The Escort will live forever!

Brand New Manufactured Complete Escort Mk2 Bodyshell Standard RS Spec Body Shell

Only seven thousand Euros with VAT, too! Way cheaper than one of those repop '69 Camaro shells.

Also, this company has a lot of interesting stuff for sale.

plus the shipping to the US....minus VAT for US residents, I suppose.

I wonder how drivetrain availability is for these these days...

In reply to irish44j:

Susprisingly good, actually, although I see a lot of Escorts that are powered NOT by Pinto or BDA engines. (Online, of course. I'd probably lose it if I happened upon a bunch of them in person)

The Vauxhall engine swaps make me cringe, but I really like the Duratec/MZR setup.

Roughly 10 years ago, I heard of people paying 20-25k pounds for show Escorts to turn into rally cars as good shells were that dear. Now people can ball them up on the stages to their hearts' content again

Ecoboost mustangs donors starting to pop up can only assist with drivetrain offerings.

Seamus Burke is running a MkII Escort Rally Car with a Mustang V6 in it.

In reply to captdownshift:

The funny thing is, an untouched 2.5l with a header will make more power than an Ecoboost, which has also been proved to be too much torque for the common (NC) transmissions, and seems to have problems keeping the pistons in one piece when worked hard with the Motorsport tune.

'Sides, it isn't an Escort if it doesn't have a naturally aspirated four singing at high RPM

Oh sweet berkeley.
