1990 Ford Escort Gt Hatchback 2-door 1.9l on 2040-cars
Westminster, Maryland, United States
|
Runs and drives. It has an exhaust leak, it's ugly, there's a crack in the windshield and some rust, but it runs and drives. It has gotten me from a to b for a few months (since I bought it), now it's time to pass on this sweet machine to someone else. These GTs are actually pretty tough to find. They get decent gas mileage. Four cylinder engine and five speed manual transmission. I would always recommend coming to look at the car for yourself (bring your mechanic if you'd like) before putting in a bid. The great thing about this escort is that it's cheap. I've driven it as long as 3 hours over this summer. Apart from getting a little overheated in heavy traffic, she's done awesome. (I added some extra water to the resevoir and haven't had any problems with that since, but that could be because the weather has gotten cooler). The heat blows hot and so does the a/c. Well it's not actually hot, but I wouldn't call it cold either. Cruise control works. Any questions, contact me through email. Thanks and happy bidding! The odometer is only five digits on this car so it says something like 45,000. That doesn't seem too likely to me... could be 145k, could be 945k... there's no way to verify.
P.s. The car is also for sale locally pretty cheap, so get your bids in while you can. Reserve is well below buy it now price. |

2015 Ford Mustang dealer order guide surfaces
Tue, 13 May 2014Details about the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang continue to leak out. In fact, at this point, it's more of a stream than a drip. Its option prices are already available, and now the full ordering guide is on the web for all of the trims thanks to the Mustang 6G forum. Ford is rapidly running out of secrets to keep about its new sports coupe.
The 21-page guide can be perused in the gallery below and contains all of the standard features, colors, options codes, descriptions. Generally everything you might want to know about the 'Stang is there, other than its price or power. It even shows off the available wheel designs.
The guide finally gives away the contents of the Performance Package for the EcoBoost and GT trims. The EcoBoost's package includes: A larger rear sway bar, new chassis tuning, larger brake rotors, 19-inch black wheels, retuned driver assistance systems, an aluminum dash panel, added gauge pack, 3.55 limited slip rear differential, larger radiator, heavy-duty front springs and spoiler delete. When the options pricing leaked, it indicated the package would cost $1,995. If that is the case, it seems like quite a deal.
Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.
The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
