Vehicle Detail
It is with much sadness and a heavy heart that I mourn the passing of my beloved SHO. After 14+ years and 145K miles of epic transportation, she succumbed to a diff pin casualty. The transmission is toast.Vitals:’95 SHO MTX with 175K miles, green with tan interior. I am the second owner, bought it in ’97 when it had ~30k. I have religiously changed oil every 2500, except for a couple of coast-to-coast drives (military moves) where it went ~3k. At 2500 miles, the oil is still yellow and still full on the stick. The engine is tight.Just tuned it up 500 miles ago. New plugs, belts, thermostat, cam sensor – even some new wipers. New CPS and timing belt last year/10k ago.Recent radiator and top/bottom hoses (3 yrs/25k miles ago)I installed a “SHO Shop Power Stage II” package on it in ’02. Goodies are underdrive pulleys, 80mm MAF, chip, hi-flo y-pipe, larger butterflies and K&N filter. Since that time, I’ve averaged 25mpg daily and 30-ish mpg on interstate drives.All body panels are good/excellent. No rust except for a small paint bubble on the driver door – a spot that was touched up by the original owner. All glass is good, windshield has one or two chips.Interior is rough. The seats are ripped; after years in SOCAL, the VA winters led to cracks in the leather. Headliner is also rough. Carpet is good.Bottom line – this has been a daily driver and well cared for. All it needs is a transmission, but I do not have the time (or spare funds) to tackle the project. I am moving back to SOCAL this spring, so sadly I must part ways with the Green Machine.
