You are bidding on a 1996 Ford Taurus SHO with 61000 original miles. This is a very original unmodified car purchased new and currently owned by an 83 year old elderly woman. Car is loaded with all factory options including CD Changer and Moonroof. First year for the 3.4L HO V8 engine. Car has been maintained regularly by same mechanic since new. All maintenance is up to date including fairly recent Toyo tires. Car has never been in a major collision but does have some minor bumps and bruises on bumper covers, right ¼ panel etc. Car has very minimal if any rust. Very Solid. See detailed pictures for any troubled areas. There may have been some minor paint repair in the past as you would expect from an elderly owned vehicle but nothing major. Interior: Original very clean and never smoked in. All options function as they should without and warning lights on dash. Power Moonroof does function but seems to bind slightly when closing and needs a little help. DOES NOT LEAK! Overall this is a very nice example of a low mileage collectible automobile. Car runs, drives, and operates as it should. These SHO models are fairly hard to find with such low mileage and unmodified. Please bid accordingly. Car is offered at “NO RESERVE”. Please bid accordingly. Vehicle has a clear, clean title in original owner’s name showing purchased new. As with any vehicle on E-Bay, I encourage potential buyer to ask any questions before placing a bid. Once a bid is placed you are expected to complete the transaction. I have represented this vehicle as fairly and honestly as possible and do welcome personal viewing with 24 hours notice in the NW suburbs of Chicago.Full payment must be made within 7 days of auction close in the form of Cash or Wire Transfer only. No scammers please. Any additional questions or to arrange a personal inspection, please contact Don at 630/674-4067. Good Luck! Specs. below were copied from an SHO website!
