1989 Ford Taurus SHO: High-output 220HP 3.0 DOHC Yamaha V6 engine with 5-speed transmission. Newer black paint and tan 50/50 leather/cloth interior. Power windows, locks, moonroof, keyless entry.
SVO Rod shifter conversion, PowerBulge factory fiberglass hood, K&N air filter, rear spoiler added, & all Ford emblems removed from the car when it was painted. Yamaha badge on grill.

Lots of work done in the past year.
Too many new parts to list. Over $4000 invested in the past year alone. Very quick car for the year and mileage. Car does have 162,000 miles, but the SHO has been known to run for a long time with the proper maintenance(250k is normal

)

18x8" American Racing Vortec rims with worn 235/40/18 ZR Falken tires and basketweaves with 215/60/15 winter only tires.

Car is located in Bellingham, MA.
Comes with a spare motor and lots of extra parts I have in the garage.
Looking to get $1950 for the car and all extra parts.
18" rims available separately for $400.

Email me at [email protected] for pictures.
Need money and can't afford to keep all 3 vehicles on the road.

Also, new pictures can be seen at my PhotoIsland account.

Heh. Guess I should have added the work I have done to it...

This is most of the ad I have posted at SHOforum...
And, to answer your question, James...I had to roll the left rear lip 1/4" . No more rubbing and they clear the struts just fine.


List of parts replaced within the last 10k miles:

Alternator
Battery
Batt. terminals
Radiator
Upper radiator hose
Thermostat
Waterpump
Crank Position sensor
Front main seal
Timing belt
Acc. belts
Motorcraft sparkplugs
KYB rear struts
Moog Cargo coils
Moog strut mounts
TPR bushings in rear suspension(most)
Rear Sway bar endlinks
Inner and Outer rear wheel bearings
Remanufactured rear calipers
New rear rotors
New rear pads
New e-brake cables
Single DTM sytle muffler, mounted upside down. Only visible part is the outlets, which face down and outward.


Car comes with the plastic Bulge hood from a '91, SVO Rod Shifter Conversion, K&N panel filter(outer air box removed), and 15" Basketweave rims with 215/60/15 winter tires and 16" slicers with tires.

Problems:

1. Car uses some oil. Not sure if it is burning
it, leaking it, or what. Good for 1qt= 750
miles.
2. Blend door needs to be replaced.
3. Air conditioning does not work(disconnected).
4. Dashboard is cracked in several small spots.
5. The rust repair is starting to show on the
right rear quarter, under the gas filler.
Typical.

Not included!
The Police grille does not come with the car.

You can have all of the spare parts in my garage as well, which include; various sensors, a used 3.0L motor(partially stripped), valve covers, used front struts & springs, starter, etc.

Asking $1950 for the car plus all of the spare parts in my garage.

Registration is cheap. Keeping it insured is not.

I'm selling it strictly for insurance reasons. I have 2 other vehicles that I pay insurance on. Right now, the SHO is just taking up space and money...things I need right now.

 

[JaySHOguy]

Ok. Final price on this car...


$1950 for the car with basketweaves/ winter tires and 16" Slicers.

$2300 with the 18" Ar rims.

All parts still go with the car.

Again, I prefer someone somewhat local to MA.

 

[JaySHOguy]

BTT.

Rims available for $400 separately.

 

[JaySHOguy]

Car is sold. New owner took delivery on 5-17-04. I almost cried when I saw it drive away .
