I worked for a guy that had one in 1993. It was a 85 model that his wife got new. It had 100,00 miles by then. It was the station wagon style. It originally got brought out to be the pilot car on a road job but a couple of us younger punks turned it into the mini service truck.We named it Henry. Weatherproof storage on wheels. The back end always had 500 lbs of junk in it. The luggage rack was good for another 200 lbs. I remember getting on the freeway to go about 100 miles to Fargo for parts. Speed limit was 65 on the freeway. I think it took 2 miles to get up to speed. We worked late into the fall and a couple cold mornings it wouldn't start so we would give it a push with the excavator and pop the clutch. The next summer it got pulled behind a 637 scpraper so you could stand on the roof to reach the rear engine. Scraper guy backed onto it a little bit. Smashed hood and grill and radiator. We took front off and looped the radiator hoses together to drive it around the job site. A salesman at a Ford dealership gave him $1200 cash for it in that condition. That guy had a few of those Ford diesel cars in his collection and Henry became a donor. I got a Chevy Luv diesel a couple years after that. I always thought the Escort was the tougher of the two body wise. The Isuzu in the Chevy Luv is built like a brick. I still got it but the rest of the pickup rusted away.

He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
