Description

2004 Ford Explorer in disguise! A 1950 Ford truck body was cleverly fitted to a factory stock Explorer chassis and running gear. Enjoy the comfort and reliability of a modern vehicle with the style and nostalgia of a classic. Built by a professional street rod builder in Ohio. The donor Explorer had only 23,000 actual miles, about 15,000 miles have been put on since built. So it's like you are buying a 38,000 mile Explorer with custom body. EXTERIOR: It...has a real 1950 metal body with fiberglass fenders. Professional body and paint work. Has a beautiful 2005 Escalade pearl white with a golden hue that matches the interior beautifully. Custom hand pinstriped. All of the chrome and stainless trim is new including bumpers, grill etc. All new tinted glass. All new weatherstrips and gaskets. Custom 17 inch American Racing wheels with Bridgestone tires. The running boards have wooden slats and aluminum step plates. LED taillights including a third brake light and reverse lights that were flush mounted. Custom gas door was installed in the fender. It has a great tonneau cover. It's metal, painted to match and water tight! To make it even cooler, it's power operated. It really has a unique, classy look. Great stance too. INTERIOR: Very tastefully done interior. The factory Explorer dash was custom fitted into the cab. The instruments, steering wheel, stereo etc are all factory 2004 Ford. The a/c controls are Vintage Air. Very soft leather like upholstery was used on the seat, door panels and headliner. Custom molded door panels, back of seat folds forward and has sewn pocket. Carpet is short loop with sewn edges and matching mats. Features include cruise control, power windows, tilt leather wrapped wheel, a/c and more. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It's all Ford Explorer just as it left the factory. The wiring, pulleys etc. Service right at Ford dealer. The heart is a V-6 4.0L SOHC fuel injected motor that runs smooth and reliable all day long. The motor compartment is very clean and proper looking. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the bed is very usable. It seals watertight, the tailgate latches are inside so your belongings are secure under the power lid. The bed is smooth painted metal, the floor is refinished wood planks, the hardware is stainless. It even has a cut and sewn carpet floor protector. UNDERSIDE: Wow, it is the same as looking under an '04 Explorer that just rolled out of the factory right down to the part stickers. The entire floor, structure, steering, suspension are stock. Has rack & pinion power steering, 4 wheel power disc brakes, 4 wheel independent suspension, 5 speed with overdrive automatic trans. The exhaust has some custom tweaking- Flowmaster muffler with dual tailpipes. And look how clean it is, the bottom looks nearly new! Use it! That is why it was built. Get 20 mpg, reliability, comfort and look great doing it.
