@smunrokray @RadwoodOfficial Hi Susan,

I wouldn't be opposed to renting it out but it does reside in New York, obviously a bit far and away from Munro's base of operations.

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

Presenting my 1986 Ford Taurus LX. The car that saved Ford and created the modern mid-size sedan segment! @RadwoodOfficial #VRadwood2 #RadAtHome #Hagerty

@mrlevine @FordAuthority Thanks for the reply Mike. As stated in the article, the option will only be part of the lineup if there is an inadequate supply of semiconductor chips.

@DougDeMuro @Castle_Auto Hey Doug look what I've got!

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@DouglassJason Ford doesn't break down that type of stuff typically, but sales generally don't reflect production. Keep in mind it can take weeks for a vehicle to even reach its destination.

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@DouglassJason Fulfilled orders count as new sales, there's no distinction between the two.

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@JasonTorchinsky One guy straight up told me my car wasn't significant unless it was a SHO! Anyway, because rivals emulated the Taurus, a lot of mid-size sedans ended up looking pretty similar, to the point where they won't be turning heads until many years from now I think.

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@JasonTorchinsky Also, as the owner of a 1986 Ford Taurus in very good condition, I can say that even clean examples don't get a lot of respect. Some people don't know how significant the Taurus was for the industry, but I think vintage sedans in general just don't get a lot of respect.

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@JasonTorchinsky What's especially galling about the example you picked - a 1989 Ford Taurus - is that it represented the fourth year of production for a pretty revolutionary vehicle, one that really wouldn't be matched until 1992 with the Camry.

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@Thecarhoarder @chrisklandry 140 horsepower and 160 pound-feet of torque was great for 1986 and still pretty decent for an entry level mid-size engine in 1996. I can keep up with modern traffic just fine in my '86 LX too.

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@jimfarley98 @Ford The symbol came equipped on Ford vehicles before 1989, as my 1986 Taurus has it

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@jimfarley98 @Ford Indeed it does! I think it's the wheels that tie them together. Ford used the same 15-inch cast aluminum wheels on the LX (they were optional) and made them standard on the SHO. They were also optional on the first generation Mercury Sable LS.

@DougDeMuro Doug! If you have time on your trip and are passing by the NYC area (Dutchess county) I would so love for you to review my 1986 Ford Taurus LX!

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@joeljohnson @MattHardigree @MacklinHogan This charger is only about a mile from my house! It's been there less than a year, I think.

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@john_osborn You're welcome!

@mikurubaeahina Very nice! I would unleash my Taurus love upon Jalopnik if given the opportunity.

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@mikurubaeahina Congrats on the Jalopnik gig! How'd that come about?

[Edward Snitkoff @EdwardNerdy]

@marksregard @mikurubaeahina @CarlisleEvents If things improve by then I'll be there!
