NMNA - Looks pretty clean, but broken timing belt and bent valves

I love these. They're just so odd looking. It looks like a rallycross car to me.

There's gotta be some kind of modern drivetrain you could swap in there on the cheap.

This would be a great Lemons car.

These things still don't sell. There was a running 5 speed in Southern Indiana with a bad water pump for $500 ObO, and it at for a half a year until the owner had it crushed.

That said, I've wanted one since they were new.

Shame it's not a turbo model. I want the related early Escort GT Turbo for reasons I can't fully explain.

I almost bought one when they were relatively new.

There are too many zeros adter that three

I think these have a 4x108 bolt pattern.

MUSCORT!!!!!

Have been having these kinds of dark thoughts about an old Merkur and the new ecoboosts that will be entering boneyards shortly...
