This is the journey my car has taken in the time it has been in my family, and then passed to me.
Enjoy!
In 2006, we traded in our Toredor Red 1999 Taurus SE Vulcan with 112k miles for this 2006 Taurus SE with 15k on the clock.
It was a rental car in Pennsylvania before it became ours. Instead of my dad trading it in for a Corolla in mid 2010, I took it over and it had 74k miles at the time.
Specifics:
2006 Ford Taurus SE
Silver Frost Metallic
Vulcan 3.0L OHV V6
AX4N Transmission - Original (Fingers Crossed)
Built in May 2005 in Atlanta
Miles: 138,001 (at time of sale July 2014)
This is its stock appearance. It had a car starter installed when it was my father's car, too. Just thought I should add.
At my old job, there was a gen 4 (a 2002 Medium True Blue Taurus SES Vulcan) that I spotted with gen 4.5 rims. These are my favorite Taurus rims, so luckily they weren't super rare! I later found out that this was a co-worker's father's car they bought at auction cheap and it ended up dying with 356k miles. Before they scrapped it.. I was able to get the rims for my car! This was the first mod, and I figured it would be the only thing I ever did to this car. Before TCCA, I still loved this Taurus so much!
Then came the day I stumbled across the TCCA. This is when modding became out of hand and got to the point where it became addicting.
My first modifications to the car, other than a steering wheel cover , were planned to be the spoiler (factory style, no park benches here.) and the amber turn signal modification. I did the two as a combination modification since they correlate with each other. I bought a spoiler off of eBay and then went to a salvage yard and got the two sockets I needed for the bulbs. I wired everything up and got it to look like this. The amber makes the bull stand out!
Ok, so now the rear has a little bit of character. What about the front? I scoured the internet and finally came across a chrome grille for the front of it. It really changed the entire look of the front end. Very classy if you ask me!
