From the WTF Files: SHO and Ranger as one

[Bru]

Oh, and it's from TCG's second home ... Clinton, Iowa.

Listing is from Ebay:

This is a very rare vehicle and to my knowledge there has never been another one made. The front end is a 1994 ford SHO taurus and the back end is that of a ford ranger. The car runs great and is a smooth ride. It has received 5 first places in 5 shows that it has been in. The only negatives are that it needs some minor fabrication work with the interior which I show in the pictures. Test drives are welcome and payment must be received within one week of auction's end or vehicle will be re-listed. I can be reached at 563-357-8809 for any questions. It's an awesome car to drive and is definitely an eye catcher!

-exhaust-straight pipes (sounds great)

-good tread on tires

-diamond plate on gas tank

-CD and cassette player

***The sun roof does slide open and the title is clear.

I spotted this a few years back, forgot it existed.

The thing I'm curious about is what is the platform its on? Because its FWD still, but it has leaf-springs out back... Not sure about how safe that thing is, or how it handles......

Yeah, I kind of figured one of the SHO humpers would have seen it before, but now it's up for sale. Current bidding is $5800 and the reserve hasn't been met yet

[SinisterSHO]

Not only does it look like that. It sounds terrible too.

 

[RebelGTP]

I'm hoping that he built this out of a rear end fucked SHO, and didn't hack one up just to do this...

if he hacked it up, MEGA FAIL...

I think i'm in love. How come no one is putting the 3.8 S/C motor in rangers? Or am i not looking hard enough?

I met the guy from SVT who drove that thing around. He said it was loud and obnoxious and alot of fun to drive.

That is how every project vehicle should be.
