Junkyard Find: 1992 Ford Escort GT

The early-90s Escort GT was a decently fast car for its day, but Escorts were always such disposable cars that you seldom see any of these semi-goofy-looking GTs these days, on the street or in the junkyard. Here's an example that I found in a Denver self-service yard last week. Weighing just 2,458 pounds and equipped with 127 horsepower under the hood, the Escort GT wasn't quite as quick as the Nissan Sentra SE-R or Honda Civic Si. However, the Civic Si cost $11,900, the SE-R cost $11,850, and the Escort GT cost… $11,871? Huh? OK, so the Escort GT wasn't a great deal compared to the Japanese competition. Still, it's sad to think that almost all of them are gone. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
