Ford Taurus SHO
Chevrolet SS Priced At $44,470
Chevrolet has announced pricing on the highly anticipated SS sedan ahead of its on-sale date in late 2013. The single trim level (a departure for Chevy) starts at $44,470. That price is mildly misleading, though, as Chevy’s announcement indicated that the 6.2-liter, V-8-powered sedan will be subject to a Federal gas guzzler tax. The exact cost this adds hasn’t been determined yet.
Hennessey Tunes A Pair Of Blue Oval Sleepers
Enter the delightful maniacs at Hennessey, makers of the ballistic Venom GT and tuners extraordinaire. The team at Hennessey has turned its wrenches towards the Taurus SHO and MKS, and delivered a pair of all-wheel-drive rockets that are sure to wow unassuming Mopar drivers.

Today we show you around the 2013 Ford Taurus SHO.
Driven: 1974 Triumph TR6
The open-top TR6 was fairly blissful to pilot over a 20-minute jaunt. Sure, the fact that your author’s head protruded over the delicate windscreen frame by a good three inches wasn’t ideal (though his hair looked really rockabilly upon return), but the summary feeling of our driving impressions is an overwhelmingly positive one.
Rumors: Spy Shots—Are You The New Impala SS?
The spy photographers over at Autoblog recently snapped this intriguing photo of what appears to be the next Chevrolet Impala SS.
Flip This Car: Archive
We love Christopher Smith’s way with words, with old cars, and with the combination of the two. Flip This Car is a series that Chris has been writing, and we’ve all been enjoying for quiet some time now.
With a brand new installment of FTC just starting, and many more sure to be headed our way over upcoming months and years, we wanted to make sure that the total FTC saga had a permanent home here on Winding Road.
Be sure to bookmark this page if you’re as big a car-flipping fan as we are, and we’ll be sure to update it just as often as new content becomes available.
Got questions, ideas, or cars to buy/sell for Mr. Smith? Be sure to write all in the comments section below. (Including, but not limited to, any and all lovable but barely streetable pieces of near-crap that you may want to see Flipped!)
Quick Drive: 2011 Dodge Charger R/T
When I wrote my review of Dodge Charger, I pretty much raved about everything in this new car being better than the one it replaces. Except for the engine. The Pentastar V-6 just felt underwhelming in the Charger. Thankfully, our tester was fitted with a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, which cures virtually all the Charger’s accelerative ills.
First Look: 2013 Ford Taurus Range
Since its debut as a 2010 model, the Ford Taurus has brought the Blue Oval back into the large sedan segment in a way it hasn’t enjoyed in almost two decades. To keep the Taurus from getting stale, the 2013 model gets the traditional mid-cycle refresh.
The Stig, In Pumpkin Form
Winding Road contributor Chris Smith (“Flip This Car,” “Secondhand Gems”) showed us this jack-o-lantern, burning bright with the image of The Stig, from BBC’s Top Gear. Carved by an unnamed friend of Mr. Smth, it sure looks spooky in front of that Ford Taurus SHO.
Quick Drive: 1989 Ford Taurus SHO
Chris Smith stopped by the WR office after the SHO convention last week. He was kind (foolish) enough to let me take my first ever test drive of a gen-one SHO, and I’m glad he did.
Flip This Car: 1989 Ford Taurus SHO — Part Three
I may have mentioned before that this rusty, red 1989 Taurus isn’t my first SHO. It may be a sport sedan with a spiffy engine, but I’ve been made aware (from a Toyota Avalon no less) that it’s no longer the rolling four-door superhero it once was. And to that end, I can only say that I really, really don’t care.
Flip This Car: 1989 Ford Taurus SHO
The notion of finding a cheap car, fixing it up, and flipping it for cash has been a tried and true practice for shade tree mechanics since the early days of motoring. As the title suggests, our goal for this endeavor is to do just that, but being that this is Winding Road and not some generic used car sales guide, there’s a bit more to it than that.
Third Look: 2010 Ford Taurus SEL Is More Than Just A Good Value
With all of the coverage that we’ve given to the Ford Taurus SHO lately, it’s easy to forget that the bread-and-butter SE, SEL, and Limited models still offer a whole lot of goodness, even without twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6. We just spent one week with a front-wheel-drive SEL test car, and while the overall value proves to be the Taurus’s best selling point, this car possesses plenty of other good qualities.
