This 1979 Ford Escort RS2000 Custom has been languishing off the road for many years, according to the seller, and has the added bonus of being a runner! Thankfully, the cambelt was changed before this was checked. Phew!
It’s always hard to tell from a few photos and, to be honest, you’re going to want to ask a few questions and probably view the car before shelling out for it, but this does look like a good one and the perfect candidate for a quick restoration in preparation to hit the road next year.
And even if a global pandemic kills the 2021 show scene like it did this year, what better car to nip down the shops in to get those essentials?
