Is Ford Ford Escort mk1 1970 a good car?
Is it a good car to drive with traffic? Hows the handling and power?
cheers!
Lol - terrible compared to a new Mazda 6:)
they sit too high in their factory configuration
of course youll be doing some work on it if its original
brilliant little car - plenty of fun
put mine into a power pole twenty years ago doing 100km/hr plus through a round-a-bout
I would crawl through nettles to get hold of another 2-door in good condition
EDIT
the great thing about such a car is you can truly make it something amazing
and so much work you can do on it yourself
mine was the same colour - not quite as well kitted out
45 years ago, it was an OK but not outstanding small family car with a variety of engine and trim options.
What that car is like now depends on the maintenance and repairs done in the intervening years.
"Good Car"… Is difficult to define in a car that is 45 yrs old!
They were an extremely successful model in their day. Ford made and sold thousands of them, built with humble 1100cc right through to rally bred 2000cc 'fire breathing' performance cars, with huge worldwide rally successes.
Your biggest problem will be finding one that hasn't been eaten away with rust! If you can, 'any' '70's Escort will be an appreciating asset, but don't expect it to drive and handle like a 'modern' car.
- Where can I buy a grille for my 1970 ford Fairlane 500? I can't seem to find the part anywhere, its not listed in the parts magazine, amazon, ebay or any junkyards. The closest thing i could find was a 1968 fairlane grille, but i don't know if that will work
- If you have enough money, can you have a new classic car built? Like can I pay to have ford build me a 1970 Mustang? Lets say I don't want to buy an old car and restore it, I want a 1970 but straight off the factory line. Can you have a car built with the old style frame, engine, trans, etc?
- Can a 1970 Ford Mustang exhaust fit on a 1976 Ford Gran Torino? I've been looking for a new exhaust system for my 1976 Ford Gran Torino but i can't find anything so i was wondering if a 1970 Mustang exhaust would fit in my 1976 Ford Gran Torino if not could i modify it to make it fit and if i have to modify it what would i have to modify?
- Which car is bigger, Ford Focus mk1, or Ford Fusion EU? I'm looking for a car for the family. We're satisfied with Ford cars, so I want one of these. They're both in the same price range. Which is bigger in terms of seating space? I don't really care about cargo.
