1997 Ford Explorer Awd 5.0 Ho on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
|
Greetings viewer,
I'm selling off my 1997 Ford Explorer XLT AWD 5.0. This explorer has been well cared for and always maintained. This explorer is not your average POS explorer, nor is it in stock condition. I am the 3rd owner, it lived in New Jersey until about 2005, and then it was used as a vacation car in a Breckenridge condo, where it was garaged. Since I purchased this explorer I have overhauled the entire drivetrain as well as majority of the suspension and steering components. The original motor blew up a few summers ago so it now has a rebuilt 89 Mustang GT HO 5.0. Here are the details: 1997 Ford Explorer XLT AWD 177K miles, 10K miles on the motor All time AWD Automatic Transmission Dual power seats Heater blows hot front and back 60/40 split rear seats Drivetrain -1989 Ford Mustang 5.0 HO 302ci Small block (had about 80k on it when rebuilt) -Explorer 5.0 GT40 upper and lower intake, polished runners -Torque Monster Headers (Specs can be found at TorqueMonster(dot)com -Block rebuilt with new rings, bearings, seals, gaskets, cylinders honed. -GT40P cylinder heads (fully rebuilt and tested for cracks, crack free!) -Homemade Air intake setup with Lexan box to help with heat -Mustang GT roller cam -Transmission serviced -Rear diff serviced -Front diff serviced -Brand new battery Wheels, Tires, Suspension: -15" black steel wheels -31X10.5X15 General AT2 all terrain tires (pre drilled for studs) (12k on the tires) -All new Monroe sense-trac shocks -New Moog lower and upper ball joints, upper control arms, inner and outer tie rods Accessories: -Thule roof rack (mounts and cross bar) -Aftermarket headlights (pass side seal is bad, I have a new seal ordered, I will fix) -Autometer Ford Motorsport branded Water temp and oil pressure gauges (rare!) Bad/Needs some TLC: -Aftermarket stereo deck sucks and needs to be replaced -Needs front brake pads and rotors. They were cheap, they work, but they aren't the greatest. -Caught a golf ball in the windshield at about 60mph on I70 one day, no visibility problems, but should be replaced some day. -Drivers side door lock switch doesn't work, I've replaced the switch so it's a broken wire, pretty common with Fords and usually breaks at the door hinge. -Autometer water temp gauge needs a new sending unit, available from Autometer for about $20 -There is a dashlight or two out in the gauge cluster; I have replacements, just not installed -Turn signal stock has issues in the cold; I have a replacement, just not installed -A/C needs to be filled. It worked excellent, but I had to drain it when I installed the motor, usually about $50 to fill -Small exhaust leak on the two-piece drivers side header. Have the correct bolts to repair it, just not installed. This explorer is in great condition and needs a new home. Never been off road other than the occasional graded gravel road. Fluids changed on the regular. I have owned explorers for 10+ years and I know them inside and out. I know what this explorer is worth and I am going to be completely fair with the price, and you're getting a hell of a deal. Don't call low-balling the price; I don't have time for that. I am open to reasonable negotiation only. $3900 I'm sure I missed some details, so please email, Call or text 720.891.8oh-two4 Located in Denver, CO |

Bill Ford wins National Pond Hockey Championship with employees
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Who says executives aren't people? This past weekend, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, and a group of employees trekked up to Eagle River, WI for a few games of pond hockey. Team Ford took part in the 2014 Labatt Blue/USA Pond Hockey Championship, capturing its fifth title in the 50+ Tier 1 Division.
"It feels great to win," Ford, who plays on the team alongside other Ford employees, told the USA Hockey website. "It was fun to play [River Valley Pioneers] because they're great guys and we play them every year. We finally beat them, which we were due. It was a very clean game, a tough game."
The FoMoCo team managed to score seven goals to River Valley's two, and went undefeated in all five of its games during the tourney. Take a look below for the official press release on Team Ford's win.
Ford spills SEMA all over its Expeditions
Sat, 01 Nov 2014If you're going to this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, it's going to be tough to miss the Ford booth, simply for its size. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen customized examples of the 2015 Mustang and a quintet of modded Transits. The latest announced addition is a trio of upgraded 2015 Expeditions showing different takes on the recently refreshed SUV.
Any vehicle tuned by Dub Magazine needs to ride on massive wheels, and the Expedition (pictured above) that it has for SEMA is no exception. The SUV has 26-inch Dropstars wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires, and, making them look even larger, the suspension is also lowered. The rest of the custom has some mild upgrades like mesh grilles in front, tinted windows, an integrated radar detector and new upholstery inside.
Tijn wants to boost the performance of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 for its take on the Expedition. The company claims to add 40 horsepower to bring total output to a claimed 405 by upgrading the engine with a charge cooler from Vortech Engineering, a custom side exhaust and a custom tune. To match the extra grunt, the SUV also gets bigger brakes, an Air Lift suspension and 24-inch, copper-colored wheels with custom fender flares.
Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?
Wed, 30 Oct 2013A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.
