Quick details: 1994 Explorer Sport, 4.0 V6, automatic, 234k miles, runs and drives good. 3.73 gears, open diffs, electric shift 4x4.
More information: I have been slowly collecting parts and building this Explorer for several years with the intention of offroad racing it. I have mostly lost interest in doing that, however, quite a bit has been done. It was originally a 5 speed manual trans vehicle but has been converted to automatic with an ultra rare C5 transmission from a Bronco II. Has a lot of new parts installed: radiator, plugs, fluids changed, AC delete done, fairly new battery and fuel pump, oil changed, and other things I’m forgetting. Custom bumpers front and rear, recovery points, front and rear receiver hitches, etc.
The interior was very dirty when I got this and everything except the front seats was discarded. It has some repairable rust in the rockers like all of them do – I have some patch panels to fix this and a good set of front fenders. Floors, frame, body mounts, etc are in good shape. Exhaust was rusted off at the cats so they were discarded and it was straight piped.
This Explorer could be race ready with a cage, race legal muffler and minimal other work. I have seat belts, fuel cell, battery box, and Dana 44 front hub conversion kit available to go with the truck.
To just drive it or wheel it as is, it just needs your license plates, trans kickdown cable finished (halfway done) automatic trans pedal assembly installed (included with truck) and maybe a better shifter.
Price is negotiable depending on what you want with the truck. It can be cheap if you want a rolling chassis and you bring your own wheels & tires. I have several sets of wheels and tires that can go on it at various price points. As pictured with the 31” Duratracs and wheels, I want $2500 for it.
Not really in any hurry to part ways with this but I do have a couple other vehicles I'd like to put some time & money into.
