I am the original and only owner of this 2001 Ford Explorer XLT with Leather Seats, Multi-CD changer in the middle console, non-smoker, never been in a wreck, and low miles...80,293 at the time of this listing. If you were looking around for an affordable four wheel drive vehicle and wanted to save money with a vehicle that had a couple issues to disclose, this is one that will be sold on auction with no reserve so thanks for bidding and good luck. This is a fairly good running and overall nice looking Explorer for its age with four wheel drive that just needs a little mechanical attention.
Mechanically, the 4.0L six cylinder runs very well with lots of power and no apparent smoke or leaks. This is listed in poor condition since the automatic transmission has a slight hesitation between 1st and 2nd gear but otherwise drives well and it has served our family very well. This could likely be the most expensive repair so please bid accordingly. The brakes are strong, and no warning lights are illuminated on the dash. The ball joints and rear struts may need to be inspected and replaced. There is decent amount of tread on all tires, there is cracking on all tires from sitting in the hot Texas sun.
The interior of the car is fairly healthy with no major rips or tears in the leather seats, the front driver seat is more worn as shown in picture from normal use and there are black marks on the back of the seats. Clean cargo area and clean and odor-free carpets. The headliner is in tact and tight and the dash is perfect with all the power options and 4WD functioning as they should. There is a crack on the drive side door speaker cover, but speaker still works fine and the cargo area side panels are scuffed up that is hard to tell from pic. Maintenance done over the past couple years includes: Radiator and Transmission Flushes, Oil Changes, replaced the center console arm rest due to wear, replaced Front Hood Latch, replaced battery, AC was serviced and works great, state inspection is current. No signs of pets and no smell of tobacco so overall it has been pretty well taken care of.
The body of the car is listed in poor condition due to slight fading above rear driver side door, trim on top has been painted black to fix fading issue, but done by professional, all other black trim shows fading, including bumpers and side trim. There are 3 very small door dings and about 5 small dings from hail, most you have to look at angle to even see them. There is overspray over the majority of the car from being too close to fence when being stained and have heard it can be cleaned using Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit. Front Wipers work good, rear wiper needs new wiper blade and cigarette lighter is missing. There is a very small crack in the bottom part of the front windshield smaller than a dime and doesn't obstruct view. No major dents aside from typical nicks and scratches and no rust as this has been in North Texas since we bought it new. We would keep this car, but needed to get bigger car for our family.
I did the best I could to list all known issues, but the car is over 10 years old and may have other defects that aren't known to me, so I encourage you to inspect the car prior to bidding and is being sold AS-IS. Will be happy to answer any questions or schedule a test drive with proof of insurance and valid drivers license.
Winning bidder to make transportation arrangements. Will work with shipping company of your choice to help transaction go smooth. I have clear title and will be transferred to wining bidder within 48 hours of confirmed payment.

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup
Sat, 08 Mar 2014Snagging 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.
Ford readying dozen+ Mustang models for SEMA
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Ford is unsurprisingly bringing a herd of its new 2015 Mustang models to next month's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Over a dozen of them are arriving from top aftermarket outfits like Galpin Auto Sports, Steeda, Roush and others. The Blue Oval isn't just shining a spotlight on the V8 model, though. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter version with 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque is also getting its time in the sun.
Among the shined-up ponies will be a showcar helping Galpin celebrate the Mustang's golden anniversary, with the car is covered in the precious metal. The black paint over the body has gold flecks in it, and the wheels, side sills, brake calipers and badges all match, as well. However, it takes more than something shiny to truly impress at SEMA, and Galpin's Mustang also packs a Whipple supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8, boosting the bottom line to 725 horsepower. Take that, Hellcat. There's even a window in the hood to look through, not unlike a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The coupe also wears new headlights with LED turn signals that activate in sequence, just like the taillights, and the interior features black-and-gold Recaro seats.
Also set for its SEMA debut is an MRT showcar that takes the EcoBoost Mustang for a gallop with its TKO treatment. The black and orange two-tone car has been designed to incorporate select road racing elements. Mechanical upgrades include 14-inch brake rotors with new ducts, a Vortech air-to-air intercooler and an Air Lift suspension. The Mustang also shows off the company's products for added style and performance including a hood with integrated heat extractors and a unique front splitter.
Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.
