NO RESERVE!!!! NO
RESERVE!!! High Bidder Wins!! 1993 Super High Output (SHO) Taurus 5 Speed Manuel 220 HP Over 140mph top speed ! Yamaha High Performance Motor Low Miles Runs and Drives Perfect!! Here is what MotorTrend
magazine said after a two year review of this year model Taurus SHO: “1993 Ford Taurus SHO By B.J. Killeen | From the March 1995 issue of Motor
Trend Judging by the write-in comments on the
survey (and there were plenty), what everyone liked best about the SHO was,
obviously, performance. It was the primary purchase influence at 92.8 percent,
followed in order by handling, looks/style, and safety features. The output
from the Yamaha engine is more than half again as much as from the 3.8-liter
six-cylinder in the regular Taurus: 220 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 215
pound-feet of torque at 4800. A 7.5-second 0-60 time and a 15.4-second/88.9-mph
quarter-mile run backed up its performance claims-so much so that many owners
rambled on about how much better they liked the SHO over more-expensive
hardware like BMWs, Mercedeses, and other European sport sedans. "I had a BMW
before this car," wrote one happy owner. "I never thought I'd ever
like to drive something as much as that BMW. The SHO is every bit as nice. I
like a fast car and a family car; the SHO is it!"
The Yamaha-built 3.2 liter DOHC V-6
produces 220 horsepower and 215 pound-feet of torque. Engineering
wizardry-including dual intake runners, one for low engine speeds and one for
high-helps deliver the SHO's quick 7.5-second 0-60 time and nice torque band I moved to Texas in 2008
and decided to get my car dealer license because I love to buy and sell cars
and motorcycles. It has always been more
of a hobby than a business (thank god, or I would starve) I
found this San Antonio and purchased it from an insurance company. It had
damage to the right front Fender and grill. I replaced the front bumper, grill
and right front fender. When I bought
this car I had every intention to keep it.
I remembered test driving the SHO Taurus back in the early 90”s and I was
very impressed. If you read the reviews you will see that most of the owners
have previously owned BMW and Mercedes and they like this car as much or
better. If you want to see a great
review of this car you can watch this clip on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNH1Gv4ew-w
There was never any
frame damage or airbags deployed. I have
pictures of the car before the repairs were made as well. I have driven the car since the repairs were
made and even took it up to high speeds for a bit to make sure it had no
issues. (at least that was my excuse)
This car is awesome to drive! This car still has a
salvage title but I will give you a “certificate of rebuild”. If you take the title and certificate of
rebuild to the DMV they will issue you a new title that will be a standard
title. Some states will put a note in
the remark section that says “rebuilt” or “prior salvage” but the new title
will allow you to get full coverage insurance and finance the vehicle if
desired. You will be very happy
with this car. It is solid, drives
perfect and would rate in “excellent” shape. I would drive this car across the country
without any worries. Issues: The mirror glass is missing on the passenger
side door and the headliner is a little worn where it meets the rear window at
the top. It still looks good but not
perfect. You will
save a bundle of money on this car! This car will sell to the high bidder
regardless if that is $500 or $10,000. I really hope to get what this car is worth but I will trust
the auction to bring whatever the market will pay. Whoever wins this bid will be very happy! I will be glad to help with shipping and I know a hand full
of guys that would gladly drive this to anywhere in the country to deliver it. I will be happy to help you arrange to get
the car to your home as long as it has been paid for before it leaves my
driveway. I would suggest that you fly
into San Antonio or Austin and let me pick you up at the airport. You would enjoy the drive home and give you a
chance to get to know your new car. The winning bidder will need to pay a $500 deposit within 24
hours and the balance within 5 days. You
can leave the car here as long as you wish once it is paid for. This is a true NO RESERVE! High Bidder Wins! |

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]
Thu, 29 May 2014Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.
Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares
Fri, 28 Jun 2013Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.
