Still a thing of beauty





Ok... perhaps beauty isn't quite the right word. It's a black on black 1991 SHO plus. The plus package was a special option in 1991 that included things like the side badges, chrome around the windows, rear spoiler etc. A black on black plus is REALLY rare, and I managed to pick it up for $400 a couple weeks ago and drove it home. 121,000 miles, runs/drives great, full black interior is in good shape, and after $25 in cleaning supplies and about 16 hours of wetsanding and compounding it looks a tad better:






And my favorite pic...



It's a restoration project in process, but in the meantime my $400 car isn't such a turd after all

The shape of it aesthetically isn't my favorite, but it's a sho, and it looks good, especially for $400. And you did a good job on fixing it up, looks 100% better!

In the one pic it looks like the rust is all gone off of the trunk, did you replace the trunk already Chris? Also I like the police car grill, nice touch I remember what you did with that pewter Gen I, so I expect this current car to look as good if not better

The guy at the yearend bash, didn't get his name, said something about the Fusion SVT being a car for the displaced SHO owners, is this true? I heard/read somewhere that its going to use the MazdaSpeed 6 drivetrain, is this true? If so, I'll be re-joining the "family" in about 2 1/2 years. Please welcome me back with open arms as I too was "displaced"

I think Denny was talking about that. Meh... we'll wait and see. In the meantime, how 'bout a Ford 500 with the Yamaha V8 from the Volvo XC90

Alex, when did you see the car without the mirror???? Nobody was supposed to know about that

Thats another option for me Chris, but I'll take the Montego instead of the 500, HIDs and LEDs
