Not really sure. Got mine for R15k, lots of little gremlins still being found and sorted out... Depends on model and condition. Sports are worth more, and becoming scarce as most are being shipped over to the UK :(

As Drakie says Johan, lots of them are leaving the Colony... I have had a look
at them as well, anything from R6500 for a chicken coop, up to R45/50000. Unfortunately
most still around either gets a V6 or some turbo 16valve engine. Insomnia has a nice clean one.
Some other members I'm sure has some lurking under their carports too. Mk1 Cortina's are
crazy difficult to find, as is Escorts.....

Not to mention the Rotaries out there! :x (I'm all for Rotary power, but NOT in an Escort!!)

Okay, before you kill me... Here's what I say: If it's your car, and you build it right, I don't really care what you put where... But I would, in my own car, never do the Rotary 'Scort thing. He's a Ford, he'll get Ford bits 8)

That's a neatly built Escort, by the way :mrgreen:

Nice conversion, but I agree with Dragon Girl, its a waste!

Put your Rotaries in OS Mazdas, your Jap Twin campies in Corollas, Dasbus etc.

My five Scorts stay true blue as the rest of the FPT clan....

Lets not highjack the Skortjie thread. :?
