Default Looking for an escort

Hey guys,
I'm a massive fan of ford Escorts and have abeen for a while now. Just curious if you're aware of anyone selling a RS2000 in victoria. If you could let me know that would be awesome.

Cheers

Richo

I'm sure there is one on carsales.com.au at the moment. Pretty average condition though...

Depending what that one looks like, its a pretty good deal. You WONT find a clean and running RS for any less. Auto's are the ones you want anyway. Rip it out and chuck in a sierra 5 speed! No tunnel mods!
