It looks like the wiring under the bonnet that got singed is mostly body wiring which should be a straight plug-and-play from any high-spec standard Taurus. Even the damaged engine wiring loom should be a plug-and-play part that might still be available from Ford or through other SHO fans. The SHO was a pretty special car, a US hot-shoe saloon/sedan in the quick BMW/Audi mould, and as somebody said below this was the last year for the screaming Yamaha-built engine. With the amount of love there is around and increasing for the early SHOs it should be a no-brainer to save this one. It even looks pretty rust-free which is pretty unusual with those and the chassis-related European Mondeo (1st generation) which went rusty in proper old Ford style. It's a shame we didn't get these cars in Europe, I'm sure they'd have sold a ton more than they did...
@MXguy957 жыл бұрын
I wish you had got them in Europe. Its a neat car. I wish they had offered a v8 in this body style.
@gosportjamie7 жыл бұрын
+Jay Smart Yes, the first couple of generations of the Taurus SHO (Super High Output) with the Yamaha engine were very highly regarded by the road testers. It would have been cool if they'd used a V8 in it but I think the idea was to prove that it was possible to make a fast American sedan that was more economical than those with a with the traditional V8. This is definitely a classic of the future and if it follows the path of fast Fords in Europe it will be worth a shed load of money if it survives. This is probably the closest the US got to it's own Sierra Cosworth, though it's probably fair to say that a good SHO manual is a little quicker than the standard Cossie...

I had a 93’, I loved it. My only issue was the cost to keep it on the road. Premium gas only, otherwise you get the the “knock”. Then the early automatic transmissions where notoriously weak, I went through one. Also, with the dual overhead cam? The positioning censor would fail, causing the car to shut off without notice. If you were lucky, you might only sit for a minute and the car would restart, otherwise you could be there for 20-30 min before it would restart. Your mom and pop mechanics hate working on these cars, but your dealers love seeing them at the bay doors ($$). I had a great time with mine, while I had it.

I bought a leftover green ‘95 SHO 5-speed manual trans. new at the end of the ‘95 model year. Problems with the engine shutting off for no apparent reason while driving. Dealer couldn’t find the problem. I sold it in ‘98 since I couldn’t deal with the defect anymore. Racked up some expensive tickets while I had it because I didn’t realize how fast I was going. After I sold it, a Ford recall notice came out about the engine stall problem.
