Wow... Factory G3 Sho Floormats!

[Shade 76]

I went yarding today, and the almighty blessed me by letting me sniff out a late build 96 (styled and sold as a 97) SHO, that died from trans failure i believe...

two things happened that i am pissing the floor with excitement.

• I now have the only V8 SHO in the DL area!
  
• the car minus rims is complete!!
  

The SHO lightbar i will be taking, but i managed to grab floormats! Factory ones too!! Grey cloth mats with purple embroidery!

check it!

Im psyched!! cant wait for them to dry and get them in the car!

Nice find!

[TaurusDailyDriver 178]

What color is the car? Need rocker covers.

Great find on the mats.

[zenriddles 142]

Nice catch. Proper color for 96/97 grey floormats. Now, if it IS a 96 you better go back for a couple gems.

Get the Football, RCU and Subwoofer if it is a JBL sound system. DON'T FORGET THE CABLE TO THE SUBWOOFER. It is, as they say, Unobtainium.

Also, on 96 Sables and SHO's they had a little 'brake light out' module in the trunk that the other jelly-bean years didn't have.

Gauge pod has the PRNDL which lights up too. Also deleted from 97 - 99's

Lets see, the car has a build date of 09/96, so its technically a early 97... no V8 badging, and no PRND21 in the gauge face...

the football, and RCU shouldnt be a prob.

the brake light out shouldnt be a problem!

the rear rockers are unaccounted for, the fronts are there. typical taurus rocker rot. has one steel rim with a winterforce winter tire on it XD

I had a hybrid 96 / 97 once. Odd bull.

Don't bother with the RCU and football if it is a Mach system. Look at the sail speakers in the front doors, they will say JBL. Also, a center speaker in back is a dead giveaway.

Darn. Same thing up here with a rocker cover i needed. Fronts were there... Rears were not.

Can you get the TPS connector and the wires between it and the rest of the harness?

Paul you are going to have a hard time finding a set. I sourced mine from 2 different cars, picking the best of each of the four separate pieces.

Hey, I have those exact floormats. They're nice.

The football for a 96 is no different from a 97 functionally. Except for the Compact Disc functionality on the 96s.

A 96-7 football have a few variations. Some lack CD function, some have CD w/"COMPACT DISC" logo, some just have CD button w/no logo.

Sometime during the 1996 year, they changed the climate control temperature button from Blue/Red to +/-. I've been pulling ICPs at the yards, and it looks like they changed it around the last week of 1996/first week of 1997.

Taurus LX models also had the "Rear Lamp Out" function too

So where is this.."rear lamp function module"... (pic) and if I happen to find one, will it work in my '97?

[TaurusDailyDriver 178]

Found a rotted out Gen 3 (1997 built 04/97) SHO in my yard. First I have seen in this yard other than the 89 also in the yard. Has 128k. Did not see if cams were welded... too rusty and rocker covers gone Motor supposedly runs well.

Floor mats were there but really beat.
