johnf_456, Apr 30, 10:25am
What is it really

bevharris1938, Apr 30, 10:30am
i just said , an old ford escort 2L 69 2door , looking on here you might get $2000 for a deregod one at most

One wonders if it is a genuine BDG Escort with forest flairs. It's not a twin cam by any chance! If so grab it with both hands

tractor9, Apr 30, 10:38am
Don't think from memory they came out 2l that early.

johnf_456, Apr 30, 10:40am
Well you not sure hence asking what is it really. I don't think they made the 2L that early! Brains to tired to think.

thanks for the pik , guards are bigger , more flared out , looks like factory not bolt on

tractor9, Apr 30, 10:57am
Even if it's not a genuine 2L, still be a nice car to own.

i-n-horz, Apr 30, 11:27am
5 hundy! holy mother of god man are you mad!.give'em the greenbacks a.s.a.p.

roys351, Apr 30, 11:29am
yep even if its not original its worth more than that in parts & op gt dash!

pollymay, Apr 30, 12:18pm
Happens everyday, take it. I know someone that got a genuine Bathurst monaro for 2 hundy. Matching numbers and all, old guy was happy to see it go. Just if it's your neighbour don't let him find out it's worth something and have him get shitty at you ;)

for a de-reg car I would say $500 would be right. it may have a bit of rust which would hinder getting it back on the road. and if that 2.0L isn't the original engine (which I too doubt they had the 2.0 factory fitted that early) then you'll be up for a cert too.

zetec, Apr 30, 10:34pm
Mk1 did have a 2litre, the RS2000, but they were not made in 1969, they were built late in the model life and not sold here.

franc123, Apr 30, 10:39pm
Correct, the one in question has almost certainly been converted.

johnf_456, Dec 30, 2:54am
Yup sure is not factory 2l
