I'm listing my 97 SHO for sale for $800, which is what a local junk yard has offered. I'd prefer to see it go to someone that will use it than to a junk yard. Strong running engine with a very low mileage new SARC suspension.
It has 129,822 miles, is in need of a transmission rebuild and has been sitting since 2009. Once a month I start the car up, bring it up to temp, and move it from the back yard to the front portion of our driveway, then move it back a day or two later.
The cams were welded by John Stoessel in 2008 at 93,247 miles. John also installed a trans cooler, upgraded headlight harness, flushed the power steering and trans, cleaned the surge tank, tested the coils and cleaned the intake butterflies. I purchased this car in 2001 and have changed the oil every 4,000-5,000 miles with Mobil 1.
Per CARFAX this is a 3 owner car with the first owner being Ford Corporate, second as a lease, then I picked it up in 2001 with 58,969 miles. No accidents listed, and none under my ownership.
The car is currently non-op'd (since Oct 2009) and I had planned to replace the tranny but other projects and life got in the way so I need to get rid of the car (in other words, wife says it's been sitting around too long). It starts quick and runs well, can slowly move under it's own power but the trans slips badly.
The Good:
Welded cams
SARC suspension replaced with a new SARC suspension at 122,980 miles
Adjustable rear control arms put on with SACR suspension
SHO Shop lowering springs
SHO Shop 3rd cat delete
The Bad:
Been sitting, the clear coat on the front bumper cover is peeling
A few spots on the front bumper cover just below the hood are losing paint
Interior intact, but needs a good cleaning
Dash has separated above the gauges while sitting, needs to be glued
Two door dings on the left quarter panel, small
Small dings to the rear bumper on either side of license plate
Transmission needs to be replaced
Dead battery, car is started using a spare battery or jumped
Headlights have begun to get hazy while it sits
Driver's seat left bolster has typical wear
IMRC cable snapped, butterflies are wired open
Lower front valance has scratches (I have a new, unpainted valance for the car)
The car is located in Southern California near Riverside. Any questions, or more pics needed send me an email [email protected]
