Super High Output: 1993 Ford Taurus SHO
I saw the photos for this next car and was enchanted by the deep red paint. And I was truly hoping from the deepest pit in my heart that the interior pics would reveal a stick shift…but alas…this second generation Taurus SHO was one of the few that left the factory without a pedal for your left foot…and I don’t see why you’d want to drive this thing. It is slower and less reliable than something like a late model Acura TSX sedan or any number of other front-drive sedans with slushboxes and basic accommodations…but the manual transmission version brings with it all the charisma, joie de vivre, and analog goodness that comes with life with a manual. Why do all the clean ones have to be autotragic? Find this 1993 Ford Taurus SHO offered for $5500 in Phoenix, AZ via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Great car. These engines are bullet proof as well.
Rock- nice find.
I had a ’91 SHO. Great fun and fast car. Too many mechanical problems, though.
I can’t believe that they started installing automatics in them. Of course, as soon as they did, they outsold manuals.
