Thanks for stopping to take a look at my auction! I have up for sale, my 1993 Ford Taurus SHO. I would assume most of you viewing this, already know what this car is, and for the rest of you, this is a Taurus on Steroids!!! These cars are getting harder to find, let alone in this condition, and will only appreciate in value.

Finished in Deep Jewel Green that shows well for the age with Black leather, this is 1 of only 545 examples produced in this color combination. With just 107,XXX miles, it is also a rare survivor!!!

It starts, runs and shifts all gears like it should. Started in -20 weather this winter with no problems. There are no dash warning lights on. This was my dream car since I was younger, and a new daughter has completely changed my priorities. Adult driven and owned, there have been no performance enhancements. It's just like you would have got it from Ford 21 years ago. I am listing this with no reserve as I cannot afford to keep it, and hope the new owner will treat this car the way it deserves.

As many SHO models are, this vehicle is loaded with power options.

Including but not limited to:

Power Windows

Power Locks

Cruise Control

Automatic Climate Control (Unit was replaced with the 95 hard button EATC) so no broken buttons many of these cars have.

AM/FM CD with JBL premium sound. (Subwoofer speaker was also replaced)

Automatic Dimming Lights

Power Moonroof

Power Seats with Lumbar and Bolster Support.

Remote Keyless Entry

Keypad Keyless Entry

Rear Defrost

This interior in this car is VERY CLEAN for the age. The seats show very little signs of wear. 3 of the original floor mats are included (lost drivers side) As a known problem with these cars, the EATC had been replaced with the '95 hard button model (no broken buttons!!) Also, due to time and age, the factory JBL subwoofer had been replaced with a new Pyle woofer, and sounds great! All power options also work. The power moonroof is a little slow, but I do have a new motor that will be included with the sale.

The exterior is clean as well, with the exception of a tiny amount of surface rust and some light scrapes on the right rear quarter panel. (Local Bodyman Quoted me $300 to fix)

BRAND NEW tires were just installed with tie rod ends and rear struts. The car has not been aligned since, and that's something that new buyer would want done, along with front struts in the near future.

I am adding alot of pictures, since they can tell so much more than I can. If anyone has questions, please Ask the Seller a Question on eBay, or you can contact me @ 712-579-4016

Shipping is responsibility of the new buyers, however I can either work with a shipping company or contact me for a rate to your location. If you would like to fly in and drive it home, I can also arrange to pick you up. Omaha, NE Des Moines,IA and Sioux City, IA are fairly close airports.

Clear title for this car

I am very hesitant to sell this, however I cannot afford to licence and insure so many vehicles.

Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot

Sun, 05 Jan 2014

A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.

Ford Shelby GT350R sets 7:32.19 Nurburgring lap time

Mon, Jan 26 2015

It was over a year ago that the Chevy Camaro Z/28 clocked a Nurburgring lap time of 7 minutes and 37.47 seconds, propelling itself up the leader boards as the fastest American muscle car to lap the infamous Nordschleife. But now word has it that another piece of Detroit iron has clocked an even faster time. According to Evo, the new Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang has lapped the Green Hell in a blitzkrieg 7:32.19. That's more than five seconds faster than the Z/28, and propels the GT350R into proper supercar territory: incrementally quicker than the Ferrari 458 Italia and in league with lap times posted by the Nissan GT-R (though not the fastest Godzilla has clocked over the years). With output quoted at "more than 500 horsepower and more than 400 lb-ft of torque," and no 0-60, quarter-mile or top end figures revealed to date, this marks the first genuine measure of performance we've seen for the track-focused pony car - though the numbers have yet to be officially confirmed. The GT350R packs a 5.2-liter V8 unburdened by 130 pounds of excess weight – helped along by carbon-fiber wheels coated in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber. Related Video:
