I guess I forgot to post about the SHO taurus I picked up after I sold the g8.
picked up a clean modded SHO taurus from the same guy that built my green 93 SHOw car.
1997 SHO Taurus v8- White with Gray leather interior with all options.
NO RUST!
Engine completely re-gasketed
cams welded
87k original miles.
Hybrid gen 2 (92-95) strut setup
Sitting on Koni Adjustable Struts with Moog Springs (sits low)
13" Cobra brakes in front
13" Single piston caliper in rear (1 of 2 in production)
18" RSL Mase rims sitting on 245/45/18 Michelins
3rd cat delete into a pair of flowmasters
24mm sway bar front
26mm sway bar rear
Stainless Steel brake lines all around
Remote start
AUX 3.5mm jack hardwired into stock headunit.
Body/lights look like the car has 20k miles on it.. truly is the cleanest SHO i've owned. Handles almost as good as my green car.
^^ now with fixed power antenna and red (98+) taillights.
Old and new??
Realizing how clean it is, how fords rust when looked at the wrong way, and with starting a construction job in the Springtime, I looked for a winter car. I started off by looking for something that only a couple thousand dollars..
Realized I would be driving it more often than not, i made the decision to get something a little bit more expensive to get exactly what I wanted.
Tonight, I purchased a 2007 Ford Escape v6 4x4 (AWD) LIMITED. Fully loaded
Has Black leather, Heated seats, color matched bumpers and handles, rear backup sensors, and Audiophile 6-disc system. The thing is mint. Suspension is in perfect condition, not a drop of anything, and super super clean.
Bring on winter!
