Just bought a 96 SHO

[L.L.]

I've had 3 Gen I, II SHOs, but this is my first V8 SHO.

It's a kick in the pants. It's bone stock with 75,000 miles on it.
I paid $3000 for it. :woo-hoo: It's fully loaded with a moonroof.

Only thing it needs is a new power antenna. Someone broke it off.

Anything I need to look out for?

The usual, weld the cams, save up for a trans rebuild for later, various odds and ends..... such as coils for the rear bank when they fry out.

Silver, and yes leather. Passed smog this morning with 0 problems.

I need to find a place around here that does the cam welding.

Power Antenna

Chuck the power antenna and go to the nearest pull apart yard and pull a solid mast antenna from any 96 - 99 Taurus or Sable. If you choose to repair your power antenna you will eventually want to put in a solid mast anyhow. I have had 2 sho's that I was into originality with and use to repair replace power antennas. Not any more. And yes as many also have suggested get your cams welded and intake cleaned. It will give you a chance to replace plugs and switch coils from front to back.

Good Luck and have fun with your SHO!

What part of Cali are you in?

96's are the best. They had the most content of any 3rd gen, including the 96 only JBL audio.
