Just a old crusty escort.

Thought Id share this pic.

Sucks that ford did not explore the EXP more then just making it a two seater escort. At least ford racing made a few parts for them and they had a trubo and HO motor option.

Scary how similar to a Foxbody Mustang those cars looked. That picture alone proves that.

Oh, a car.
When you said "crusty old escort" I thought you meant a former acquaintence. Sorry.

My HS gf had the first generation, it was a dog. Always thought Ford kinda missed the mark with them. They looked kinda cool but didn't have any kind of performance to back it up....

Before I started to restore my 88 EXP and was still driving it most people I ran into thought it was some sort of fox body

Most had a bone stock sub 80hp escort motor. Rather guiltless indeed. The HOs were rather good, but still held back alot imo.

The seats of the early Escort GT's were almost the same as '85/86 Mustang GT's, just less side bolsters and no adjustable thigh support - though they did have halos. I put a set in an '83 Mustang I had back in the mid 90s.

I thought they looked rather similar. But I never had the chance to have both In front of me at the same time.

The halo headrests I used in my car came from
an Escort. Same part

I honestly expected a political thread about VP Harris.

That is good to know. Now I wander about the seat rails. the EXP has some rather low profile seat rails. I know taller folks with escort GT's will fight over a set of EXP rails as they drop the seats a few inches. Yes inches, about 3 to be exact.

I honestly expected a political thread about VP Harris.

oh my, I know her morals are questionable, but I did not think it was that bad...

Yet if I say that, some around here wanna crucify me.

Oh, ya'll did when I compared the fox to the Escort and Cavalier visually.

 

[Ronin38]

See, it's that Cavalier attitude that gets you in trouble.
