1987 Ford Escort GT review from North America
"THE best Domestic compact (GT) of that era (1986-89)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only needed normal maintenance/repairs.
General comments?
I purchased this car to use as an ice racer. I like the fully independant suspension I have welded the differential sidegears Soft facias cover sturdy steel bumpers! The heater is strong They were well equipped for their day. The 1.9 H. O has a factory header! The MTX3 transaxle is very strong.
