Default mk 1-2 escorts - prices on the up ???

as title , im into the ford scene but not really the classic side of things ,


been on the lookout for a new project and would really like a mk 1-2 escort ,

but even base models and 4 doors seem to be commanding stupid money at the moment ,,

was looking at around 3 k to get me a project ,

but anything worth considering seems silly money ,

granted im looking on ebay , any better places to look ?

I've looked at mk 2 escorts on Internet !

Cosworth powered , roll cage , no carpets etc etc , they don't seem to be selling for asking prices ,maybe too dear ?
But standard cars rs2000 etc seem to be going ok


Just what I've noticed !!

Given the price of basket case shells and panels, I'd be looking for a 'finished' one, Ive seen shells going for 2+ in need of panel replacement therapy and whole cars with a decent spec going for 7-12!
