Description (revised)
 
   We are selling this 1997 Ford SHO Taurus for an executive of a local trucking corporation. He purchased this vehicle in July of 2002 with 42K miles on it and has owned it ever since. The company he works for has an automotive service department. I know the shop foreman quite well and he has assured me that they maintained this car and kept everything up to "par". That includes new brakes, rotors, pads, lines etc., new front end and steering parts when needed, regular oil and fluid changes, and even a rebuilt transmission about 2 years ago.

  Last week, the engine failed. The mechanic told me that it probably either jumped time or broke a camshaft. The bottom end is good, and the other side of the motor is good, too. If you disconnect the spark plugs on the one bank, the motor still runs on 4 cylinders. You can actually drive the car, though I sure wouldn't drive it very far.

  The engine is a Yamaha assembled 32 valve Duratec 207ci V8 with an output of 235HP and a factory rated top speed of 143 mph. So, if you want a project car that will be loads of fun to drive when finished... well, here it is.

  Paint and finish are still pretty good. (What you see on it, in the pictures, is snow). Would really come back with a good buff. There is some rust around the lower section (see pics) but it is minimal, and could be taken care of pretty effortlessly. Overall, the body is good. No dings, dents, or crinkles.

  Sunroof works well and does not leak. Interior is still good. Leather seats are nice, so is the headliner, door panels, dash panels, etc. Carpets are not excessively worn but could stand a good cleaning. All the trunk needs is a vacuum.

  Equipment includes all power options: windows, door locks, power driver's seat, tilt wheel, cruise control, A/C, power sunroof, leather seats, AM-FM Cassette w/ Mach sound system, 4 wheel disc brakes, factory aluminum mag wheels, dual exhaust.

  Miles are 83,678.

 
  This  SHO Taurus is going to make someone an awesome car for a small amount of money and a little TLC!
