hood for an 89?

[Bizzy]

I happened to be at the local Advance Auto Parts the other day picking up some parts to do a tune up on my father's ZX2, when the manager made a crack about my SHO. Turn out I was parked next to her 89, and I promptly defended my car. Well we got to talking and she mentioned that she needed a hood for her car and hasn't ben able to find one. I guess the 89-91 regular taurus ones don't fit. In the efforts of helping her out I figured I should ask here and see what ppl say. I don't think she wants to spend tooo much more than about $150-$200 to get one.

I wondered if there was a sable at that time and perhaps would it's hood fit? If not, is there anyone that is in the northeast that wants to sell a GEN 1 hood? She seemed pretty amazed that ther was a group of us out here on the net.

I've got an 89 hood that I just replaced with a Plus hood. (thanks Kirk!) It's titanium and has no rot, just a really small puck mark. I'm willing to sell it, but I don't know the best way to ship it. UPS? Drop me an email if she wants it.

I'll let ya know, I have to go there tomorrow for some things and I'll tell her about it.

Neither a Sable or a SLO hood will fit properly.

The SHO hood is actually a Sable hood skin over a different underside that allows the hood to clear the top of the SHO engine.

if I had an extra $400 and a place to store your ATX without a tranny I'd be all over that. Hmmm I am moving in a month or so, and if I find a job.......
