Picked up a 1993 Car & Driver magazine containing an article about a one-off
SHO wagon built for C&D by Ford.  3.2L with auto, crimson on mocha, one-off
rear bumper, just a lovely car.  Sleek, luxurious, gorgeous.  Ah, fresh
inspiration.  I am more convinced than ever that a SHO wagon with 3.2L
conversion and MTX is just the thing for me.

The C&D article mentioned Ford engineers reinforcing the wagon's unibody in
3 or 4 places.  I take it that none of the private individuals who have done
SHO wagons have delved into this.  I could maybe go for subframe connectors,
that's it.

My 94 wagon came with 112K on a drivetrain I'm about to drop --- subframe,
3.8L engine, auto, harness, computer, and all.  I'll be hoping to recoup a
few shillings by selling the lot.  Any idea of a fair price to ask?  I don't
expect a windfall, just wondering.
