Mike the only thing I can think of is there are a few pictures and an
artists rendering of a modded Gen 4 Taurus. I have them and can send
them to you if you'd like. It was built by Rousche if I remember
correctly, ala the Rage concept car. It was a sky blue color, had huge
wheels, low to the ground and had custom made headlights. According to
the spec sheet it had a blown 3.0 in it, but supposedly under the hood
was completely stock.
