Here's my new aquisition...
It's a 200,000 mile 1996 Ford Explorer Sport 4x4 with a 4.0 V-6 and a 5-speed. She needs a new water pump (new one in the back, still in the box), thermostat (in the back, still in the box), and battery...but will be ready for the road after that. Future plans call for replacing the radio (someone tried stealing the old one), the clutch (the throw-out bearing chatters occasionally), shocks, and hitting the junkyard for a few interior pieces and a radio antenna. The body is in good shape with no rust and a few small dents. The best part? I got it for $450. Hell, the thing would be worth that with a blown engine. If the engine goes in it...well, I guess it will be time to drop in a V-8.
