3 SHOs for sale.

I don't think they'll sell here but I'll test the waters.

I have 3 taurus SHOs for sale 2 91+ and a 92. $1k each for all of then, plus I have a lot of shit for them in the garage.

 

Do they run and drive?
Clean clear titles?
Are the engines complete?
Is the interior intact in all of them?
Where in TX?

 

Amarillo, TX

2 run and drive, the 3rd hasn't ran in years
Clear titles
Engine on the 3rd is mostly together

That's me. They're just sitting and I haven't worked on them in a while. I'd rather see them put to use.

 

Damn, I'm shocked these Yamaha-powered beasts haven't been snatched up...

 

I thought they had.

 

I'll admit my ignorance, but are these reliable cars in general? How about these ones specifically? Would you let your kid drive one to college, or would you take one on a 1200 mile road trip?

 

not me

 

Quite a bit of hype on these cars back in the day... and they were touted as the ultimate sleeper. Yamaha designed the twin turbo engines and was completely different from anything else Ford was producing... Fuel pump issues were notorious on these things.

Depending on who was doing the driving, altitude and intake temps these would pull 0-60 times as low as 5.2 seconds and mid-13s in the 1/4 w/o modification. A few tweaks had them running mid 4s 0-60 and 12s in the quarter (low 12s on cheater slicks). Top speed on these was governed at 143mph. I know these days that's not super impressive, but in the early 90's they were running as good or better than the 5.0 mustangs.

My guess is that OP was planning on using the 3 vehicles to create one full build, and I'm thinking that's the spirit of what he's trying to sell here. An interesting project for someone to tinker with... the image below is of the original design TTV6, but I think the new SHOs are V8s



This was the first video that popped up... as an example:

I think this one is a 2014... Canadian version running 3.9 0-60s

That's all well and good, but my question was more specifically related to the ones he is selling more than the SHO in general. I do appreciate the info, though.

 

Also they were normally aspirated not turbo.

 

Nope. I had 2 people back down after saying they wanted the whole lot.

They're not not a Toyota or Honda, ill put it that way. I've been left on the side of the road more than once. I've got the top one to where it's good for around town. I probably wouldn't risk a college kid in it. Plus it's got solid subframe bushings, solid motor mounts, subframe connectors, and the AC doesn't work. Definitely not a daily for the faint of heart.

 

That's the 10-19 SHO. Mines the 3.0 yamaha built for another car, but made it into the taurus. Mid to low 7 0-60(when new), mid 15 1/4 mile. It was a great sleeper when introduced. Now it gets outran by new minivans.

 

during panhandlemonium we took one to breakfast, i thought it ran pretty good. Really brought back some 90's beater nostalgia.

 

Fast.
Reliable.
Cheap.


Now pick 2.

Jk they were picked for you already.

Fast for their time and what they are.
Cheap asking price.

 

I did have a 2010 SHO. Got this on the 44 turnpike.......I mean in mexico.



Ni idea why everything went all wavy. This was on a phone in 2016.

 

Warp speed, duh.

 

That checks out

 

Oh... well damn!!!! I'll just see myself out then....

Carry on people
