Nice! I considering buying this: it's an '89 SHO with 105k miles. Been sitting in a garage for 5-6 years. Needs cv joints. $500

Check the spark plug wells also. Those valve covers are notorious for leaking. I had to chance all 6 o-rings on my old 90 sho.

Main reason for wanting it is because it's a manual. Don't want an automatic. Want a manual weekend toy. For $500 it's worth a shot at putting it back on the road.

I'm a dad for the 3rd time. This is my son. Looks like Car parts will be on hold for a while as he was my birthday present.

I have been having ths intermitent rough idle for quite sometime know,had the car at the dealer last week where a buddy of mine works at,checked the car pretty thoroughly for any vacuum leaks,used the Ford IDS software to monitor and check for any misfires,fuel system and everything was fine,he mentioned that the 13+SHO have a common problem with a faulty injector as many of you are aware of,due to the holiday weekend wasnt able to check the injectors by putting a borescope in the engine and cranking the car over,the faulty injectors tend to leak even when the car is not firing,something to keep in mind is that a bad injector cannot be diagnosed with software or sct programmers,will keep you updated.thanks  Z

Good luck, Z, you may be one of the first to catch this troublemaker preemptively!

Thanks -MANU,have been fortunate in many aspects,but truely the best experience is learning something new in life everyday,but yet the enlightenment from knowledgeable people like yourself and others makes this forum that more engaging. Z

I have been having this very intermitent gunk noise coming from the rear for the past couple of months,thought it was the rear sun shade hitting the rear glass but unfortunetly it wasnt the case,noticed recently the rear noise only sounds if the car has less than half a tank of gas,had the car at the dealer a whle ago and they checked the rear suspension and all was fine,couldnt produce the sound,maybe now will try leaving the car close to empty to see if it will emit the sound when visiting the dealer.  Z

Nothing loose in the trunk, Z?  Sometimes a jack or spare tire kit is not fastened fully.  Also did the fuel pump recall affect your SHO?

[/quote]No recall for me,and checked the trunk and the inflator kit was never removed and is on real tight,sounds like its coming from the gas tank,right underneath the drivers rear seat,nothing worse than a intermitent noise. Z

Aside from the 1/2 tank, any other specific circumstances that generate this clunk?  Possibly fuel pump starting to quit, hope it's not the straps.
