To get this all settled once and for all, i've e-mailed asking for the paint code from inside the door. Once they get back to me we should have an answer. I swear i've seen a SHO like that a few times before, so assumed it was legit, but it might have actually been that very car.

Ford did offer the Cobra in "Mystichrome". I don't think that SHO is factory though.



Yep, Ford had a mystic Cobra for '96. It might have been offered after that, but I remember seeing quite a few of them back in the 90's. Really cool color, as it looked almost black in low light.

edit

It looks like they brought it back for 2004. Interesting.

I've seen at least one mustang with that paint. There's also a bone stock first gen neon around here with that. I didn't realize the mustangs were that rare though.

Also, those bubbly V8 SHO Tauruses sound positively Italian with the right exhaust.

Horrible redneck video here. DO IT AGIN!

Ford will let you get just about anything you want if you order it from the factory.

I have a hard time believing anyone would do this for a Taurus. But......I've seen much worse that probably cost a lot more money so who knows.

There was someone at my work who had a '90s Windstar with that paint on it. A Windstar. Who the gently caress orders a chameleon painted Windstar?

There's something about the SHO taurses & SVT contours that make them amazing. A friend has an SVT contour and constantly gets compliments on how it sounds.

Maybe they misunderstood that it was just color changing paint and thought it would make it not look like a minivan.

We need SHOW CAR!!1 bingo:

- Screens in places and at angles they cannot possibly be watched.
- Like 8 DVD players, really?
- Awful, obnoxious 'chameleon' color.
- Paint lines do not go with body lines. I guess they were going Veyron, but the silver parts on the front fenders and doors just look like grey primer.
- Not even touching the body kit
- Yellow tinted headlights.
- Dashboard discolored.
- Terrible wheel choice, not flush at all with anything on the car.


It was just an auto, you didn't have to murder it like that. :cry:
