Today' post is on one of the biggest sleepers that the world has ever seen...
...the Ford Taurus SHO! The old SHO, like the new one, can be difficult to distinguish from the average Taurus at a quick glance, but underneath that mundane plastic body is a true beast of a V6. That takes this wolf in sheep's clothing from zero to sixty in 7.3 seconds and up to a theoretical top speed of 144. That may not sound impressive in a world of car companies advertising 300 horsepower V6s, but for the mid 1990s it was the absolute cutting edge. This model is better regareded in general than, say, the Beretta Z-26 that I made an earlier post on, so I can't call it unusual that an enthusiast would buy one, but it is unusual to find one in prestine condition, as is this one. It's a 1995 model, and aside from a slightly worn front seat and an aftermarket cd player, it is totally original and preserved. It's listed for $2500 on Kansas City Craigslist, here's the link:

This happens to be one of the most talked-about models of the 1990s, and so therefore it is somewhat safe to say that these stand a chance to become real collectors' items in a few years. And until then, you can throw on a pancho and head down to the local parking lot for a day of inline skating in true 1990s fashion- just so long as you can still remeber how to use inline skates...
