We spotted this 1993 Ford Taurus SHO on eBay in October 2022, offered by a dealer. We didn’t record the asking price, but we keep the listing on file because clean second-generation SHOs are getting scarce, and photos of a good one are useful when you are judging another.
What this car was
A dark green four-door sedan photographed indoors in a showroom alongside other collector cars. The old write-up claimed the SHO only came in black. The photos show otherwise, and Ford offered the car in several colors. The paint, lights and wheels all look clean, and the body sits straight.
Inside, the tan leather sport seats with their deep side bolsters look barely worn, with no splits on the driver’s seat bolster, which is usually the first place an SHO interior shows its age. The dealer listed:
- 3.2-liter V6
- Automatic transmission
- Clean title
The automatic matters here. For 1993 Ford finally offered the SHO with an automatic, paired with a 3.2-liter version of the Yamaha V6. Manual cars kept the 3.0-liter. Enthusiasts tend to prefer the five-speed, but the automatic opened the car up to many more buyers and is the more common version from these years.

A little Taurus SHO history
SHO stands for Super High Output. Ford launched it for 1989 as a performance version of the front-drive Taurus, with a high-revving V6 built by Yamaha. The second generation arrived for 1992 with new body panels, and the SHO kept its own front bumper, fog lights and sport seats. A V8 replaced the Yamaha V6 in the third generation from 1996, and that SHO ended in 1999. The name came back from 2010 to 2019 on a twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive Taurus. The old version of this page mixed these generations up and claimed a V8 and a six-speed for 1993, which was never offered.
