'm just trying to be as honest as possible, so there are no surprises upon pickup.

The car runs and drives excellent. It does not burn any oil, but has a minor oil leak coming from around the cam seal.

Everything works. A/C is cold, Heat is hot. Climate control has one cracked button (just happened), but is not destroyed like most hard button units. Currently has a Pioneer Double DIN touchscreen radio. Will also be getting a new windshield this weekend.

It has brand new Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires all around, on slicers in good shape. The Front brakes are new, as well as the sway bar bushings. Suspension is tight and quiet.

The clutch was replaced at 109,000 Miles, and i've had zero issues with it. Unfortunately, the car is still a cable shifter (I haven't had time to convert it to Rod Shift), and can occasionally be a little balky.

I'm not sure of the status of the 60k, but based on the overall condition of the car and how it was kept, I would be very surprised if it wasn't done on time.

Anyway, I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car cross country. It's been very reliable, and is still a blast to drive. There aren't many Gen 1's left on the road, and this one , with minor love would be a real gem.

I'll try to add more pictures tomorrow, weather permitting.

My reserve is set VERY low.

FCA to pay buyers $1,700 to swap out of scandal-mired VWs

Tue, Oct 6 2015

FCA is trying to gain some sales from arch-rival VW in the competitive European market by offering potential buyers in Italy up to $1,700 to swap into an FCA group car. While the promotion isn't specifically targeted at TDI owners affected by the emissions scandal, it is clearly intended to turn dissatisfaction with VW's defeat device cheat into additional sales, Bloomberg reports. The 500-1,500 euro incentive (roughly $560-1,700, depending on vehicle) stacks on top of any other rebates or deals applicable, and applies if a buyer brings in any of Volkswagen Group's cars – including Audi, Skoda, and SEAT, among (many) others. As Bloomberg notes, it's normal for automakers to offer "conquest" deals Â– giving a buyer cash for trading in a competitor's vehicle. Those deals aren't usually limited to one company's products, however; FCA's program looks specifically to take advantage of VW's legal and public relations nightmare. FCA isn't the only automaker trying this trick in Italy. Automotive News Europe also reported that Ford is offering approximately $840 in incentives across its entire range to owners of VW vehicles seeking to trade in for a Ford. No word of yet as to whether these incentives will spread beyond Italy or to other automakers.Related Video:

Ford trademarking 'Mach 1,' possibly for Mustang

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

A legendary name might be accompanying the redesigned, 2015 Mustang when it finally makes its world debut - Mach 1. Stumbled upon by the team at Ford Authority, the Mach 1 title was found in a trademark filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and would revive a name last used on the fourth-generation, 2003 Mustang.
While the the 2003 vintage was well and good, the Mach 1 is really remembered for a three-year run from 1969 to 1971 - it's best to just forget the emissions-choked 1972 to 1978 Mach 1s - when power output ranged from a modest 250 horsepower with the two-barrel, 351-cubic-inch Windsor V8 to "375 hp" (actual output was rumored to be well north of 400 horsepower) with the righteous, 429-cubic-inch Super Cobra Jet V8.
What does the title hold for the sixth-generation Mustang? It's tough to say. The fanatics at Ford Authority seem to think Mach 1 could take the place of the Shelby GT500 at the top of the Mustang hierarchy, which sounds like a valid argument. At the same time, we could see the SVT Cobra moniker returning for the flagship model, and the Mach 1 doing battle with the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (unless the Boss 302 were to return). Confounding things is the historical precedent - the Mach 1 was responsible for the death of the Mustang GT in 1969, so it might make sense as a volume performance model.

Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.
