We used to have that a Mexico, untill my sister borrowed it just to go to her boyfriend... just 5min. leaving the car parked on the busy road... iT'S GONE... somebody stole it and never been seen!
Missed that reliable car, tho it always got a lot of electrical probs.. my Mom burned her hand while driving it, the plastic cover on the steering cover burned and she touches the burning plastic cover to stop the FiRE!
nice mexico rappid my dad use to have one modded ready to rally (it wound up getting sold which sucks) im looking me and one my cousins are looking to get an oldschool ford as a track car id imagen we will probley wind up with a mid 80's capri (thats newer than i want but still iconic) but we cant realy afford an old escort
I had a mexico in daytona yellow FTB270J... regretfully i sold it for peanuts 14yrs ago...2.2 vulcan pinto engine sidedraught 45 webbers 5 speed box fishnet reccaros RS alloys lsd axel...when i bought it it was in bits and had freshly been painted inside and out even in the boot...with the wrong wings fitted i got some brand new genuine mexico wings and fitted them...there was no interior when i got the car i fitted new carpets and new door cards...the interior was like new with custom pack.
Yeah some lucky sods driving around in it....id love to see it again it would make me very happy to see the car again....i like these cars so much i prefer them to supercars the likes of which clarkson drives on top-gear....i will have another one, one day i absolutly love them...
Darn!
