1995 Ford Taurus SHO Description
1995 Taurus SHO SURVIVOR!
TOTALLY ALL ORIGINAL CAR!
RARE FIND! SUPER CLEAN!
ALL FACTORY ORIGINAL!
NOT AN ABUSED OR MODIFIED SHO!
This is an amazingly clean and ORIGINAL SHO!
I can NOT find ANY sign of rust or paint refinishing of ANY kind! This is a totally factory stock and unmodified SHO! It still even has the original factory floor mats! I will get to that later!
My History: I am a TOTAL Ford nut! I used to work for Ford SVO (now SVT) back in the 80's! I left them in 1991 when I began a career in Law Enforcement, retiring from NY State last June after 25+ years. We will get back to that later too! My very first car was a 1969 Mach 1 aquired when I was only 15! Yes, I am a Mustang nut too! I grew up with Shelby Mustang's and Boss 302's! My Dad just turned 80! and still loves cars! I have always had Mustangs and always wanted an SHO. I first had a 89, then a 94, then this 95. I have owned several SHO's! This SHO is by far the CLEANEST yet!)
I bought this SHO for my 22 year old Daughter. Unfortunately, my taste for Hi-Po Fords and my Daughter's desire for wanting "any car with built in Bluetooth and navigation" and my limited garage space have now caused me to sell this great SHO!
Car History: This SHO spent it's ENTIRE life in Lebanon Pennsylvania. That is in southern PA near Penn-Dutch country. They don't use harsh chemicals and salt on the roads like the rest of the Northeast. I have a 1987 Mustang GT convertible that I bring to shows, and this SHO puts my GT to shame as to it's TOTAL originality with regards to the undercarriage and overall condition. Yes it is that clean and original! This SHO was purchased locally and owned for 14 years by a gentleman who is now 77 years old. It was then sold to his neighbor who owned the SHO for 4 1/2 years who is a 59 year old female. She then sold the SHO to her niece who owned the car for a little over 2 years who then traded the SHO for a mini-van. I then purchased the SHO from a gentleman who is one of the most honest dealers I have EVER met! How do I know all this information? As I previously stated, I am a now retired Police Supervisor who has contacts with the PA State Police and the PA DOT and documented this SHO's history prior to purchase.
This SHO was given a COMPLETE PA inspection prior to sale. If you know State of PA inspection, it is a VERY detailed inspection process where it is very easy to fail. This SHO passed with "flying colors"! I have all documentation. I also have a complete Carfax that goes with the SHO.
Production History: This SHO was produced in "late" 1995 . 24 March 1995 to be exact! This is very late in production! It is 1 of 1828 of 1995 SHO's produced in "Vibrant White". I have a complete and total breakdown of production numbers which will be included with sale. This SHO has EVERY available factory option!
Options: This SHO has EVERY possible option that was available for a 1995 SHO, as per Ford:
1) Remote key-less entry
2) Electronic 4 speed automatic (Shifts like new!)
3) 6 way power driver and Passenger seats (both seats and all adjustments and lumbar work like new!)

ALL done 200 miles ago!
Oil just changed by my Ford dealer 60 miles ago when another TOTAL inspection was performed. My Master Ford Technician noted a very, very, very slight oil leak, (typical SHO!)which he said was from the front valve cover! He also found that front motor mount needed to be replaced. Motor mount was replaced by Ford and is now NEW! I do now notice how much smoother this SHO shifts and runs! My FORD tech is a total perfectionist! This SHO tracks PERFECTLY straight down the highway and is SUPER, SUPER smooth at even 80+ MPH!
I also replaced the A/C compressor and lines! A/C is ICE, ICE COLD and works PERFECTLY through ALL temperature ranges!
The Heat and all electronic controls also work PERFECTLY! Including the outside temp sensor! As I stated previously, transmission shifts like new and is STRONG! ZERO leaks! LOOK at the photo, you can "eat" off this engine! Even the battery terminals and wiring harnesses are ALL ORIGINAL! Take a good look!
Exterior: Paint is TOTALLY ORIGINAL! IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! I cannot find a single ding even on this SHO! It has 2 tiny stone chips on the leading edge of the hood and a few scratches and road chips on the lower front valance (look closely in photo) That's IT! The paint is GORGEOUS! I didn't bother to touch up as I want the new owner to see how original this SHO is!
Wheels/Tires: ALL 4 wheels are like new with ABSOLUTELY ZERO curb rash! Amazing! ALL 4 wheels are just as clean overall on the inside as well as the outside! ZERO "old" brake dust! That is how well maintained this SHO is!All 4 tires are nearly NEW! As per Ford "Report-Card"! (See ALL Photos!)
Interior: "Mocha" leather Interior is ALL original! Dash-pad is absolutely perfect! This SHO was NEVER EVER smoked in! ALL ashtrays + lighter are in NEW condition!
ALL gauges, lights,switches, all work perfectly! Steering wheel has some wear on leather from normal use but is not worn out! Drivers seat has 2 small "odd"wear marks, but is not torn.(see photo) Passenger and rear seat have no holes and overall all seats are in good condition. Passenger seat leather is a little dry. Drivers and rear seat are soft.

Title: CLEAR NY State title in my name!
Payment/Shipping: As stated and show in listing, I prefer a Bank wire transfer. If you want to pay by US Bank or personal check, that is fine
BUT, I will NOT release the title and/or the SHO until the payment is cleared! ZERO exceptions! If you are shipping the SHO, do NOT schedule a pickup date until your payment is cleared! I will advise you when we are ALL set! Sorry to be so "blunt" but remember I spent half of my life dealing with "scammers" and people who think they are "smarter" than everyone else! If you are a legitimate buyer you will clearly understand! You may leave the SHO in our garage for up to 2 weeks (14 days) as long as it is payed for in FULL!
Warranties: There are NO warranties of any kind whether expressed and/or implied. I am NOT a dealer! Car is sold AS-IS!
Please check out our feedback (mostly my wife's, as this is her account!) and you can see that I have sold a few of our Mustangs as well a few of our other Ford vehicles over the past 5+ years. I believe in 100% truth and honesty and expect the same from you! I will gladly answer any further questions you may have so feel free to ask. The SHO is in our heated garage, but due to travel and other commitments, I am not available for "test drives" and "previews"! I will NOT waste your time, do NOT waste mine! I will be listing my 87' Mustang GT next, so I am not interested in "trades", "gold", "antiques", etc! Please do NOT keep asking my reserve! If it meets my reserve it WILL be sold! If it doesn't I will list it once more! If it doesn't sell then, I will put this away in storage and keep it! YES I know I will NEVER find on this clean and original for under 10K! My reserve is much, much, much less than that!
