Just picked up my first Explorer. She's got 320k miles. Previous owner says the motor was rebuilt 150k miles ago
.
I picked it up for 1,100 with a bad head gasket and/or head. She has a misfire and leaks coolant near water pump. It should be fun. Especially when the previous owner told me he dumped 3 bottles of "head gasket in a bottle" to fix the issue.
I dropped it off at a local shop for a quick multi point inspection. I also gave them the information above.
Interior and exterior is in really good shape considering 320k miles. Ill have more pics when I get it back.
Goal is to make it a nice reliable daily with some beauty mods like wheels/tires and a small lift. Currently my daily is the 97 E350 diesel pictured towing the Explore.
