Beautiful red 1994 Ford Taurus Sho. This Sho is original, other than the paint. This is a rare and unmolested Sho. These are getting harder and harder to find, especially one with such a nice exterior and interior. The 3.2 Yamaha V6 with factory 220 horsepower runs great. The engine does not overheat or sound like it is falling apart. The acceleration is there when you need it. Automatic transmission shifts like it should. It you punch the accelerator, the car will accelerate very quickly. Factory dual stock exhaust sounds good.
The car was painted approximately 5 years ago. It was a very nice paint job. Not perfect, but a solid 8 or 9 out of 10. I get lots of stares and compliments everywhere I go. The original slicer rims look nice. The body has some minor door dings, but no other body damage. The cladding and body parts are all there, and they look nice. There are only two small areas of rust: First one is on just behind the rear passenger door. It is on the upper rear pillar area. The other one is on the same side on the lower quarter panel area. Both are about the size of a 50 cent piece. I took photographs of both of them. You can't see them unless you are close to the car and looking for them. They are starting to bubble under the paint. The rest of the body looks very, very nice. No rust including the trunk lip, door jambs, etc. When you look under this car, you will see a clean car that is not ate up with rust. Tires, brakes, and exhaust are good. Suspension feels fine. Car drives and stops straight. Interior is very nice. The leather is a solid 9.5 out of 10. This includes both front and rear seats. Carpet looks almost like new. Headliner, door panels, etc. look great. (little marks on both arm areas of front doors from being 20 years old). Some of the interior trim pieces are broken, but these can be easily replaced. A vent or two has the plastic broken too. Auto climate control works perfectly, but the buttons are worn/cracked like almost all other Sho's. Dash looks like new. All glass is in great shape. No funny smells, and no evidence of past smokers.
This car is basically ready to drive across the country. I drove the car to Miami three weeks ago, and it ran perfect both ways. I parked it in my garage when I got back home, and it has not moved. You can pick this Sho up and drive it home, wherever that may be. There are some minor issues with some of the power options, etc. I am going to list everything that I can think of. Remember, the car is 20 years old, and you are going to have some minor things wrong. The good thing is that these things can be fixed a little at a time.
The car has 185,000 miles on it. I was told when I bought the car that the engine had been rebuilt not too long ago. I had a mechanic check the engine and he said that it has high compression and seems to run very well. After sitting in my garage for 3 weeks, I had a small oil spot on the garage floor. It is about the size of a quarter. I do not know where it is coming from. I have not had to add any oil. Whevever it is leaking from, it has to be very minor. Valve cover gaskets will eventually need to be replaced like most Sho's. They have a very small seepage out of the one side. I cleaned it up and it did not leak at all on my trip to Miami. The check engine light comes on some times. The code showed that it had a bad egr valve. I had one installed. Then it threw a code for a crank sensor. I had that replaced. Now it is off, but it could come right back on. This is emission only, so it does not effect the operation. The idle is smooth, and the acceleration is smooth.
Transmisson works perfectly. The overdrive button on the side of the gear shift does not work. Not that you would ever use it unless you are towing a trailer.
Air conditioner works great, and will freeze you out. The bearing on the compressor is just starting to go out, and it has a minor squeal. If the squeal bothers you, you will have to replace the compressor. Eventually, I am sure it will go out.
Air bag light flashes on and off. Code shows that a ground wire is off. I have not been able to locate the loose connection as of yet. I do not have the equipment to trace it down.
Outside keyless entry does not work to unlock car. It will lock doors, etc. Not sure what is wrong with it.
Cd player does not work. Fuse, broke, short?
Rear driver's power window only operates when it wants to.
Rear driver's power window only operates when it wants to.
Factory radio amplifier for radio seems to shut off when you put the brakes on. Electrical problem somewhere.
Coolant recover tank (reservoir) for radiator has a leak. It will eventually need to be fixed or replaced. This is the little tank that holds any overfill from the radiator. I just noticed it yesterday.
Power sunroof works 99 percent of the time. Seems like a rare short.
If you read everything above, and also according to the mechanic, there could be just a main loose ground wire that is causing these items not to work, or to work at times. Unknown if this is correct or not.
All lights are functional including fog lamps. Interior lamps work correctly.
So there you have it. Sho's are tempermental, and usually always need some type of tinkering to them. On the plus side, they are rare and are great performance cars for the money. Most people do not even know what they are until you pop the hood.
I bought this car about a year ago with the intention of keeping it, and slowly making it perfect. After receiving 5 tickets in my gated community as well as numerous warning letters, I must part with my toy. Seems like I have a rule that I can't park any cars on the street after darkness. My wife is tired of her car sitting outside, so the Sho must go. I was told that this car only had older mature owners such as myself. I would say that is true by looking at it. The car has also spent the majority of its life right here in Florida. I have only put 1,000 miles on it or so, and have only driven it on beautiful sunny days.
I have not set any reserve. The higest bid will win this car, unless someone uses the buy it now price. Please remember that once you buy the car, it is yours. $250.00 deposit within 24 hours of winning the car through paypal. The remainder must be paid in cash and the car picked up within 7 days unless other arrangements have been made and approved by me. If you want to know something about the car, or see something, please ask. I reserve the right to remove the car at any time, as I am going to advertise it locally too. If the car does run the course through the auction though, I will honor the bid regardless of the price. Clear title in hand and ready to go. With the great slicers, body panels, interior pieces, power options, leather seats, etc.....this car would be a good buy even if it did not run. Well, as I said, this car is ready to drive to California. Good luck!
On Jun-14-13 at 17:19:04 PDT, seller added the following information:
Two more things. The button on the gear shift that I listed above allows you to manually drop the car down from fourth gear (overdrive) to third gear. The transmission shifts great through all four gears the way it is. If you decide to tow a heavy trailer or pull something, you may want to get it fixed. I never had time to check this button out. It probably is something easy like a fuse or loose connection, but I do not know this for sure.
The power antenna does not operate, which makes me think that loose ground wire could be causing most of these little electical problems stated above.

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.

Ford Mustang hit by Moore' Oklahoma's EF5 tornado lives to do another burnout
Fri, 07 Jun 2013Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. As you can see in the image above, the tornado's 200+ mph winds did quite a number on the car, but while most people would have likely called their insurance company and scrapped the car, Haden had other plans.
After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. Check out the KSBI TV news report video below showing before and after pictures of the tough 'Stang, as well as a video showing the newly lightweight coupe doing a smoky burnout.
