Ah, the SHO Taurus. Ford’s answer to, er, well who knows what Ford was answering when it cranked out this thing. The first generation Taurus suffered from a serious case of the uglies, made worse by the kind of get up and go you’d expect from an asthmatic goat. The front wheel drive situation didn’t help matters either. Fortunately, Ford has a habit of taking some seriously crappy vehicles and at least making them a blast to drop the hammer on. Case in point: the 230 horse, longitudinally mounted V6 in the nose of the SHO. For perspective, the Vette of the era only laid down 245 ponies. Yeah. Plenty of torque steer, a transmission that holds up about as well as wet toilet paper and a ‘bitchin’ University of Tennessee license plate could be yours, sans keys, for $300. She needs a tranny, but that’s nothing some junkyard time couldn’t fix. Stolen? Maybe, but it’d make one helluva contender at any one of the upcoming LeMons competitions. Do I smell a team Shogun, complete with plastic Samuri swords? If only, Fiends. If only. [Source: Craigslist]
