Default Looking At Buy An Escort

Hey guys ive been told to buy an escort and do it up...there not bad on fuel and have a decent pace and ive been told they can even beat 6cyls. Ive been in a 72 With a 2litre pinto and i have never been in a car so slow.

Do these things really go as hard as people say how can you get them to do it. I wanna beat 6`s :P

You wouldn't even need the webers as a stock 2lt in a mk1 would have a better power to weight ratio than most 6cyl commodores/falcons.

I like MK1`s but there hard to find. I went and looked at one with a 2litre pinto motor said excel cond 3g n it was a absolute heap of krap and slower than my mums daewoo. So i guess i could be look at MK2`s then..A 2litre most likley aslong as it goes sidewards and beats dickheads on the road im happy
