NO RESERVE, highest bidder gets it.  I will not end the auction early for any reason, IT IS NOT for sale locally and WILL ONLY BE SOLD IN THIS AUCTION that ends Wednesday at NOON Michigan time. 


I take ebay seriously an have listed this on eBay with confidence that my eBay rating history assures that I am selling a as described Explorer without any hidden engine transmission or running problems or issues.  This is a great little truck I really would keep but I need something a little bigger for work. 

I am the 2nd Owner, Original miles, Carfax certified (can show you the Carfax or check yourself), no accidents or damage ever, 2nd owner - has the highest carfax rating. It looks runs and drives great.

Completely original 1993 Ford Explorer Sport XLT 4X4, 57,1xx miles - I drive it daily now about 300 miles a week. Clean inside and out as to be expected but it is 20 years old. No rust anywhere ever - never driven in winter salt until this January.  I mean NO RUST... not surface rust, not little bubbles, no where underneath or on the body is there rust or beginnigs of rust.  Original Black Cherry/metallic deep purple paint - it is original paint and it has a few scratches, the worst is on passenger door but still not seen easily in pictures and still looks great. Hood has paint fading thats it. Interior is clean. Radio, Heat, Lights, blinkers, Power Windows, Locks, mirrors all work as they should. Suspension does not "sag" in the rear as most Sports do with 100,000+ miles. This one sits level even when loaded up with gear.

The 5-speed manual v6 gets good mpg about 22 city-27 hwy. Runs smooth an quiet. No vibrations or leaks. 4x4 works without a problem. Plugs wires ect, recently had brakes done. oil about 1500 miles ago. Tires are all newer: 2 Tires were new in December and have about 5k miles put on them. Two are new a year ago and have about 8k miles put on them. 4 brand new shocks have just been installed.  Reliable & dependable for everyday and long distance use. Great little 4x4. Its small and easy and fun to drive. It is my everyday vehicle but I need something larger. 

The faults are - 2 small holes in driver seat - holes not from wear and tear - fabric is not worn, rear wiper does not work, center armrest is broken, stone chips in windshield - not a giant cracks just chips. I will add anything else I think or notice. 

Sorry it is a little dirty in the pictures.  Wednesday morning I will completely clean it inside and out - underneath and all. 

Title is signed proper and notarized for states that require notary authentication. Original Explorer owners manual included, Spare tire, jack and equipment is there.

To put my money where my mouth is...and I will even offer drive it any distance (in USA) to the highest bidders location for the cost of gas/hotel and my plane ticket home.  Payment by bank transfer required before I hit the road. Anything breaks along the way, its on my bill to fix it. 
 
Payment and shipping:
NO RESERVE, highest bidder gets it.   I prefer that the winning bidder come and pick it up wenesday after the auction ends at NOON Michigan time or by Saturday and pay cash in full at pick up. 

If you are from a distance away and will be shipping it or wish to have Me drive it to you, payment by bank wire transfer is required by Friday. If you cannot pick it up right away, please pay the deposit required to hold it.

Aluminum lightweighting does, in fact, save fuel

Mon, Apr 14 2014

When the best-selling US truck sheds the equivalent weight of three football fullbacks by shifting to aluminum, folks start paying attention. Oak Ridge National Laboratory took a closer look at whether the reduced fuel consumption from a lighter aluminum body makes up for the fact that producing aluminum is far more energy intensive than steel. And the results of the study are pretty encouraging. In a nutshell, the energy needed to produce a vehicle's raw materials accounts for about 10 percent of a typical vehicle's carbon footprint during its total lifecycle, and that number is up from six percent because of advancements in fuel economy (fuel use is down to about 68 percent of total emissions from about 75 percent). Still, even with that higher material-extraction share, the fuel-efficiency gains from aluminum compared to steel will offset the additional vehicle-extraction energy in just 12,000 miles of driving, according to the study. That means that, from an environmental standpoint, aluminum vehicles are playing with the house's money after just one year on the road. Aluminum-sheet construction got topical real quickly earlier this year when Ford said the 2015 F-150 pickup truck would go to a 93-percent aluminum body construction. In addition to aluminum being less corrosive than steel, that change caused the F-150 to shed 700 pounds from its curb weight. And it looks like the Explorer and Expedition SUVs may go on an aluminum diet next. Take a look at SAE International's synopsis of the Oak Ridge Lab's study below. Life Cycle Energy and Environmental Assessment of Aluminum-Intensive Vehicle Design Advanced lightweight materials are increasingly being incorporated into new vehicle designs by automakers to enhance performance and assist in complying with increasing requirements of corporate average fuel economy standards. To assess the primary energy and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) implications of vehicle designs utilizing these materials, this study examines the potential life cycle impacts of two lightweight material alternative vehicle designs, i.e., steel and aluminum of a typical passenger vehicle operated today in North America. LCA for three common alternative lightweight vehicle designs are evaluated: current production ("Baseline"), an advanced high strength steel and aluminum design ("LWSV"), and an aluminum-intensive design (AIV).

Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.

Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
