1993 Ford Taurus in Umpqua, Oregon

xxxx FORD TAURUS GL
My car was built: from the ground up back in xxxx. We tore the car down to the bare unibody and spent 9 months building what you see now. The car has only 17,000 miles on it over the last 9 years and was driven only in the summer months. It was mostly taken to car shows, cruise nights, show and shines etc... I have a little over $23,000 into the car since it was built and have all receipts and records from day one. There are only a couple very minor things that are not show ready about my car - #1 the roof clear coat is peeling like almost all early '90's Ford's and #2 the digital clock in the car does not work - Everything else about the car is pretty much show ready. This car is fast and a blast to drive - It is by far the most highly modified standard Taurus GL on the planet - This car even has 3 or 4 things that even the highest modified SHO's in the world do not have - x-member, coilovers etc... - $4,995 OBO
