I loved the Escorts, but never liked the RS2000's...

Wish I had a garage full now...

I have a 99 ZX2. It's a peppy little car and 35 mpg.

I like it.

Nice, but not for $65K thanks. and its far from original
what's an original mint RS2000 worth?

I think you'd get an original MK1 Mexico for less.

I think it's value is that it is an engineered V8.

My understanding is it casnt be enginerered under today regs, so that makes enginered and legally registered V8 escorts, cortinas and capris worth good $$$.

I see its also running a C4 Auto, having owned a couple of modified Escorts in the past, I couldn't think of anything worse,
it doesn't give any power figures, but I recon a good turbo twin cam kit to the original 2L would make better power and overall a better car.

Each to their own I guess, but I don't think its worth half of what he's asking.

By the look of it I reckon it's a near stock Windsor with a good exhaust and induction setup. Heads look to be stock. So she's probably no fireball but with such a low weight I guess it doesn't need to be.

There is a green one which is fully engineered in Adelaide.

Edit:

This green one was listed on here a few years ago with some more details in the advert.

It would do good skids, that's about it.

The year, 1976, doesn't make sense, could be a typo. Aussie RS was 79-80. 76 were the 25 UK spec homologation cars but they had FORD in letters on the nosecone not the badge. They're worth that money and more in original state.
Agree with previous posts, any value would be in the engineering and driveline, theres a couple of V8 TC/D Cortinas on there too asking the same money, whereas my 30 000km barnfind TD would struggle to get 10k.
