GI 1995 Taurus SHO Project

In light of just how many projects I still have around the house, picking up this project may have been overly ambitious as I don't know when I'm going to have time to tackle it...

Just posting this to see if anyone is interested;

1995 Taurus SHO MTX, Green on Tan half and half.
~100K on the clock.

The 3.0 in it has a spun bearing, but it runs/drives/shifts for the sake of proving the trans and brakes are good.

I have a 3.0 sitting waiting to go in it.

Car is straight, has assorted blemishes with its age, and rust JUST starting on the driver side rear wheel well.

Car has nearly new tires on gen4 wheels, but I also have a full set of Slicers to go with it to move the tires onto. LOTS of spare parts, and being a 95 its essentially the last hurrah of the Gen2 (so hard button climate control, better front knuckles/brakes, and a few other goodies).

Just looking to get what I have into it, back out of it, so I'm just asking $500. Drop the motor into this, and have a nasty little DD for cheap or track-rat.

Brand new battery and serpentine belt as well.

Lots of pics here:

I'm going to continue to try to, the amount of work that I need to do around the house seems never ending .

Like I said, just GI, I doubt anyone is going to actually be interested in this since you already bought yours.

I'm going to file for registration next week (since I've signed the title, but didn't register it yet, so this is like 2-4 weeks out from actually being ready to go).

dont waste the time or money, just print this and fill it out.

I'd only do that if someone on here actually is interested in doing this project, I wouldn't do that if I sell it privately. (don't like how it can come back around)

I wouldn't have bought something like that, I can't store my S2000 outside even in the nice ass area I live in. Too much risk of it getting stolen so a project like that wouldn't be an option.

Car starts/runs/drives.

It sounds like it has a spun bearing.

Has a fresh serpentine and battery now

Someone buy me!

Anyone interested in the car without the spare motor for $500?

 

[10sec]

NO.

 

[Dasfinc]

$500, comes with a good motor, need it out of my driveway, title in hand.

If I buy it will you help me swap it

 

[10sec]

Nope.

That's what he'll say ^^^^





































Or he'll say he'll help and not help, cause he knows what he's getting into.

Negative, its time consuming, time which I just don't have with owning a house to be honest.

I can get it towed about anywhere not a million miles away for $100 for anyone interested.

REALLY would like this gone this weekend, there is a MOUNTAIN of parts to go with it.

Realistically you could toss the motor in this thing and go.

Mother fuck...this is giving me bad ideas...

PM me your price, towed to Wheeling

I still don't understand why the rear axles sit so far forward, making the tires close to the door than the rear bumper.

EDIT: On the first/2nd gens.
