For Sale: 1995 Taurus SHO manual transmission, one of 7 or 8 with Silver body over mocha (tan) interior. Am the second owner of this car and longtime SHOowner since mid 90s. Last of the manual transmission SHOs. Double overhead cam engine designed and built by Yamaha with 7300 rpm factory rev limit.
The Good - always a New England car, but has NEVER been driven in winter, always stored. Always garage kept in summer. One of 7 or 8 made with Artic Silver over Mocha tan half cloth half leather, no rips or tears. No dents or dings in doors fenders hood, rear deck lid etc. Paint in outstanding condition.
Oil changed every 3 K miles with synthetic, inside of engine is very clean.
Purchased from original owner in 2018, have only driven it about 4 K miles. Original owner changed oil every 3 K with Mobil 1, engine internals are spotless. He drove it summers only to and from his employer on county roads, thus the superior condition of front bumper hood etc. During my ownership added forged steel flywheel, clutch with reinforced pressure plate straps added. New old stock clutch disc. Fresh oil pan reseal. New headliner with NOS (new old stock) sunroof cover. New Ford OEM fuel pump. Fresh valve cover gaskets plugs and wires, and valve clearance adjustment. Recently rebuilt Quaife limited slip equipped transmission from my other SHO with considerable assistance from SHOnut Performance, new parts included all new synchronizers, synchronizer blocking rings, and all new bearings including the bearings that are difficult to source. Replaced heater core and blend door with all NOS parts. Everything cleaned thoroughly during the replacement (HVAC system, carpets removed, shampooed etc). New NOS rear calipers and pads.
Has Gen III subframe swap, one of a kind Bilstein front struts valved for the NOS stock front springs. Rear has NOS 1995 spec rear shocks. Engine stock except for catalytic converter downpipe. Original cat back in pretty good shape. Recently resealed oil pan. 11.6 inch front brake upgrade.
Rides and drives very nice. Brand new summer only Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance tires .
The Bad - small ding next to drivers side tail light (professionally repaired 2024 but can still see minor paint issue). Slicer wheel set on there have never been curbed, no bends, clean for the miles.
Backstory: A half dozen years ago the 95 manual transmission SHO I bought new from the dealer rusted out. I had given up finding another one, everything looked at had underbody rust. About gave up when this one came up for sale. Higher mileage (127 K) but bought it due to the nearly immaculate body and underbody. Purchased from the original owner who always kept it garaged, and stored in a barn each winter - no salt. I am the second owner.
Yes occasionally you can find a never seen salt car in the southwest U.S., but the sun will have faded the paint and interior, and the rubber weatherstripping that is almost impossible to find will be brittle from the heat. This one has none of those issues.
Clean factory paint except for the small dent mentioned. Bought from original owner including all service records.
After buying I have stored winters in a heated concrete building/garage kept in summer. Reason for sale - too many cars.
$9000 USD, be advised 11/23/2025 its back in winter storage. Anyone paying full price will get a NOS passenger side SHO headlight and NOS Sable drivers side headlight (current headlights are in very good shape). Also available is a NOS 25 mm rear sway bar. Carfawks available upon request.
Please reach me on "Conversations" (private messages) I will check a couple of times a month, please include e-mail, location and phone no.
