Attention all of you 2010+ SHO Owners Exclusively....
Here is some useful information on where to obtain an Official Build Certificate from the Ford Performance Group.
By following the link below, you may obtain this unique, one of a kind item that will help set off your SHO from the others.....
http://www.fordshowparts.com/store_contents.cfm?cart_id=05140729170111114100831042480920101108&store_id=1&dept_id=1137&product_id=6989 (http://www.fordshowparts.com/store_contents.cfm?cart_id=05140729170111114100831042480920101108&store_id=1&dept_id=1137&product_id=6989)
Along with your certificate comes a CD packed with all sorts of other goodies you can purchase, as well as a very detailed breakdown of various SHO's, colors, production #'s, options, etc etc......
Here's an image of mine:

In the grand scheme of things, owning/purchasing this certificate is a small subtle "thing" to have, and is kind of cool and helps make your car stand out that much more if you ever were to start showing it at various car shows, etc.
Typical turn around time from date of order, to actually receiving it in your hands, is typically 6-8 weeks.
Hope this is of some relevance to those fellow SHO owners out there!

I 2nd that this a great item to have. I have mine in a plastic stand that I put in the engine bay for the car shows that I attend. The judges all stop & take a look at it. Of course most of them have never seen a SHO up close, so the whole experience is new. Just one of the details that set cars apart. Thanks for bringing it to my attention months ago. By the way ours are almost out of same litter build # 4543 & 649 of the white of '10's. I've done lots to mine but nothing like yours & the shows that I go don't have models to fancy up my machine!!!!!!!!!

Why thank you.....
I've learned over the years, that having beautiful models work my ride(s), especially at the larger venue car shows, is a win-win for all involved.
The car itself draws attention to the model(s), and likewise, the model(s), as beautiful as they are, draw attention to the car.
Most, if not all of the girls I've worked with over the years are really cool, down to earth, and are just a real pleasure to be around.
Not too mention they are quite easy on the eyes.
Anybody know the numbers for the 2012 SHO yet, if this is a repeat I apologize in advance. Thanks, Morgan
I'll have them tomorrow for total SHO and White Platinum SHO.
BTW, thanks for the idea BPD.
Thanks for the update Dave. I figured the 2012 numbers would be out by now, I know 2013 won't be out till December/January per Ford Show Parts.
I put a scan of the 2012 build numbers in the SHO Gallery so it would be big enough to read.
http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;pic=242 (http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;pic=242)
only 1808 total 2012 SHO's, wow!
Yeah, and only 1 Kona!
Are we seeing a continuing decrease in the number of SHO's every year and if so what does that tell us about the future.
I was surprised at the drop between '10s and '12s. Could be they were ramping up for the '13s.
I would bet once final numbers come out production is up for 2013. I see a lot of them around here.

The website for FP only offers a choice of years through2012.... but they would take my order for a 2013. So I took a chance and paid for it. Maybe it will be a Christmas present.
That's great they took your order. You may be the first one to give us 2013 build numbers. I'm gonna guess right now. 6000. There seems to be a lot of them. At least on here! LOL
2010 = 7114-Per BPD's Cert.
2011 = 4845-Per Fordmanmorgan-Thanks!
2012 = 1808-Per my Cert.
2011 numbers
Total Produced: 4845
- Tuxedo Black 1,645
- White 929
- Red 682
- Silver 601
- Gray 495
- Blue 382
- Ebony 111
Great! Thanks Morgan!
Where does the site selling those certificates pull their data from? I'm curious to see the stats on the 2013s but I don't want to buy a certificate.

It's right from Ford. We'll see the stats when BIGMac gets his probably.
As soon as I have them everyone here will.... time is unpredictable though, per my earlier post.
how many gen 4 sho was built?
Here is a link to the Taurus Club website with the 1989-99 SHO numbers.
http://www.ford-taurus.org/taurusinfo/Other/SHOcount.php (http://www.ford-taurus.org/taurusinfo/Other/SHOcount.php)
Very interesting! Thanks for the link.
Well. I got this email from Ford Racing.... we'll have to wait. I'll still be getting on ordered and will forward all the data I can. Here's the email:
Good Afternoon Thomas,
Thank you for your Taurus Certificate order. At the current moment we do not have all of the final production data for the 2013 Taurus SHO, so unfortunately we are not able to produce you a certificate at this time. We anticipate certificates will become available sometime this winter so keep checking back with us and we will try to fulfill your request. I will cancel your order and issue you a full refund.
Ford Racing

Stinks they wouldn't just back order it.
I did reply suggesting a "back order" or "preorder" system and explained I was used to waiting on things like this. I'm awaiting a reply....
Smart move. Good Luck!
No word back from Ford Performance Group yet... If anyone else is interested in a certificate for 2013 and up SHO, it might help if you contacted them via the link bpd provided here earlier. Pressure of requests might spur them to action. I'd hate to see them drop the program. :help2:
Talked to them back in either September or October, can't remember. Was told at that time they wouldn't have numbers till December or January. Trust me BiGMaC I'm wanting one for my 13 as well, also for display at car shows too. I figured they should have the info soon I notice they have the certificates for the 2013 Focus ST's out so hopefully soon, very soon.
Yea guys (and any gals) y'all are gonna have to wait until sometime in January for the 2013 cert's to be ready.
They still gotta compile all the #'s etc.
So, hang tight, they're not going out of production or anything, it's just they don't have the figures tabulated yet, and won't until sometime in January.
Wish they made these for the explorer sport...

Be worth asking them directly. What's the worst they can do, say no?
Yup
I called and they said they don't have anything in their system for Xsport.
He said you never know later on, but nothing as of now.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk (http://tapatalk.com/m?id=1)
Still waiting for 2013 as I'm sure production has stopped for them and 2014 production is now in place.
Maybe you have to allow time for the bureaucracy to shift to the new year? :hmm:
I called again. I'm waiting too. What bpd said... :wall:
This is a very neat little bit of info. I think I shall order one too.
Well, I had to look again... site says no dice. I emailed and they are still saying January for 2013 SHO certificates. Word is: Santa can't bring one. :cry1:
When I went to the site I did notice that 2013 build certificates are available for the Focus ST and the Mustang GT. Starting to feel left out.
...So to make myself feel better i was looking over the production totals DJ posted in the documents. Who got the 1 and only Kona blue SHO built for the 2012 model year?
Bet the Kona blue 2012 has already been wrecked and totaled.
Hope not... the school teacher (Gail Wise) who bought the first Mustang ever sold still has it... there's always hope!
OK.... SOOooo it's the end of January 2014...
I just sent the following email to Aaron Anderson at Ford Racing since the website still shows nothing for the 2013 SHO certificates yet, but does have other 2013 models...
Hopefully they will be available soon.
"Hi Aaron,
Any word on when the 2013 Taurus SHO certificates will be available. There are a lot of folks on the forum who want them

Yep, 2011. 2525 of 4845 sedans, did they build coupes?! #504 of 929 White Platinum Metallic.
Did they build EcoBoost Taurus SEL's ? I saw one today at work and I thought the EcoBoost was only in SHO's
Must be a 2014 2.0 EB.

Yes, they offer the 2.0 EcoBoost in the SEL.

For those interested in a certificate of authenticity with production numbers for SHO in general and your ride, I got this reply from Aaron at Ford Racing. Looks like the 2013 SHO and Raptor certificates will be available in Mar 2014.... Just a little longer! Here's his email:

Good morning Tom,
Regarding the SHO certificates, I believe they will be available around the beginning of March. I cannot be 100% on that, but that is when the '13 Raptor certificates will be released and the SHO will follow. Hope this helps.
Ford Show Parts
Aaron Anderson
So I'm interested in one of these as well, but now it is now 2 months past the beginning of march and nothing for the 2013 Raptor or SHO is on the website still. Anyone still wanting to check into it? :sad1:
I have emailed them directly...
The 2013 Raptor is now available but still no SHO. hopefully soon.
At this rate you can order one as a Christmas present for yourself. They need to hurry up with this.
Just got this email from Ford Show Parts for all those interested..... Took a while to get a response, but Looks like they haven't forgotten the SHO.... :popcorn: I'll just keep waiting. I think maybe Aaron doesn't work there any more judging by the email address.

Good afternoon Tom,
Sorry for the delay, but it looks like an ETA for the '13 SHO certificates will be sometime this summer. I do not have a specific month at this time but that is what I have been told. We will be looking forward to fulfilling these orders in the coming up months. Thanks again.

Hi Aaron,
Several of us are still very anxious to have certificates of authenticity for our 2013 Taurus SHOs. Noticed a lot of others are up on your store now.... Any ETA for the 2013 SHO?
Thanks,
Tom
Probably too busy churning out the Mustang and F150 certificates!
Any word for the 13 sho's? You going to get it by this christmas maybe?
Just talked to them on the phone. The guy said its a cool package of information but it still is not ready for the 2013 SHO's. He said hopefully by the end of the year.
Guess I will just keep waiting :cry1:
manu:
i don't think so. friends that have boss 302's have been waiting for certs just as long as tom has, so not sure what they are doing. when the boss guys see mine at shows they get real upset that a lowly sho has a cert & their boss's don't.
I hear ya, Mike! We are in the 2015 production year, so it's odd that Ford has not caught up with 2013 data. Something else going on.
I figure if I keep calling about the 2013 year certificates Isaac might have some good news. I just talked on phone with him again and he said he has no idea and to check back in a couple of weeks. Maybe if I call him weekly it will light a fire under his a** so he can try to light a fire under someone else's.
Scott
Can't believe we don't have production numbers yet. WTF!!
Hopefully they get this done someday...
I think we may have to mount an email/phone campaign to get them... or find another source for production numbers

I sent out a query to Ford, Ford Racing, and Taurus marketing folks via Twitter asking about 2013+. Usually they reply via Twitter since it is public facing. I will let you know what I find out.
Just ordered one for the 2011!!!

I finally heard back from Ford racing. Below are twitter screen shots of their reply. Still seems like something more is up.
Good luck!
Just got mine today!!!

False advertising!!!!
Also notice it says all 495 grey ones built have the voice activated sync system...pretty sure we don't have it (never looked into it)
They also spell grey different from the build cert to the #'s sheet.
Rich

After UPS lost my first CoA I finally received the replacement.
