1994 Ford Taurus SHO: a single lineage, no option table

This record's own dek states 13,280 SHOs for 1994 by the 1997 SHO Registry FAQ count, about four in five of them 3.2-liter automatics. This record's own overview documents the 1994 SHO offered, as in 1993, with the 3.2-liter DOHC V6 paired with the automatic or the 3.0-liter DOHC V6 paired with the five-speed manual, and states that the only production figures found come from the overview table on the V6SHO wiki, credited to a 1997 SHO Registry FAQ sheet using Ford Performance Group statistics: 13,280 cars in all, 10,783 automatic and 2,497 manual.¹

This record's own overview states that the wiki carries no option-code table for 1994, so no color, trim, or option install counts were found for the year from that table. Its own overview further states that while the overview table does carry 1994 color figures, their column positions could not be read reliably at the time this record's own overview was written, and it says those figures are not used for that reason.¹

This record's own paint section nonetheless lists five colors for the year: Vibrant White at 2,470, Currant Red at 2,230, Moonlight Blue at 1,275, Opal Frost at 1,302, and Emerald Green at 6,003 units. This record's own production notes state that these five rows add to the 13,280 total in the same column, but characterize that agreement as arithmetic rather than a source statement, consistent with its own overview's caution that the color figures' column positions could not be read reliably. Emerald Green, at 6,003, is by a wide margin the largest of the five color figures documented in this record, accounting for nearly half of the file's own 13,280 total, while Moonlight Blue, at 1,275, is the smallest.¹

Two engines and two transmissions are documented, matching the automatic/manual split exactly: the 3.2-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 at 220 hp and 215 lb-ft paired with the automatic, carrying the 10,783 figure, and the 3.0-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 at 220 hp paired with the five-speed manual, carrying the 2,497 figure. The 10,783 automatic cars documented in this record account for about 81 percent of the 13,280 total, with the remaining 2,497 manual-transmission cars making up the rest, a split this record's own overview describes as roughly four in five automatics. This record's own identification section documents that engine code P in the eighth VIN position identifies the 3.2 SHO and Y the 3.0, with series 54.^1,2

This record's own prices section is empty, with its own price note explaining that a J.D. Power live-valuation figure was removed from this record because those pages can change without notice and cannot be independently verified, and warning that a price for this car elsewhere that looks suspiciously exact may be quoting that same unverifiable figure rather than confirming it.¹

This record's own specifications and performance sections are both empty, a documented gap rather than an assumption that no such data exists. Its own options, interiors, and conflicts sections are likewise empty for the year, and its unpublished leads section carries no entries either, leaving 1994 documented at the level of total production, the automatic/manual split, and the five color counts drawn from the overview table.¹
