A Rare Excursion

I was browsing an insurance auction website when I came across this. I recall a discussion a while back about this probably being the rarest Excursion out there for having the blue interior. This one sure is messy inside and has quite a few miles for a V10...

VIN is 1FMNU41S4YEA01812, so it's a very early build 2000 model.












It's in Billings, MT.

I'd totally liberate the tow mirrors. Maybe even the doors/rear hatch doors.
Looks like this was a daycare vehicle judging from the backseat pic

As the kids would say, those wheels are SICK! Except in my case, that really means it makes me sick to see such a nice truck on those sickening wheels. I do recall you mentioning selling them if you bought it to recoup expenses. I hope somebody does, that poor truck..... and such a nice color too. Yes, I am officially a grumpy old guy. heh heh

Hmm, it still hasn't come up for auction, I just looked it up. I figured it would have after all this time. Here's the link:
