Up for sale is my 1997 Taurus SHO v8. This has the 3.4L v8 yamaha/ford engine.
This car was built and EXTREMELY maintained by James Huber, aka [MENTION=10480]St Louis SHO[/MENTION] on the boards here. He built it for a show car/daily driver for his wife, but at the time, for personal reasons, needed to sell the car. I just sold my White g8 and was looking for a new daily driver. It was WAY too nice to daily drive, so i put it in my garage. Being that I have two other cars, this one gets driven the least. I think I only put on 3,000 miles since I bought it 17 months ago.
This car is a cruiser... its a couch on wheels. The seats are SUPER comfy. I averaged 26.5 mpg on the way home from St. Louis when I purchased it. You can turn the knobs on the suspension from SUPER FIRM, to SOFT, and it shows.
$5500 .. but open to reasonable offers

Maintenance all done at 86k

And some pictures, ill try to keep them in chrono order... the only changes really were the hideous yellow taillights were swapped for red ones, and the rear power antenna was fixed.
Here are some of the "build" pictures. He really went all out with the quality of products/paint used here...
