NO RESERVE!!!! NO
RESERVE!!! High Bidder Wins!! 1993 Super High Output (SHO) Taurus 5 Speed Manuel 220 HP Over 140mph top speed ! Yamaha High Performance Motor Low Miles Runs and Drives Perfect!! Here is what MotorTrend
magazine said after a two year review of this year model Taurus SHO: “1993 Ford Taurus SHO By B.J. Killeen | From the March 1995 issue of Motor
Trend Judging by the write-in comments on the
survey (and there were plenty), what everyone liked best about the SHO was,
obviously, performance. It was the primary purchase influence at 92.8 percent,
followed in order by handling, looks/style, and safety features. The output
from the Yamaha engine is more than half again as much as from the 3.8-liter
six-cylinder in the regular Taurus: 220 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 215
pound-feet of torque at 4800. A 7.5-second 0-60 time and a 15.4-second/88.9-mph
quarter-mile run backed up its performance claims-so much so that many owners
rambled on about how much better they liked the SHO over more-expensive
hardware like BMWs, Mercedeses, and other European sport sedans. "I had a BMW
before this car," wrote one happy owner. "I never thought I'd ever
like to drive something as much as that BMW. The SHO is every bit as nice. I
like a fast car and a family car; the SHO is it!"
The Yamaha-built 3.2 liter DOHC V-6
produces 220 horsepower and 215 pound-feet of torque. Engineering
wizardry-including dual intake runners, one for low engine speeds and one for
high-helps deliver the SHO's quick 7.5-second 0-60 time and nice torque band I moved to Texas in 2008
and decided to get my car dealer license because I love to buy and sell cars
and motorcycles. It has always been more
of a hobby than a business (thank god, or I would starve) I
found this San Antonio and purchased it from an insurance company. It had
damage to the right front Fender and grill. I replaced the front bumper, grill
and right front fender. When I bought
this car I had every intention to keep it.
I remembered test driving the SHO Taurus back in the early 90”s and I was
very impressed. If you read the reviews you will see that most of the owners
have previously owned BMW and Mercedes and they like this car as much or
better. If you want to see a great
review of this car you can watch this clip on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNH1Gv4ew-w
There was never any
frame damage or airbags deployed. I have
pictures of the car before the repairs were made as well. I have driven the car since the repairs were
made and even took it up to high speeds for a bit to make sure it had no
issues. (at least that was my excuse)
This car is awesome to drive! This car still has a
salvage title but I will give you a “certificate of rebuild”. If you take the title and certificate of
rebuild to the DMV they will issue you a new title that will be a standard
title. Some states will put a note in
the remark section that says “rebuilt” or “prior salvage” but the new title
will allow you to get full coverage insurance and finance the vehicle if
desired. You will be very happy
with this car. It is solid, drives
perfect and would rate in “excellent” shape. I would drive this car across the country
without any worries. Issues: The mirror glass is missing on the passenger
side door and the headliner is a little worn where it meets the rear window at
the top. It still looks good but not
perfect. You will
save a bundle of money on this car! This car will sell to the high bidder
regardless if that is $500 or $10,000. I really hope to get what this car is worth but I will trust
the auction to bring whatever the market will pay. Whoever wins this bid will be very happy! I will be glad to help with shipping and I know a hand full
of guys that would gladly drive this to anywhere in the country to deliver it. I will be happy to help you arrange to get
the car to your home as long as it has been paid for before it leaves my
driveway. I would suggest that you fly
into San Antonio or Austin and let me pick you up at the airport. You would enjoy the drive home and give you a
chance to get to know your new car. The winning bidder will need to pay a $500 deposit within 24
hours and the balance within 5 days. You
can leave the car here as long as you wish once it is paid for. This is a true NO RESERVE! High Bidder Wins! |

Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar
Thu, Feb 25 2021We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste. When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled. Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes. "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass. Related Video:
Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup
Sat, 08 Mar 2014Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost loses big power on 87 octane
Mon, Jan 5 2015The 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder is a pretty potent package on paper. With 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, it boasts better performance numbers than the 3.7-liter V6, but with better fuel economy as an added benefit. However, if you're in the market for one of these boosted 'Stangs, you should probably keep in mind that it really prefers to gulp premium, 93-octane fuel. It can drink 87-octane swill in a pinch, but you're going to find significantly less power underfoot when pulling away. While it's not shocking that the ponies are dialed back with a lower grade of gasoline, an alleged page from a Ford training manual obtained by Mustang 6G purports to show just how much power is lost, though. According to this document, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost makes 275 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque when running on lower octane fuel. That's a substantial reduction of about 11.3 percent compared to when the engine drinks 93 octane. Interestingly, according to Mustang 6G, that finding was a bit better than expected, because a Ford engineer reportedly said power would be down about 13 percent without altering peak torque. In speaking with Autoblog, Paul Seredynski of Ford powertrain communications, objected to part of this document. While he couldn't confirm the specific losses listed for the Mustang EcoBoost, "torque remains unchanged" with lower octane gasoline, Seredynski said. He speculated this training manual page was "possibly from before the engine was certified" and therefore showed incorrect figures. Serendynski did confirm that the automaker recommends using 93 octane, and like all modern engines, the software adapts if it's lower. "Peak power would be reduced" by using a lesser grade, he confirmed.
