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! |

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
Lincoln MKC will be renamed the Corsair in 2021, probably
Mon, Jun 18 2018Lincoln will be renaming its MKC crossover, calling it the Corsair instead. Automotive News is reporting that the recently trademarked, yet storied Ford model name Corsair will be affixed on the 2021 model year crossover. The report says Ford has already told its U.S. dealers about the name at an Orlando meeting last month. Ford has a long history with the Corsair nameplate in the States and abroad: Most recently, it has been in use in Australia in the early 1990s, in the UK in the 1960s, and before that Ford offered an Edsel Corsair in the late 1950s. Even if an Edsel connection might not be the best possible thing for a Ford product, let alone a Lincoln, it might serve the crossover well as Ford moves to ditch the MK naming convention it's used for Lincoln for the past decade. Still, the manufacturer is said to have cautioned dealers it might opt out of using the Corsair name before production time. At the same meeting, Ford reportedly showed the next-generation Escape, the Explorer, a battery electric crossover dubbed the Mach 1, a yet-unnamed small SUV (which might be the Bronco) , and a new Lincoln Continental complete with suicide doors. The MKC will still receive a refresh for next year, retaining its letters-name for a couple of years before the bigger redesign for 2021. Currently, the MKC is the strongest-selling Lincoln product in China, and it brings in numerous new Lincoln customers there. In the U.S. it's outsold by the MKX crossover and is neck-and-neck with the MKZ sedan.
