This is an original owner and first year of production 1989 Ford Taurus SHO with only 48,300 miles on it. The car has not been a regular driver for close to ten years however it was regularly started up to about two years ago. It would be a great restoration project, or possibly a parts car if someone is interested in the major components such as the drivetrain.
Here's what we believe the car needs -- a new fuel pump, battery, tires and hood lifts. Coupled with a fresh paint job and some detailing TLC this car is just waiting for it's next life to begin. The SHO engine and transmission combination alone makes this a very desirable car, especially given it was the first year for the SHO model.

Full original specs are listed below. The car has a clean title and is being sold as-is with no warranty. Please contact me via e-mail with any questions; the owner's contact information will be provided according.
