2005 I sold my old SHO taurus to pick up the cobalt....

Some of you might have seen the videos http://1997gtp.net/sho/

it had 91k miles on it and was in pristine condition. I got the itch back to buy another one.

droptSHO posted on here the craigslist ad for, what seemed to be, my old SHO.

I contacted the owner.. he said that he wanted like 3500 for it. I really wanted it back, but not for more than i paid for it (3000 back in 2005)

He contacts me a few months later saying the clutch is bad and so the bumper.. He will take $800.


Needless to say, i went over there cash in hand and picked it back up.


The previous owner put on a "better" remote start... didnt hook up the manual transmission part of it... so he bumped a few cars. (bent the frame a little :wtc:)

Took it home.. took the whole front end apart. Kyles uncle owns a body shop, so i will be bringing it there for the face lift
