Escort GT FS (toronto area)
hello everyone,
I am selling my 91 Escort GT I was planning on going turbo so i dropped a new engine and tranny, however I am now buying a Miata and cannot afford two cars for the time being.
1991 Escort GT-white with grey interior
230kilometers on car
100kilometers on engine
The car has a "new" engine and tranny out of a 95 escort that got rear ended. The engine and tranny are in great shape. The car has a new muffler and a very sharp looking tip. There is no catalitic-converter so it has a few extra ponies however, the car is not extensively loud or smelly. You can barely notice it HONESTLY. The car is lowered and handles very well. There are no power options or sunroof aside from power mirrors. The car has minor rust and the front left fender was dented, though i pooped it out(you still see minor damage) . If you are interested in the car, I will take care of emissions and safety. The interior is in decent condition. The ac has been removed to free up a few extra ponies. The heat blows really hot. It still has the stock deck.
The engine has a brand new timing belt, accessory belt, water pump, plugs and wires. Their is also a brand new radiator fan and radiator fluid, as well as thermostat. Their is also a brand new fuel filter and the injectors and fuel rail were all cleaned a week ago by TAG motorsports. The clutch is brand new (literally 3 weeks old) it is an aftermarket clutch and it can easily handle 180+@the wheels. Their is also a brand new release bearing and pilot bearing. The transmission also has brand new fluid and has no problems changing gears. The synchros are all in good working order. It is a 91, so it has the much desired two-piece rear spolier. The hatch works exceptionally and opens/closes great.
Now, unlike most car salesmen, I will tell you what is wrong with the car.
1. The drivers side windows does not work right. I do not whether it needs a new cable, or if the glass is just off the track. The window will slide 3 inches down and sits there. If you try to crank it, it will not move.
Probobly a sub $75 job to fix if you take it to a shop.
2. The front tires need replacement. They are drivable, but squeal on hard turns and would be not so fun in the winter lol
3. The front brakes need rotors and pads.
I paid $1200 for the car in September. I have put thousands into this car. I am asking $1400 for it, since thats what I just spent putting the new engine, tranny and clutch in. (and thats without all of the labour costs) This is a great deal, period.
If you are interested in pics or the car, pm me. Please do not post ***** this thread.
