HI and thanks. here is a real nice, clean and reliable 2001 ford explorer. it is as shown and described. runs great and looks good. these fords are tough as nails, but it looks like this car never had a tough day in its life. obviously a well cared for vehicle, likely a second or third car around the house being driven only an average of 8-9000 miles a year.
everything works, a/c blows cold, engine is smooth and powerful, tranny does an excellent job. no knocks or clunks, bangs or issues. around town or on the road, a pleasure to drive and be seen in. extra clean, comfy seats, full power, quiet on the road. starts, stops and steers like a young-er car does. like new tires, great brakes, bright and shiney paint and way above average interior. I look for bumps or scuffs, there are none to mention. this was and is a non smoker's car. please see all photos, I took every good and bad shot I could.
but this is an older car, with 100+k miles. it is not perfect. I have 2 keys and remotes (OK), there is a light exhaust sound coming from in front of the (newer) muffler, the tires are raised white letters and need a scrub, it is a V8 (no big efficiency MPG thing, but the 6's are more common), there is a bug-deflector piece on the hood that can be removed, I do not have service records (although all appears in order).
call or email anytime, happy to help. thank you ~!~

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
Ford to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]
Fri, 12 Apr 2013The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.
