 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.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.

Build your dream garage with this insane prize from Omaze

Wed, Jan 19 2022

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own. A six-figure camper van build, a $300,000 Ford Bronco restoration, a Land Rover Defender that's so beautiful it should be in a museum. Today's prize might beat out all of those, because not only could you win a dream car, you'll be entered for a chance to win $100k cash to go along with it.  There are a lot of cars you can buy with $100k. You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it. Except maybe your spouse.  Here are our favorite vehicle giveaways we’ve found online this week: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition - Enter at Omaze Regardless of what you think about Ford using the name Mustang for an electric crossover, one thing is for certain, the Mustang Mach-E GT is an impressive piece of machinery. Here are some numbers for you: 480 horsepower, 634 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and 260 miles of range. Price? Well, thatÂ’s really up to you, because if you enter to win this Mach-E GT. it can be as low as $0. Here are the specs of the Mach-E in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: fully electric motors Drivetrain: eAWD Exterior Color: Rapid Red Metallic   Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 480 hp  Maximum Torque: 634 lb-ft Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.5 seconds Range: 235 miles Approximate Retail Value: $75,500 Cash Alt: $56,625 Special Features: GT Performance Edition; panoramic fixed-glass roof; Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0 and 360-degree camera; Brembo brakes; RTR Design Package including 20” RTR Aero 5 wheels, Nitto NT555 G2 tires and RTR Speed Block graphics Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Joel Stocksdale, News Editor: There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII

Fri, 17 May 2013

Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.
