    Shiver me timbers!
    They need a fake bird in the laundry basket and at least some cheap ass railing. And the custom sail can have a big lemon on it.

    @jpech: The Explorer's original curb weight should be low enough (if a 2wd '01 SportTrac comes in at under 4200 pounds, a '92 should either way), but I'm not sure how they'd feel about allowing a goddamned ship on their track.

    SHIT-COVERED CRAP... IS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS FORD EXPLORER CONVERTED INTO A PIRATE BOX. THIS BOX WAS BUILT AS A DRUNKEN BET, AND IN COMBINATION WITH OUR DAILY-WORN PIRATE COSTUMES, HELPED US EARN A LOT OF CONTEMPT FROM WOMEN. THIS PIECE OF SHIT TOOK SEVERAL "CEASE & DESIST" LETTERS EARING US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FINES. THIS CRAP SHIP IS BUILT OVER AN EVEN CRAPPIER FORD EXPLORER THAT BARELY RUNS AND DRIVES WORSE THAN AN ACTUAL PIRATE SHIP. THE WHEELS HAVE CLEARANCE(-ISH), IT CAN BE STEERED EASILY IF THE WIND IS RIGHT. THIS IS A VERY DETAILED EXAMPLE OF AN AUTHENTIC CASE OF JACKASSERY. PROFESSIONALLY PAINTED AND AIRBRUSHED BY MY COUSIN BIG STEVE. DOOR IN REAR FOR "OTHER" TYPE OF PIRATES. PERFECT FOR INSURING THE SAFETY OF OUR BORDERS. A LOT OF METH WAS TAKEN TO BUILD THIS BOX, AND WE ARE OFFERING IT AT NO RESERVE. BOX COMES WITH CLEAN TITLE (MINUS SALVAGE AND FLOOD) AND CAN BE REGISTERED IN ALL STATES EXCEPT CA, OR, WA, ID, WI, NV, NM, AZ, TX, KS, ND, SD, OH, IL, NE, MA, NH, VT, ME, NY, PA, NJ, CT, DE, AND PARTS OF VA. A CUSTOM SAIL CAN BE MADE FOR ADDITIONAL LOSS OF DIGNITY. THIS IS A VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A WELL BUILT PIRATE BOX/POS EXPLORER ETC FOR A VERY LOW INVESTMENT. THANK YARR BIDDING!!

    A friend of mine just flat-traded his '98 Neon with a dying transmission for a dented, but otherwise sound '96 Explorer 4wd.


    I'm not sure if he got the better deal, or the winner of this... thing.

    Does Wert's ebay handle start and end with a "j" like the high bidder? I would like to see that thing with a Burberry sail.

    Well the word ship is very close to the word i'd use to describe early 90's Fords. At least he'll never lose it in the carpark.
