Pay attention to hooking the tires embedded in as corner protection like a dirt track driver, and some of the wild pit scenes. :)

These were some exciting races, no wonder it is still considered the peak of stock car racing.

From James Casselton, the son of our late great friend from the northwest, Christina Casselton: "We are moving in less than two weeks and have been looking for a resource to help us sell the car to someone who would care about it. The car belonged to my late mother Christina Casselton who I know was very involved in your group. The only reason we are selling it is because I was offered a job and shipping it there is quite expensive. I do appreciate your help, and look forward to hearing back from you. James Casselton"

95' Taurus SHO $2500obo

Very nice 95 Taurus SHO with all the power options, incl. PW, PL, Climate control, Leather, Power Driver and Passenger seats, Sunroof and more. It has just under ♦140,000 miles. Well maintained. Mobil 1 oil changes, nice Dunlop tires, Tokico struts all around, 96' SHO front brake upgrade, larger rear sway bar. Some paint blemishes. Well kept example of a true sleeper car. Runs very smooth and quick. Please email with any questions (meanassmini@comcast.net). We are moving and are motivated to sell.

Jay Leno owner of that infamous SHOGun, is on our side!! Those nice low mileage SHO's will eventually be worth something big according to Jay Leno and the Examiner.

"He also stressed that vehicles like the Ford Taurus SHO, which aren’t likely to catch the attention of the average Joe in a parking lot, will eventually become sought after for their technologically advanced performance capabilities. He related his views now to the fact that vehicles from the 40s and 50s which were not considered “special” have become the hardest to find in good shape BECAUSE no one bought them just to put them away. A 2011 Corvette is likely to be purchased and put in a garage, only to be driven on nice days but the Ford Taurus SHO is more likely to be a daily driver. This causes obvious mileage differences in the two vehicles and in 50 years, that low mileage Corvette will be one of many where a clean, low mileage 2010 SHO will be harder to find, thus creating a collector’s market."

The only question remaining is how long do we have to wait?

Everyone,

This convention was a kind of mixed bag for me, the last convention I plan on being in any sort of lead position, and in actuality, this was my son Ken's first convention AS the lead in charge. But I still fretted and worried till I got to Dearborn on Sunday. As recently as 30 days ago, we were at about 60 cars. The late registrations and walk-in's put us right at 100 cars and we had a good turnout to present to the many Ford people that helped and participated.......
