I have too many vehicles!  You are looking at a 2002 Ford Explorer that I have invested roughly $4000 fixing up only to decide we wanted a different car before I got it back from the shop...  So here we go:   The transmission and rearend have almost 0 miles on the rebuild (I only drove it home from the shop).  The transmission and transfer case shift smooth.  The rear wheel bearings were replaced at that time as well.  All work was done by an ASE certified technician.  Rear Tires have about 90% tread life left and front tires have less than 100 miles on them.  I put a new battery in it last month.  Motor is solid.  I have no concerns with the drivetrain on this vehicle.  I would have no reservations about taking off cross country in it today!

The exterior of this vehicle is in pretty good shape for its age and for having 118,460 miles on it.  However, The plastic on the bumper is popped loose on the left rear but is barely noticeable and an easy fix (see picture).  There is a minor nickel-sized door ding on the right rear door.  There are some minor rock chips and blemishes as u would expect on a vehicle of this age.  But as I said, it's in pretty good shape. 

The seats are all leather.  The driver's seat shows considerable wear but is comfy.  The passenger seat is also showing wear but not as bad as the driver's seat (see pictures).  The rear seats are in excellent shape.  There was a sizeable stain on the carpet in the hatch when I took the pictures but my wife put some elbow grease into it and was able to get it out.  Also, the left rear power window is not working and the compass only works part of the time. 

The heat and air conditioner work great!

I have two keys and two fobs.  The keypad on the door functions properly.

I am not a dealer!  This is the car my wife and I drove everyday and I truly believe this is a good, reliable vehicle.  Please feel free to drive this vehicle before you bid.  If you have any questions I should be able to answer them for you.

Serious bidders only please!  I have already sold this vehicle once but the winning bidder did not pay.  I think he had a legitimate excuse but it creates a real headache when that happens.

Thanks for looking, Happy bidding, and good luck

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.

Ford going bonkers at SEMA with 57 showcars

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Ford always shows up in force at the SEMA Show, but this year's tally of 57 custom-tuned cars, trucks and vans is more than we can ever recall the Blue Oval bringing. Ford will introduce 28 of its project vehicles in its "Dreamcase" ahead of next month's show. The first batch of eight you'll find here with the remaining vehicles trickling into public view over the next couple of weeks.
This first group of cars includes a Fiesta, four Fiesta ST hatchbacks and a trio of Mustang show cars styled and tuned to varying degrees all by different aftermarket companies. Tanner Foust, Nitto Tire, 3dCarbon and Ice Nine Group are some of the more familiar names affixed to these cars. Our favorite so far is the Hollywood Hot Rods Mustang convertible (shown above) with its removable aluminum top and methanol-injected, 750-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
Scroll down for all the details on these Fiestas and Mustangs, and stay tuned for more info on Ford's SEMA line, which will include custom versions of the Focus ST, Fusion, Transit Connect, F-150 and Super Duty.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
