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. 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 with Goodyear Eagles tires 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.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. 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. 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 $1000.00 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

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.

Bill Ford says carsharing helps Ford, EVs need to be clean

Mon, Sep 8 2014

To most people, Bill Ford is most famous for being the great-grandson of Henry Ford. But, as the executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, Ford has also been leading the company into greener and greener territory. At the morning plenary session for the 21st World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Detroit today, Ford discussed a wide variety of topics, including connected cars (of course), plug-in vehicle and how Ford's collaboration with Zipcar came about because of he liked what the Zipcar CEO was excited about getting cars off the road. Given that the conference has a big focus on communication between cars this year, it's no surprise that Ford talked about his company's work on that front. He's looking at the long term, though, and says that despite announcements like the one General Motors made yesterday about Super Cruise, when fully autonomous vehicles get here, it won't be headline news since the ground work is being laid by technologies coming to cars in bits and pieces now. In other words, your adaptive cruise control is getting ready for bigger and better things. "My fear is that we electrify the fleet and our impact is not what it could be." – Bill Ford On the zero-emission vehicle front, Ford said that while he's in favor of electric vehicles, "My fear is that we electrify the fleet and our impact is not what it could be." He was discussing the emissions reality of coal-powered electricity, and said that, "We've got to have a national discussion about what we want our grid to look like." As for the work that Ford is doing with Zipcar (which is just one of the many automaker carsharing operations out there today), Ford said that he first approached Zipcar CEO Scott Griffith after hearing Griffith talk at a green conference four or five years ago. Griffith was surprised, Ford said, because he had just given a talk about ways to reduce car ownership. "Did you hear my speech? I talked about taking cars off the road," Ford remembers Griffith saying. "Yeah, and what's going to happen without us," Ford responded. Today, the partnership allows Ford to get cars to people that have traditionally been "hard to reach," like college students on campuses. Ford's vehicles are currently available on 250 colleges campuses. Ford then spoke favorably about other challenges to the traditional car ownership model, like Lyft and Relay Rides. "Rather than being frightened by that, we need embrace it and help makes their companies better," he said.

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.
