Our Take:
- A Yamaha Heartbeat: The 1990 Ford Taurus SHO is renowned for its unique engine collaboration with Yamaha—a 3.0-liter V6 that pumps out 220 horsepower. This little powerhouse was unusual at the time for a sedan, combining American muscle with Japanese precision. It’s a bit like watching a classic rock band collab with a J-Pop star—unexpected and delightfully effective.
- Manual Magic: This Taurus comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, a rarity even back then for a car in its class, and it's something drivers like to brag about at car meets. The gear-shifting experience connects the driver to the road, making it feel almost like you're piloting a sports car rather than a family sedan.
- Garage Queen Status: Having been garaged for the last 25 years with maintenance records available, this particular Taurus SHO presents itself as a well-preserved specimen. A single-owner history often suggests careful stewardship, adding a dash of romance to its past—and future.
- A Sedan with Sports Car Aspirations: While 'acceleration almost like a Ferrari' might be a tad optimistic, the Taurus SHO was indeed fast and steady, living up to its Super High Output moniker. It stood out as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, offering performance that turned family rides into thrilling drives.
