I'm not a Ford guy by any stretch but a manual SHO gives me a raging car boner. Even if they were crap cars (which I'd say they weren't) you have to give Ford major props for producing that thing, especially in that era. Just on a major corporation, business level, that kind of poo poo is like whipping out your brass balls in the town square and daring people to kick em.

Does a bear split in the woods near Zheleznogorsk?

This part isn't actually true. They introduced the automatic for 93 (with a 3.2L version of the V6) but they were sold alongside each other for the remainder of that gen.

Interesting...did they actually sell any? I don't think I've actually ever seen one newer than like 89.

Yeah, they sold several. Heck, along with my 95 MTX also had a 94 auto in Artic Frost which was a rare color. The 3.2 was slightly different. Had a hydraulic tensioner which allowed 100K timing belt changes.

The early 89-90? had a cable shifter then they moved to a rod shifter which was much better. It was a common mod to make.

You can spot 94 and newer because the door handles and mirrors are body colored.

In 93 Ford built 17,486 3.2/AOD SHOs vs 4099 3.0/Manual cars. For 95 the split was 7,529/2,038. Oddly I haven't had any luck turning up split numbers for the 94.

I already own a cheap German car (LCI e61) thankyouvermuch. I'm good on the Benz. Plus, even though I live in NY, it's like 250 miles from me, and I'm not up for schlepping the thing upstate.

I just saw it and figured it'd make some noise in this thread. There's gotta be some money in a partout though. Does Kimbo305 still have his s65?

I was thinking similar, props for actually making the interior look different than the donor car.

the proportions are all kinds of wrong though, like those enzo kit cars that made the rounds decades ago.

loving yikes. Well built but that's a lot of custom work and money for a not lambo. I want to know how you shift the auto, I don't see buttons or a gear stick anywhere.

I too thought it would be a fiero. But fake engine with pipes into quarter panels is even better. Easy to change cabin air filter. :v:

Up until yesterday I thought the Hyundai SUV was called Tuscon, kind of like Tuscany. It took until I saw a review of it where the author also misspelled it like that and a comment called him out.

In my defense I never even owned one.

The number of people selling cars with one lovely picture is astounding. Almost no one bothers to fill in most of the info so I'm digging through tons of listing because you can't trust the automatic/manual descriptor. Good luck to you if you ask for a VIN, options list or window sticker.
