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.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
