Paris, Illinois, 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. 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

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.

2015 Ford F-150 specs revealed, EcoBoost 2.7L to make 325 hp and 375 lb-ft [w/video]

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Our new man Greg Migliore is in attendance at a Ford media event at the Blue Oval's Dearborn, MI headquarters today, and he's reported in with a handful of the 2015 F-150 stats that we've been dying to know. Ford is slow-playing the news release here, but we can still offer up some interesting output and performance figures after half-year of waiting.
We have all be quite aware that Ford's shift to aluminum construction would save a lot of weight for F-150 models, and the results we're hearing now are duly impressive. For instance: in Super Crew trim, a 2015 F-150 is a whopping 732-pounds lighter than was its closest 2014-model-year equivalent. That's like hauling three middle-aged dudes to your bowling alley's league night for free. Polish your balls, guys.
Ford isn't willing to offer up any actual curb weights just yet, but if we take that 732-pound loss and extrapolate with the 5,128-pound curb weight of the 2014 F-150 Super Crew with the 3.7-liter V6, we can guesstimate that 2015 models will measure out in the 4,400-pound range. That's impressive.

EPA says fuel economy test for hybrids is accurate

Mon, 26 Aug 2013


The EPA says it stands behind its fuel economy test for hybrid vehicles following controversy about the testing process after Ford C-Max Hybrid customers and automotive journalists alike struggled to achieve 47 miles per gallon, the advertised mpg number, Automotive News reports. Ford responded to the issue almost two weeks ago by claiming that a 1970s-era EPA general label rule was responsible for the inaccurate mileage numbers, rerating the C-Max Hybrid's mpg numbers and offering customers rebates. Ford later said it didn't overstate the C-Max Hybrid's fuel economy and that it was surprised by the low numbers.
Ford technically didn't do anything wrong because it was following the general label rule, but agency regulator Christopher Grundler says the automaker was exploiting a loophole when it came up with the hybrid C-Max numbers, and that the testing process remains accurate. The general label rule allows vehicles that use the same engine and transmission and are in the same weight class to share fuel economy numbers, but it doesn't take into account other factors such as aerodynamic efficiency, which affects hybrids more drastically than non-hybrid vehicles. Ford originally used the Fusion Hybrid economy figures for the C-Max Hybrid and claimed the engineers didn't realize that its aerodynamic efficiency would affect fuel economy as much as it did.
