I've got this one myself- great casting, one I wouldn't mind see creep back into the budget JL line with some nicer wheels and details. Too bad the real car is much too obscure. :(

Support your local demo derby.

Glad you like it the EXP David. It helps having a local New Holland implement dealer that has 25+ year old ERTL stock still on the pegs. If anyone else wants one of these Fords, lmk and send me a pm. I was over there last weekend and they still had two on the pegs for $2.95. They also still had perhaps one of the '57 Thunderbirds by ERTL as well for the same price.

That is cool. I have never seen it. Crafty if you can still garb one for me I would appreciate it. I had one back in the 80's. It was such a pig of a car.

Interesting. That's a great diecast to own. The seldom produced subjects are the most fun.

Not with the car-nuts here, Sean! :lol:

I remember when these were new...it was a dog...an Escort + a 200 lbs heavier body = a SLOWER Escort! The 0 to 60 time for the prior year's Escort was 14.6 seconds--and no, that wasn't in the quarter. My boss had one, and thought he was cool. :duh: The fit and finish was horribibble, too...definitely not a shining hour for FoMoCo.

It's nice to see a ne'er-do-well represented in diecast, so we can keep in mind what NOT to build! :bangles:

My dad almost bought one back in 82, he was all set to but the money down on it when he found out he could get an 82 Stang with T-top for $10.00 more.

What would you have done?

The Ertl example is tops. Zee made one with pullback action. I am sure there is one more but cannot think at the moment who made it! :(
