Thanks for stopping to take a look at my auction! I have up for sale, my 1993 Ford Taurus SHO. I would assume most of you viewing this, already know what this car is, and for the rest of you, this is a Taurus on Steroids!!! These cars are getting harder to find, let alone in this condition, and will only appreciate in value.

Finished in Deep Jewel Green that shows well for the age with Black leather, this is 1 of only 545 examples produced in this color combination. With just 107,XXX miles, it is also a rare survivor!!!

It starts, runs and shifts all gears like it should. Started in -20 weather this winter with no problems. There are no dash warning lights on. This was my dream car since I was younger, and a new daughter has completely changed my priorities. Adult driven and owned, there have been no performance enhancements. It's just like you would have got it from Ford 21 years ago. I am listing this with no reserve as I cannot afford to keep it, and hope the new owner will treat this car the way it deserves.

As many SHO models are, this vehicle is loaded with power options.

Including but not limited to:

Power Windows

Power Locks

Cruise Control

Automatic Climate Control (Unit was replaced with the 95 hard button EATC) so no broken buttons many of these cars have.

AM/FM CD with JBL premium sound. (Subwoofer speaker was also replaced)

Automatic Dimming Lights

Power Moonroof

Power Seats with Lumbar and Bolster Support.

Remote Keyless Entry

Keypad Keyless Entry

Rear Defrost

This interior in this car is VERY CLEAN for the age. The seats show very little signs of wear. 3 of the original floor mats are included (lost drivers side) As a known problem with these cars, the EATC had been replaced with the '95 hard button model (no broken buttons!!) Also, due to time and age, the factory JBL subwoofer had been replaced with a new Pyle woofer, and sounds great! All power options also work. The power moonroof is a little slow, but I do have a new motor that will be included with the sale.

The exterior is clean as well, with the exception of a tiny amount of surface rust and some light scrapes on the right rear quarter panel. (Local Bodyman Quoted me $300 to fix)

BRAND NEW tires were just installed with tie rod ends and rear struts. The car has not been aligned since, and that's something that new buyer would want done, along with front struts in the near future.

I am adding alot of pictures, since they can tell so much more than I can. If anyone has questions, please Ask the Seller a Question on eBay, or you can contact me @ 712-579-4016

Shipping is responsibility of the new buyers, however I can either work with a shipping company or contact me for a rate to your location. If you would like to fly in and drive it home, I can also arrange to pick you up. Omaha, NE Des Moines,IA and Sioux City, IA are fairly close airports.

Clear title for this car

I am very hesitant to sell this, however I cannot afford to licence and insure so many vehicles.

New car market raining on convertibles' parade

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.

Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang appears at EAA Oshkosh

Sat, 26 Jul 2014

Ford is back at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, WI, on July 31 auctioning off its seventh Mustang for charity, and this is one seriously mean looking 2015 'Stang. All of the money from the sale goes to give free introductory flights to young people to get them interested in aviation.
We recently saw this latest EAA Mustang as a sketch. However, it looks a whole lot more menacing in person. Dubbed the Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang, it takes liberal inspiration from Lockheed Martin's latest fighter jet, and the customization makes the pony car look ready for a role in Top Gun.
On the outside, the special Mustang wears titanium-color paint that's offset by a black and yellow stripe running from hood to rear. Out back things get really wild with a mix of bright yellow and black that flows diagonally all the way to the rear spoiler. The design is based on the livery of early production F-35s. If the rousing color scheme isn't enough to get you interested, the car also gets a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, lowered suspension and a set of custom 21-inch wheels with yellow brake calipers.

2015 Ford Focus

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.
