Ford Taurus Sho V8 on 2040-cars
Topeka, Kansas, United States
|
This car has had a lot of work done to it. When I bought the car it suffered the fate of most of the third gen SHO. It had spun the cam gear and bent the valves. When I purchased it I welded the cams and had the entire top end rebuilt. It has all new valves, valve guides, valves seals, headgaskets, headbolts, intake gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, oil pressure sending unit and serpentine belt. Within the last six months I have replaced all four tires, brakes front and back, the mass airflow sensor and the idle air control valve. I have had the cats hollowed out so the check engine light is on. I do have six extra coils for the car. The ones that are on it have been shorting out. I have been replacing them as they short. It has aftermarket 17" wheels. It has the original 5 disk cd changer. The person I bought it from had wedged cds inside and I never used it so I don't know if it works. The exterior is average for this old of a car. There are quite a few small scratches. There are a few spots of clear coat peeling and a few door dings. The interior is fairly nice the only issues are a crack in the driver seat and a cut in the passenger rear seat. The interior is all leather. There are some stains on the carpet that I never tried to get out. It has a working sunroof. The dashpad is also pulling up like all of the taurus dashes did. It is not perfect but it is not completely destroyed either. I have over $3500 in rebuilding the motor and putting brakes and tires on this car. It is rare to find one running. If you have any questions please message me. It is for sale locally also. If you are near Topeka, KS we can arrange a time for you to look at it. Buyer will have to arrange for shipping. It drives fine but will try to stall as the coils short. I just don't have the time to replace them.

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings
Mon, 29 Sep 2014While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.
2014 Ford F-150 Tremor adds some sport to shake things up
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Like most quakes, the 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor caught us by surprise. We weren't expecting Ford to offer up another version of its best-seller so soon before the truck's full redesign, but that's exactly what the company is doing.
While Ford calls the Tremor a "performance truck," the new pickup doesn't play on the same level as the SVT Raptor does on dirt, or even the long-gone SVT Lightning did on pavement. Think of it as a parts bin sport truck that probably does a better job looking the part than acting it. The Tremor utilizes the same twin-turbo, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 available across the F-150 lineup, producing 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, but matches it with a 4.10 rear axle - the shortest final drive ratio you can get in an F-150 - for the strongest possible acceleration.
The Tremor does do a decent job looking the part. Available only in short-wheelbase, regular cab configuration with your choice of two- or four-wheel drive, it struts around wearing the F-150's FX Appearance Package, flat black accents, 20-inch black wheels, HID headlights and a special exterior graphics package. The Tremor is the only regular cab F-150 with a flow-through center console, which means it also gets a floor-mounted shifter and bucket seats that are covered in black leather with red piping. Some brushed metal accents and steering wheel with red stitching round out the interior upgrades.
