Default SHO Taurus seats

Does anyone know if the seats from a SHO taurus can fit into a mustang?

You can usually make a seat fit, as long as they aren't to wide for the center console and such. I've swapped seats in many cars. As long as you can bolt the factory mounts from your old seats on the bottom of the replacement seats you want, you can usually swap them.

If you're lucky the mounts will be the same size, but since the taurus was quite a bit wider the mounts probably have a wider track on them.

If it's like my mom's taurus then it's a bench seat and will fit if you first take out the center console.

Well, sorry. Not my mommy's taurus? To me SHO means a Taurus with a supercharger. I thought it was still a FWD sedan that weighs 3000+ lbs. They'll most certainly fit if they're buckets. Mine came off of a turbo coupe. Super comfy, and a nice contrast with the red interior.

sorry, you might be a from a later generation and don't remember the song Helldorado, or the Nissan commercial where they say "This ain't your daddy's Oldsmobile"

SHO wasn't supercharged, they had stronger engine (16valve V6 and later a 32V V8) and more nimble suspension than the standard taurus. Deluxe leather interiors, bucket seats, etc. It was a "Sport Sedan"

It's like comparing a 2.3L LX to a 5.0 GT

They are pretty neat cars. The seats are badass, there are a pair of the black leather ones in good shape at the local u-pull.

I think the only S/C cars that Ford made in the 90's was the Tbird SuperCoupe. After that died I think S/C was only resurrected in the Lightning and the Mustang Cobra Terminator
