Paris, Illinois, United States

Up for auction is a totally customized 1992 Ford Explorer Sport with low mileage.  This SUV is the 2 door, 5 speed, 2 wheel drive V6 model. This SUV has been garage kept for the past 10 years.  This is a great SUV for an auto enthusiast or for someone who would want to continue to customize this vehicle.      

The exterior has a professional custom paint job which features a silver base coat and multi-color graphics, shaved door handles/locks with a remote pop kit, shaved emblems, a shaved rear wiper and a shaved roof rack.  The only door handle that remains is the one for the rear window/tailgate, just incase you should blow a fuse you can still get in.  The exterior also has a custom license plate enclosure, custom front and rear bumper's, a 1990's Chevy Suburban euro taillight conversion, 20" Chrome Arelli Dilemma wheels with Goodyear Eagles tires and a custom air ride suspension with 2 custom painted 5 gallon air tanks that are mounted inside the SUV on top of the stereo enclosure.  

The interior of this SUV has tinted windows, gray vinyl seats with black trim, stock carpet, stock door panels and a stock dash with an aftermarket carbon fiber type trim kit, a custom sound system with custom enclosure, 4 TV's - 1 in the Pioneer AVX-P7000 head unit, 1- roof mounted flip down unit and 1 in each of the back of the drivers and passenger side front seats.  The interior also features a Sony Playstation 1 mounted in the center console with 2 controllers, a VCP player and a Pioneer XDV-P9 six disc CD/DVD changer.  Currently only the PlayStation and the DVD/CD changer are hooked up, you will need to install an additional AV switcher if you would like to use the VCP player as the Pioneer AVM -P8000R tuner only has 2 inputs.  The custom enclosure was wrapped in gray vinyl and houses all the wiring, fuses, a Optima Yellow top battery, the VCP, DVD/CD changer, 3 - 12" Kicker L7 Solo Baric's and a custom amp rack with plexiglass cover for the Kicker ZR1000 and ZX460 amps.  I will include the remote for the Pioneer AVX-P7000 and the AVM -P8000R that controls the DVD changer.  I also have the original box's for the Pioneer AVM-P800R and the Pioneer XDV -P9 CD/DVD Changer.  

Everything under the hood is stock in this SUV with the exception of a couple of painted trim pieces, the air filter and a Optima Red Top starting battery which was replaced.This SUV is in good condition for a vehicle of this age.  It only has minor wear and tear inside and out.  No major problems that I am aware of. The passenger front door leaked a little water the last time I washed it.  It looks like it's missing one of the pop rivet's on the seal, or it may need a new seal. The rear neon license plate light did not illuminate when I turned the headlights on.  The windshield has a small star in the center of it and there is a small rust spot above the windshield seal on the roof, it has never leaked.  A portion of the tailpipe was cut off the muffler due to the placement of the air ride lines.  You should be able to have another tailpipe installed and rerouted if you don't like the louder exhaust sound.  

All of the information in this auction is to the best of my knowledge, I am not a car expert.  No warranties or refunds are offered on this vehicle.  This is a no reserve auction.  A deposit of $1000.00 is due within 24hrs after the auction ends and the SUV must be picked up and paid in full within 72hrs after the auction ends.  The buyer is responsible for the full cost and arranging shipping to their location.  I would recommend that this vehicle is transported/shipped on a trailer due to the amount of customization.  Winning bidder is also responsible for all cost associated with registering this vehicle in their name.  If you have any questions, please ask.  Good Luck

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects

Thu, 16 May 2013

Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
