So after not being on here in awhile. ive just been busy with other stuff, nothing exciting i can tell you that though lol. Anyways, i was looking for a daily driver for about 2 months, with a sho in mind. After driving all over the place an looking at several cars, i bought a 94 opal frost sho last week. Ive decided that since i have another car that this is the time to sell the mustang. As soon as that sells, ill buy a notch, maybe a 4 cyl an do what i want with it. Ive wanted a notch for years now. guess its that time!...oh an heres a couple pics i had of the sho. heres the deal with it...

94 opal frost with grey leather, loaded. dings here an there but in good shape. paint cleans up nice but deff needs a good buff job. i bought it knowing it needed a few things like a speed sensor, cam sensor, secondary solenoid and a trans eventually. it has the 96 brake upgrade and all new calipors, brake lines an rotors. 163k miles on it an the motor is spotless inside. oh and luckily my uncle has a sho junkyard so i got a rebuilt trans for $250, which will be goin in the next few weeks. think it was worth it for under $1500 total investment? :lol:

I had a 91, it was a fun comfy car but too finiky, the engine was strong but I kept blowing up clutches and finally ate up the case and sold it. If Ford just put a better driveline in them they would be rock solid!
 
i am on shoforum. an yes alot of parts they dont make anymore an stopped making before they stopped producing them. this is the 2nd gen and usually there not to good handling wise but my uncles a into sho's an has the better handling first gen (90 or 91) an said its pretty tight an the brakes are amazing compared to stock garbage. i deff like it being auto so i can just get in an go an be lazy lol. apparently the main mechanical issues are the crank an cam sensors, waterpumps and the 60k service which will be done to mine when i do the trans even though it runs fine as is, ill be under there an bearings are only $50 lol. ill probably end up doin a couple bolt ons just to get it up there closer to stick cars that my brother, uncle an friend have. but so far no problems aside from what was known with the trans. ive drivin it close to 800 miles already since last monday lol
 
start playing with that thing a little and it will out run your stang.... Along with the 97 I had a 92 Emrald green with black leather. did a 3.2 swap, SHOshop stage 2 cams, extrude hone ported intake and heads, quailfe LSD (EXPENSIVE), centeforce clutch, custom axleshafts, tokico springs, 13" brembo's 17" OZ 5 spoke wheels (back in 01 those were the wheels to get), bigger MAF, 24lb injectors TwEECer, borla exhaust. thing ran 13's all day spinning the tires. Missed a payment on the loan out against it, and the Bank president repo'd it and bought out the loan on it. It still sits in his garage to this day. I have wanted to whip his a$$ for years because of that car....

Moral of the story.. pay your car payments or a douchbag bank president will take your SHO for himself... ( I know you paid cash for it... was making a funny)
 
yea ive heard it all from my uncle, who has owned sho's since like 12 years ago or so. luckily mine has a new starter too lol. noticed that when i did the oil change. the alt may be sooner then later as i put my stereo system from the mustang in it. alt doesnt seem to like it much, i need a capacitor asap!
 
Nice one Tyler, I kept seeing that thing on Craigslist and it was tempting...the guy seemed like he was pretty cool too really cared about his cars he has a really nice F100 flareside that he advertises for sale alot too.

By the way, text me I got a new phone and lost your # haha
 
did you buy a mustang yet or what? ill sell you mine lol. tryin to get rid of it. and the car was to cheap to not buy, knowing my uncle has every part i needed other then a couple sensors that are cheap an normal people would buy new anyways ha
