Dealer Comments
This is the kind of SUV that feels less like inventory and more like a time capsule.
This **1997 Ford Explorer Sport 4WD** is something you do not see every day a classic 2-door Explorer Sport with only **2,969 miles**. Finished in **Red**, this SUV has the kind of old-school Ford personality, clean throwback look, and rare low-mileage appeal that makes it stand out immediately.
The **Explorer Sport** has a special place in Ford history. The short wheelbase, 2-door body style, and rugged 4WD attitude give it a look and feel that todays SUVs just do not have. It is compact, tough, nostalgic, and full of character the kind of vehicle that brings people back to a different era the moment they see it.
With the **102-inch wheelbase** and **4WD drivetrain**, this Explorer Sport has the right stance and the right attitude. Whether someone is looking for a collectible Ford, a low-mile survivor, a weekend cruiser, or just something truly different from the modern SUV crowd, this one checks a very unique box.
The mileage is the story here. At only **2,969 miles**, this 1997 Explorer Sport is not just another used SUV. It is the kind of vehicle that gets attention from Ford fans, collectors, nostalgia buyers, and anyone who understands how rare it is to find something from this era with mileage this low.
With **VIN 1FMDU24E7VUB87711**, stock number **AB428**, and its bold Red exterior, this Explorer Sport is the kind of piece that belongs with someone who appreciates originality, rarity, and the feeling of owning something you simply do not find anymore.
Come see it at **Crossroads Ford of Apex**, where the inventory is anything but ordinary. Walk the lot, check out our classics, specialty vehicles, hard-to-find SUVs, unique trucks, performance vehicles, commercial-ready units, and grab a bite at our in-house diner while youre here.
This is the SUV you need to see in person. Open the door, feel the 90s Ford character, picture the conversations it will start, picture it sitting in the garage, and picture that **Red Explorer Sport** parked proudly in your driveway because this is not just transportation, this is a rare piece of Ford nostalgia.
