Wow! I SHO Wagon! I have seen a few of them around Dearborn, but always assumed it was another Ford "mule" or test car.

It is my understanding that Ford actually built two SHO wagons in 1991: a red one and a white one. The red one hit the show circuits and Car and Driver did a road test on it. The white one was more of a test mule. I don't know the ultimate fate of either of them.

The only ones I know of on the road are ones like mine where some lunatic swapped the parts from a wrecked SHO into a good wagon. I was able to find a little bit of the history of mine: the builder was a mechanic for a Ford dealership. Bought the wagon brand new, swapped out the interior and the power train, gave the car to his wife. I am the third owner of the car, bought it in New Hampshire for an absolutely unbelievable $1495, drove it to Alaska. ($1495 because (a) the owner had no idea of what he had -- just that it wasn't the "normal" engine; and (b) when he tried to trade it in on a mini-van the dealer wouldn't give him anything for it, because the dealer couldn't sell a car with the wrong engine and wrong transmission and wrong interior and God knows what else was wrong with it.)
