An economical, fun Ford! I always wanted a 1957 Thunderbird, when Ford brought out the EXP two-seater, I grabbed it! Still love it 22 years later!

You have had the car 22 years? Awesome!!! With 300k, have you had to redo the engine, tranny etc? Tell us more... I loved those cars.

I think it is totally outstanding that you have saved and loved an EXP since new. I owned a 1982 model from 1991 to 1994,and I miss that quirky little car! Other than normal wear items, the only trouble I had was needing a new alternator once in over 70,000 miles I put on the car. I think it'sad that the EXP is one of the most forgotten Fords of all time. Today's slammed import-tuner crowd has no idea of what a Ford EXP is. The best way I can describe one is that it was related to the Escort the same way the Karmann-Ghia was related to the Volkswagen Bug. The only complaint I ever did have about this car is that was a little under-powered. I don't care, I want another one now!
