    Not real proud of the Escort,but it did get 25mpg around town.

    Malibu was fun.I sold it to one of my best friends & believe it or not,he is doing a frame off restoration on it now.The frame is being coated & the body is currently on the rotisserie!

    Hey now! I'd love to find a 1985 Escort wagon. I've got the big brother Fairmont Squire wagon, and figured I could have a Mutt and Jeff driveway! :rofl2: Welcome aboard :Welcome:

    Is that yours? Sure looks nice. I'd never find one around here like that. Timing is off for me right now. I'm up to my neck (and then some) with major house renos. But I'd sure like that one.
