Good condition first year Taurus SHO that shows really well. Nearly rust free and originally a West Coast car until 2023. Odometer shows 47k miles but TMU as ODO has likely rolled over at least once possibly twice as indicated by Carfax.

Our Take:
  • First Year of the Iconic SHO — The 1989 Ford Taurus SHO marked the debut of a performance sedan that combined family-car sensibilities with a heart of pure adrenaline. The Yamaha-engineered 3.0-liter V6 under the hood was quite a surprise back then, producing 220 hp, which was considered impressive for a family sedan at the time. It's not just a car; it's a piece of automotive theater that drivers could partake in, and seeing one in such good condition is a treat for enthusiasts.
  • Manual Transmission Engagement — With a manual transmission, this Taurus SHO offers an engaging driving experience that’s increasingly rare in the world of automatic everything. The 5-speed manual gearbox is a throwback to when drivers were more than mere passengers. This model gave a sense of connection to the road that's hard to replicate today, offering an old-school thrill that can be both charming and invigorating.
  • Well-Maintained with Key Upgrades — The comprehensive maintenance and upgrades over the years speak volumes. From the new ignition switch to the suspension work and keyless lock retrofit, this vehicle has been thoughtfully cared for. The inclusion of NOS (New Old Stock) parts and a genuine Interceptor police grille add that extra layer of intrigue and detail, making it not just a maintenance piece but also a sneak peek into the era's quirky car culture.
  • West Coast Provenance — Originally a West Coast car, its near-rust-free condition highlights the benefits of that climate. It's lived a storied life from Eugene to Creswell, appreciated by a family for generations, and now it’s ready to start a new chapter. The car's condition narrates a tale of preservation—a rare gem surviving the passage of time with minimal corrosion, a significant factor for classic car collectors.
