Ok, F-22 Raptor SHO Here helping a fellow northern Arizona SHO owner MountainSHO to sell his car.

This is a very clean 1994 MTX SHO with 102,000 old guy miles on it. NEVER RACED NEVER MODDED! MountainSHO is an infrequent forum member who I have known for over 4 years. He bought this car in March of 1997 from his friend (another Arizona resident old person) with a mere 29,000 miles on the odo. Well now he has 102,000 miles on it and wants to sell it hopefully to another SHO enthusiast. It has spent its entire lifetime in Flagstaff Arizona where the temperatures are mild. No 120 degree summers like in Phoenix.


Details:

This car is in great shape.

Fully loaded Green SHO with 50/50 cloth leather tan interior (Hey thats rare!)

Sunroof (fully functional)

Newer Tires with lots of tread left: Goodyear All season Weatherhandler LS's. Can you say old guy touring tires?

AC, Keyless Entry, Factory Radio with Tape Player. Aftermarket cd in trunk

Sunroof

Rod Shifter (of course)

The Maintenance:

Since I wanted to buy this car when I first met him, I offered to keep it maintained if/when he wanted to sell it. I took care of this car as if it were mine. Why I dont buy this car at this point is a marital issue that I would rather not get into. All I can say is I'm kinda bummed my wifey doesnt want a stick shift as a DD. Of course I'm not willing to sell my pristine White Gen I to own a green Gen II as my DD.

Interior is in excellent shape with believe it or not NO BOLSTER WEAR: Truly rare!

Radiator and thermo replaced at 56K - all hoses at 72K
New clutch and rear main seal at 78K
New battery at 83K
New water pump, timing belt, accessory belts and CPSne belts at 90K.
Replaced starter/solenoid at 96K

I did the 60k on the car at 85,000 miles. Full upper 60k with new silicone hoses, Motorcraft wires and plugs, complete intake cleaning and all new gaskets. I even made the intake look nice with letter fills.

Oil changes were done at every 3,000 miles...often times even less (he's old remember?)

He has all maintenance records since the car was new.

He drove the car very infrequently as can be seen by the current mileage. In 13 years of ownership he drove the car only 80k.

When I drove it with him after the upper 60k, I took it to redline from 1-2, 2-3, and then 3-4. This was the FIRST time and LAST time the car had been driven like that EVER! MountainSHO was a bit surprized at what the car could do. :eek: and said and I quote, "Holy cow, I knew the car was quick but I would never drive like that!" He usually shifted at 4k and only had it to 5k a couple of times. Seeing his eyes light up when the tach was at 7 was priceless. He did say "I dont ever want to do that to the car again!"

Ok, so now the issues:

All stuff is pretty minor.

The power antenna doesnt work. It wont retract on its own. When its up, the radio works fine.

The AC: The temperature control works fine. Its hot when you turn it to 90, but only outside temperature when you dial it to 60. The AC compressor doesnt kick on, when you hit max AC. I put a gauge on the charge line, it reads full charge. I dont know how to fix it, though it seems like a simple task. Might be a new EATC unit or a connector wire. I just havent had a chance to investigate it. Being we live up in the mountains, its not often the AC button is even pushed let alone used regularly.

RUST>>>>>

NONE, NADDA, ZIPPO....They dont use salt up here, so the entire undercarriage is rust free. The Y-pipe nuts look like new.

ACCIDENTS: NONE

Scuffs: Minor. There is one scuff on the passenger side front bumper corner from a minor spousal driveway bump. Picture shows very minor surface damage/rubbage

Passenger side has door dings from wife's other car in the garage. Hey, you know old folks.

MODIFICATIONS:

Not even a Y-pipe. FULLY stock. I had to talk him into putting a K&N air filter on it which it still has.

Pictures say the rest.

Asking Price is $3500. A great price for a clean non molested SHO

Nice car. I used to have a 95 Blue on Gray leather and also another 95 White on Tan. My dad used to buy and sell SHO's which is how I got into them in the first place.

I can tell from the pictures that it looks like you guys are SHO collectors. Know anyone who may be interested in my car. I'm in N Scottsdale and mine is the 98 SHO that's listed here on the site. I'm really desperate to sell the car since I'm ready to purchase another car in Colorado but can't do so until I sell mine. Let me know.

As tempting as that is, I own more than enough already. White car in the background is mne. Green one in the background is my wifes car. Chris's would have made 3 which is more than the number of drivers in the house.

I will pass the word though.

Oh my goodness, you don't know how tempting that is. I know how Mike took care of that car for him; treated it like it was going to be his someday. Dang that's a good deal. Must resist.... MUUUUUUUUUST RESIIIIIIIIIIIIST!

Tom is right, I indeed thought this car would be mine, so I made sure it was treated right. I'm going to miss our saturday oil change and fellowship times Chris (mountainSHO).

I'm going to play salesman for a second for those of you not from Arizona and considering buying a SHO. Ive Owned 4 sho's in my lifetime. 3 from Michigan and 1 from arizona. I must say, that rust free in michigan language means "no rust visible on the surface", but try removing a y pipe bolt on one of them without pb blaster and a torch, you best have a spare stud to tap when you snap the old one off.

Rust free in Arizona means, Wanna remove the 16 year old y- pipe? Here let me get a wrench, oh wait, I can probable loosen it with this pair of pliers. I will never buy a used car from a snowbelt state ever again even if I move back there. I would just assume fly out and drive one back from this state.

This is a prime example of a west coast car with zero rust owned by an adult who not only never even heard of the word 3rd gear red line shift, had no clue that the tires would bark on a 1-2 shift. I have to say I actually felt guilty driving his car like that with him in it for the first time. It was like I came into his house and took food from his table or something. (Sorry Chris, you had to know what your car would do before I could let you sell it).

I can relate to this entire statement in ways most people will never understand and it's a main reason why I might finally move to AZ after living in WI all my life......:sun:

Times are tough all over and I can understand in today's economy people are strapped financially. I'm going to do my part for the economic stimulus plan and am lowering the price of the car to $3000 bucks.
