No, it's not a fox, but at least it's still a Ford!

Anywho, I really got tired of my MN - 12, all the problems I was having, ball joints, control arms, valve seals were going, and finally last Friday evening my radiator blew:mad: (which I still fixed...).

Soooo, I threw it up on CL and over at tccoa for 850. Had a lot of hits within the first few hours. (You know, if you put a running car on CL for less than a grand, people go nuts). I ended up calling a guy who had two explorer's for sale/trade, got to talking about them, and then, I told him I had a thunderbird I was looking to trade, if he was interested. He was actually looking at my ad when I called him, and was about to call me:D

Anyway, on to the pics! The green one runs and drives, and has a title, needs a little bit of work, but nothing major. The white one is the parts car, has a sweet lift and 33" tires on decent Weld wheels.

*pics coming in a minute....lol

My wife found one in the parking lot at work. This cat's a tiny little bitty thing. So far, we've been calling her "Patches." Oh wait ...wrong kind of cat :o

The rides look nice, dude, and at least you kept it on this side of the Blue Oval

There's a reason they call it an Exploder. :)

I just had to put new ball joints in mine. Not to mention rebuild the top end of the motor, all with less than 90K on it.....But the idiot who had it before me didn't really take care of it so I can't really blame it on the truck.

The green one was taken care of pretty well..... Did I mention the guy worked at the local ford dealership as a mechanic?:D The top end was redone, with reman ford heads. Dosen't leak/use a drop of oil either. The white one had a reman tranny with about 32000 miles. You shoulda seen his bronco, it was awesome.
