The aluminum Sables were a special experiment by ALCOA. Ford did not commission them.  Those bodies were worth megabucks!

Uh, I thought that what was noteworthy about experimental Sables was that at 
least some of them were aluminum (or part aluminum) body shells.  When one 
of them visited UW-Madison a few years ago*, my magnet didn't stick to it. 
Can anyone confirm any of this?  Were the Bondurant Sables steel, and the 
Aluminum Sables a totally separate project?

guess you don't care about that.   : )

...In fact the Sable SHOs required some real string pulling to get all the 
parts to build them. Motors were req for Taurus platforms. The cars were 
built by Rousch (I saw the 92s I think, in progress there in Livonia) all of 
them were white to start with as I recall. The Sable required they take a 
car off the line and plug in the cradle of the Taurus...
