Up for sale is my 1991 Taurus SHO Plus, with just under 89,000 documented miles. That's right, this is a 5 digit odometer that has NOT rolled over.
To many SHO enthusiasts, the Gen 1 SHOs are the most desirable due to their tidier exterior dimensions, lower weight and more performance-oriented suspension setup. Additionally, the Plus Package (a 1991-only option) is the most desirable of the Gen 1s. This car is a true Plus Package, estimated to be 1 of 900 made, in 1991 only.
This car was formerly owned by the Editor in Chief of Autoblog.com, and has been featured on their site:
So why am I selling? This is my weekend fun car. I am a SHO enthusiast and have wanted a Gen 1 Plus since they were new, but I was never able to locate a car. The stars aligned when the previous owner (an auto journalist friend of mine) bought this car from another enthusiast. I then bought the car from him. I have truly enjoyed the car, but it's time to downsize to two daily drivers, and I refuse to press this car into daily driver service. Hence it's time for her to go to a new owner.
Here is some documentation on what constitutes a Plus Package SHO:
The car has all the Plus Package elements: Rear spoiler, fiberglass hood (in excellent condition with original decals and hood pad), blackout window surrounds, and blackout mirrors. The car is Jewel Green, a unique color ONLY available on the Plus Package. As far as Gen 1 SHOs go, this is as rare as it gets. You won't see yourself coming or going in this car.
Overall condition is truly excellent as Gen 1 SHOs go. I firmly believe this is one of the nicest Gen 1s for sale anywhere, and THE nicest 1991 Plus for sale anywhere. The car is turn-key, and is in drive-it-anywhere condition. There is no accident damage, and absolutely ZERO rust ANYWHERE. The car gets stored in the winters and is never driven in the rain. The shift knob is new, and is a NOS replacement. It even has a recent oil change. The HVAC control (typically worn and cracked) has been replaced with a spanking new unit and is literally in new condition. The original JBL Audio system was non-functional due to a dead CD player. I replaced the components with a Gen 2 JBL Audio system. The original stereo is included for the next owner. I am also including a painted police grill (very hard to find and currently installed on the car) as well as the original stock grill.
Issues? A few - the car is over 20 years old. That said, they are minor. The A/C is dead (I believe it needs new A/C lines and a recharge), and there are a few small spots of clearcoat fade on the roof that is just starting (common to all first gen clearcoated Taurus models). The sunroof shade is bubbled and flaking. There is a *very* minor driver's side transmission seal leak (a drop or two every two weeks on my garage floor), and will need to be addressed at some point. Aside from those very minor issues, the car is otherwise pristine and needs no large-dollar repairs.
I have full maintenance records (including a clutch job, new struts, subframe mounts, and a full 60K at a well known SHO repair shop, oil changes, recent alignment), and a large amount of OEM spares (ask for details). The car also comes with a full press kit from the 2010 SHO reintroduction at the Chicago Auto Show, including a T shirt, and a die cast Taurus SHO in its original packaging.
I am also including a complete set of OEM Ford shop manuals with the car as well.
SHOs have a special place in my heart, and 1991 Plus models especially. The first and second generation SHOs are historically significant and I believe the first gen cars may be collectible. I want this car to go to an enthusiast who will care for it and treat it with the respect that I and it's previous owners have given it.

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid
Mon, 01 Jul 2013As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.
Ford pranks unsuspecting blind dates with Mustang GT and stunt driver
Thu, Feb 12 2015There's 'speed dating,' that ludicrous get-to-know-you ritual devised by The Inquisition of Mating, and then there's 'dating at ludicrous speed,' which is a better description of what Ford has done in this latest video for the 2015 Mustang GT for your Valentine's Day enjoyment. The Blue Oval used a professional stunt driver to hook six guys into going on a little car trip, but the setup is the key – she pretends she's not that good at driving, until she's really good at it. You can check it out above. Kudos to the guy who goes from "You might want to shift again" to "That's what I'm talking about!" without any question. And the ninja.
Ford Fiesta ST gets worked out on the track
Sun, 10 Mar 2013We're big fans of the turbocharged Ford Focus ST, and we're plenty excited that the Blue Oval will be offering a similar treatment on the smaller Fiesta here in the United States, too. We first saw the production-ready Fiesta ST five-door at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and Ford has now released this video of a Euro-spec three-door ST being flung around the track.
But not just any track - the challenging Track 7 of Ford's Lommel Proving Grounds in Belgium. The course features 20 turns and plenty of elevation changes along its 2.7-mile loop, and David Put, a vehicle dynamic specialist at Ford, shows just how good the pint-sized Fiesta ST is at handling the lot, even getting the smallest ST up on three wheels every now and then.
It sure does look like a lot of fun, and makes us really eager for our chance to try this ourselves. Scroll down to see the hot little Ford getting busy.
