Ford Taurus SHO 1991 Stage IV No reserve

Ford Taurus SHO 1991 Black with Mocha interior.  I am being deployed over
seas with the military and I need to sell my SHO.  My loss is your gain.
This auction has no reserve and the winner will have himself or herself a
perfect GEN I with the best of every modification available for a SHO.  This
SHO is one of the ultimate natural aspirated SHO's in the US.  Prior to the
installation of the long tube headers, this SHO made 235HP at the wheels
which translates into around 280-285HP from the engine.   I have not had the
SHO on the dyno since the installation of the headers, but I expect power
output to be between 245HP and 250HP at the wheels which makes this a true
300+HP SHO. 

VIN number 1FACP54Y7MA248130

The odometer currently reads 80,900 miles, but the car actually has over
180,000 miles on it.  Almost everything on the drive train has been replaced
within the last 25,000 miles.

Ownership history of the SHO.  First owned by Don Donnellson from Florida
then by Phil Sanford of Ohio.  I purchased this SHO at the 2003 SHO
convention.  I have only changed the oil once because I have driven it less
than 2000 miles and the SHO has been garaged at all times.  All work on the
SHO has been professional done.  References are available for questions and
inquiries about the work done on this SHO.

I am willing to deliver the SHO within 1000 miles of zip code 50265 for 10
cents a mile to and from your garage.  If you live within 100 miles of I-80
between Des Moines, IA and Pittsburgh, PA, delivery will be FREE.  I am
willing to meet anyone that lives over 1000 miles from me at the 1000 miles
mark to deliver the SHO.  I can discuss other options before the end of the
auction.

If you have any questions, please e-mail me at ericwieland@hotmail.com 
My screen name on www.SHOforum.com is speedy91.  I have many more pictures
of this SHO available if you would like to view them.

I expect 10% of the total due 5 days after the close of the auction and the
balance upon delivery of the SHO in the form of a certified form of payment
such as a money order or cashiers check.  If you pay the down payment
through Paypal, please add 3% to the down payment for Paypal charges.

Please be patient with me on returning e-mails.  I am very busy right now
trying to balance my professional career and my new military
responsibilities.  I will do my best to provide timely information.  My cell
phone number is available if you have questions that can not be answered
over e-mail.
