This is the second time I have listed this car but this time it is way better.
I bought this car for my son a few weeks ago and then found out he was using
drugs. Well no car for him but maybe for you. After I decided to sell it and
listed it, I had several people come by to test drive it. Not knowing anything
about cars I was told that the engine was making some odd noises and that the
springs in back were bad. My wife and I didn’t feel comfortable about letting
someone else find out the hard way about this car so we decided to get it
fixed. I found this great mechanic on craigslist and he went to work. I have
found out that there is a huge problem with the SHO engines with the cam shaft
failing due to some sort of design flaw. Well we had that trouble so make sure
if you don’t buy this one that you make sure the one you do get is fixed. Mine
is now fixed.
The cam shaft has been
welded, the oil was flushed and changed. The rear harness which can
melt on these cars has been upgraded. The spark plugs have been changed with
Ford Platinum series. The upper and lower intakes have been cleaned. The rear
springs have been replaced as well as the struts. I had him fix everything I
could on the interior, such as new cup holder, new arm rest and new door pins
through out. Some of the things that didn’t need to be done that I had him do
anyway was to chain down the engine. That means that the engine is chained to
the frame so you don’t have to worry about breaking the motor mounts and also
you get a little better response when you punch on the gas. The other thing
was to upgrade the rear sway bar from the standard size to a 23mm one, which
gives you way better handling in the corners. All of the wheel well splash
guards were also replaced. He thought the brakes looked brand new and with as
much as he new about these cars I wouldn’t doubt him. I will of course give
you his number if you want to talk to him and also just to have it if you need
anything for this car or any other SHO you have. The car has 123,000 miles on
it but I kid you not it drives like new now. With the V8 engine this car
really moves and should last you a very long time. Of course it has leather
and power everything including a moon roof and 6 disc changer. The A/C blows
very cold. Please call or email if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Bill
