Our Take:
- First Year of the Iconic SHO: The 1989 Ford Taurus SHO marks the debut of Ford's Super High Output (SHO) line—a sleeper sedan with a performance twist. The Yamaha-designed 3.0L V6 engine under the hood was a marvel for its time, making the SHO a true wolf in sheep's clothing. It set a benchmark for mixing family car practicality with unexpected performance.
- Manual Transmission Enthusiast's Dream: Equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission by Mazda, this Taurus SHO offers an engaging driving experience that’s becoming rare in today's automatic-driven landscape. This isn't just a car; it's an invitation to enjoy the lost art of manual gear shifting.
- Diligently Maintained and Modestly Driven: With only 65,555 miles on the odometer and recent maintenance like a new timing belt and front-end work, this SHO is well-preserved. It's not just about how far it’s driven but how well it’s been cared for—making it an enticing find for collectors.
- Endearing Quirks and Personalization Options: Although it has a finicky coolant sensor and a slight exhaust leak, these quirks add character to this automotive classic. With two sets of wheels and a blend of modern (CarPlay) and vintage (cassette deck) audio options, it’s ready to cater to both tech lovers and nostalgia seekers.
