How much do these go for nowadays? are they cool or just naff old fords i wouldnt mind one for a laugh

yes mk3 dad had quite a few of these in the day.

Any ideas on the engines and spec's available? I believe there was a GT model that looked like an american muscle car!!

Cheers, thats a bit pricey for what looks like an old banger, i reckon a nice one is gunna cost a bomb!!

Has a pinto though, they rattle windows loose when cruising past

It says it has an electric ignition, that leads me to believe you get ones without, so how do you start em?
