As my wife and I play musical chairs looking to thin the herd a bit, this one may not find a seat when the music stops. We got it to use as an HPDE/track day learning tool for my wife and older son, as well as teach my younger one to drive stick. As we mapped out our summer, we're realizing that HPDE/track days are going to be scarce. Between work, LeMons racing and some other things we have going on, just not sure we'll get enough use out of it. If nobody buys it, we'll hold onto it and track it when we can. I figured I'd offer it up to the GRM folks at sub-Challenge price, as it has great potential for that.
Here's the CL ad link. https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/d/dallas-1994-ford-taurus-sho-one-owner/7492628836.html
TL;DR summary from the ad - I bought it from the original owner, full paperwork since new. Runs/drives quite well. Has 300k miles on chassis and 110k on engine. Given age/mileage, it has...character. Both rockers are rusting (added lightness for racing). Interior is so-so (though a/c, windows, etc...work), and a few other quirks.
$1900 for GRM family
In reply to SKJSS (formerly Klayfish) :
The red paint is just faded & oxidized right, it's not actually Sunrise Red?
Yeah, the lighting in the picture wasn't the greatest. The paint is fading/oxidizing in spots, such as the front bumper, rear spoiler. A lot of the body paint actually shines up quite nicely and looks sharp. Here is a picture of it shined up on the trailer before it got to me.

Oh good, you just saved me from temptation. I'm not sure they ever offered an SHO in Sunrise Red, but it would definitely be worthy of restoration if they did.
Is this one Gumby brought to the Challenge in 2019?
In reply to maschinenbau :
Nope his was older and darker red

No, until I got it this car had been with its' original owner.
If anyone in Florida wants this, I could deliver it (or at least be close) on Saturday. I'm heading down to Davenport, FL tomorrow night and could use an extra car to bring down as I have a lot of E36 M3 to transport and it won't all fit in one car.
Still looking to re-home this car. $1700
Open to offers, or trade for a 6 pack of soda...I don't drink alcohol. Ohhhh, even better find me the ever elusive caffeine free diet Mountain Dew.
OK, not going to trade it for soda, but I do want the damn thing out of my driveway. Much more willing to flex for a GRMer than I would for a CL moron.
