The Ugly, The Bad and The Good.
The Ugly:
After 15 years of SHO ownership, almost 9 with my current one, I have decided it is time to say ‘Good-Bye’ to an old friend.
The Bad:
• The Steering Wheel shows its’ age.
• The front drivers seat has a tear in it on the seat portion.
• The front passenger window is slow to go up but works.
• Fog lights do not work.
• It is a 15 year old Taurus and has been driven, so it is not perfect. A couple of dings and minor scratches. There are not dents, no rust, nothing falling off the car. It did receive a silver award at the Seattle Convention.
• There is a little seepage at the rear main, but I have let the car sit for months on end and still get no drips. The area is just 'moist.'
The Good:
3.2 MTX, just under 140K miles. The motor and clutch have less than 20K on them. When I installed the 3.2 with 3.0 heads, all the gaskets (minus head gasket) were replaced. Clevite rod bearings were installed, aluminum subframe mounts, and a ClutchMaster Stage 2 clutch. It has the stock flywheel.
She has the one of the original SHO SHOP cold air horns (resides in the fender). The air flows from there to a 80 mm MAF and a 68mm throttle bottle. The air exits out a set of high flow cats (do not remember the where I got them …) and a Borla exhaust.
I have a Ted B LPM chip attached to the computer.
She also sports strut bars front and rear, 26mm rear sway bar with a 21mm up front. The Koni struts are wrapped in Eibach springs and attached to police strut mounts. The rear is held together by a solid H-Brace and full length sub frame connectors. There are poly bushings in several places but not everywhere.
She rides on a set of Kumho tires and 98 chrome SHO rims.
Cosmetically, the back doors and back windows are tinted. There are white-face gauges installed and auto down windows for both the front windows. It also has a shortened shifter, not a short shifter.
The tires have ~10K on them, plenty of tread left. The brakes in the rear were replaced around 100K, the front around 125K. All of these have seen 1 track day, the Seattle Convention. I was in the novice class.
Other new items in the last 15K miles include the following; windshield, heater core, BDA, new speakers, new subwoofer and new plastic pieces that hold all the door panels on. The door panels were rattling, it bothered me.
Almost forgot, she is the best color combination possible, Moonlight Blue with a Mocha leather interior. She is fully loaded, moonroof, keyless entry … etc.
So all in all, I am offering a 94 3.2 MTX Moonlight Blue with Full Mocha Leather interior. The car pulls extremely well. Want $10,000, will settle for something in the $3,200 range.
Pictures to come when I know how to host them. Some are on CarDomain. Others can be sent via email.
Thanks!

P.S.
I will probably regret this ...

If I did that right, here is a link to some pictures.
