Custom 1992 Ford Explorer Sport 2 Door on 2040-cars
Louisville, Kentucky, 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. I have owned this SUV since 1997 and I'm only selling it, because I'm moving and can't take it with me. My loss is your gain! The customization on this SUV was completed about 10 years ago, so most of the equipment is older. 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 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 two weeks ago. I will also include 2, 1 amp trickle chargers. I use these to keep the batteries ready to go since it sit's in the garage most of the time. 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. I got the SUV out of the garage last weekend to take pictures of it and everything seemed to work properly. The only issues that I am aware of are, the tires should be replaced, they hold air properly and have plenty of tread left, but I think they have flat spots from sitting in the garage. The rear tailgate shocks will need to be replaced, the tailgate won't stay open without someone or something holding it up. From what I've been told this is a cheap and simple fix. 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. Again, this should be another cheap and easy fix. 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 $500.00 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!

Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
