What I would do with that:
Buy it.
Get a transmission from a Duratec engined Ranger.
Get a 4 bolt Ford axle that comes closest to fitting the Fucus. (Pinto/Mustang II/Fox?)
Make it RWD with all the interior, and electronics still in place so it looks stock.
???
Profit.
Wish it were closer. My oldest is in the midst of driver's ed.
I have my doubts that's a duratec. Only a few 2003 models got the duratec and those are in hardcore democrat states. A lot more 2004s had them.
Ask seller for a picture of the engine bay or the VIN. If there's a Z in the vin, it's a duratec.
