Up for sale is my 1990 Taurus SHO. I really hate to let this one go, but it's become my daily driver, and it deserves better than that.

The car is in very good over all condition, The paint still shines beautifully , with some minor rust issues (I'll cover this shortly).

This car has probably one of the nicest gen 1 mocha interiors left. The Passenger seat and rear seat look like they have never been sat in, and the drivers seat shows less than average wear for a 24 year old car. (minor split in seam on bolster.)

The carpets and headliner are in excellent shape and are clean, as is the rest of the interior. The sunroof shade has MINOR wear, these are usually destroyed.

There are a few rust issues to talk about. The black strips on the door moldings are shot. They have rusted and bubbled, and are rapidly getting worse. Some of the rust has spread to behind the moldings, and there is a small bubble on the drivers door. This could VERY easily be fixed. The rear quarters are beginning to show signs of rust as well, but it is easily stoppable at this point. The dog legs are in fair condition, with minor rust as well. The rockers are completely intact and solid. Don't let any of this scare you, this isn't a rot box like most of the remaining Gen 1 SHO's. I'm just trying to be as honest as possible, so there are no surprises upon pickup.

The car runs and drives excellent. It does not burn any oil, but has a minor oil leak coming from around the cam seal.

Everything works. A/C is cold, Heat is hot. Climate control has one cracked button (just happened), but is not destroyed like most hard button units. Currently has a Pioneer Double DIN touchscreen radio. Will also be getting a new windshield this weekend.

It has brand new Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires all around, on slicers in good shape. The Front brakes are new, as well as the sway bar bushings. Suspension is tight and quiet.

The clutch was replaced at 109,000 Miles, and i've had zero issues with it. Unfortunately, the car is still a cable shifter (I haven't had time to convert it to Rod Shift), and can occasionally be a little balky.

I'm not sure of the status of the 60k, but based on the overall condition of the car and how it was kept, I would be very surprised if it wasn't done on time.

Anyway, I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car cross country. It's been very reliable, and is still a blast to drive. There aren't many Gen 1's left on the road, and this one , with minor love would be a real gem.

I'll try to add more pictures tomorrow, weather permitting.

My reserve is set VERY low.

Ford launches pair of recalls affecting fullsize sedans and Transit Connect van

Wed, Jan 28 2015

Ford has announced a pair of pretty significant recalls affecting the 2010-2013 Ford Taurus and Police Interceptor, as well as their platform-mate, the Lincoln MKS. A separate recall covers the 2014 Transit Connect. The fullsize sedans include 205,000 vehicles built at Chicago Assembly over a variety of timeframes, ranging between December 1, 2009 and November 30, 2012. The vehicles, 194,889 of which were sold in the United States, have an issue with the spring controls on the interior door handles that could cause the door to open in a side-impact crash. The Transit Connect recall, meanwhile, includes 16,100 vans built between November 6, 2013 and September 20,2014 at the company's Valencia, Spain factory. In these vehicles, the seatbelt fasteners may not have been tightened properly, which could cause them to loosen over time, a condition that's obviously bad news in the event of a crash. Ford says it is not aware of any accidents, injuries or crashes in either recall. Owners will, of course, be notified and asked to report in for inspections and if necessary, free replacements. Scroll down for the full press release from Ford, which includes the complete breakdown of dates during which the affected sedans were built in Chicago. JAN 28, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS Ford is issuing two safety recalls. No accidents or injuries are attributed to either of these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans for interior door handle issue Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 205,000 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans due to an issue with the spring that controls the interior door handles. If the spring is unseated, the door may become unlatched in a side-impact crash, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus vehicles built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant; certain 2010-2013 Lincoln MKS vehicles built June 2, 2011 to Oct. 31, 2011 at Chicago Assembly Plant; and certain 2010-2013 Ford Police Interceptor sedans built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant.

Ford auctioning off F-35-themed 2015 Mustang for charity

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Ford's been a supporter of EAA AirVenture, a huge, annual air show held in Oshkosh, WI, for several years now, with one of its most notable contributions being a modified Ford Mustang, designed to look like one of America's great fighting aircraft. There was an SR-71 Mustang, based on the legendary spy plane, a Red Tails edition, which honored the ground-breaking Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, as well as Blue Angels and Thunderbird Mustangs, based on America's two great military aerial demonstration teams.
Each car is auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the EAA Young Eagles program, which introduces kids to the joy of flight. For the 2014 AirVenture, which runs from July 28 to August 3, the one-off pony car is based on the new-for-2015 Mustang, and America's latest fighting aircraft - the controversial F-35 Lightning II.
The unique Mustang sports titanium paint scheme, with both glossy and matte sections, as well as yellow-and-blue trim and decal elements inspired by CF-1, the first F-35 test plane. A carbon-fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add some visual eye candy, while the interior boasts a set of Recaro seats. Ford also opted to fit unique wheels and a brawnier rear spoiler, to tie everything together.

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks

Sun, 25 May 2014

Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.
