    FS: 1991 Ford Escort GT, SCCA Improved Touring A



    Improved Touring A
    1991 Ford Escort GT
    Caymen Edition
    $6000.00 or BRO


    Clean MA title on hand.

    Approx 4000 race miles in 11 years.

    Current log book (2 books long)

    Not the fastest, but has potential to be built up.
    Good for new driver.
    Predictable, forgiving and reliable.

    Never been crashed hard. (it has had a few bumps)
    The only crash damage ever was a few bent rear suspension parts.



    Details:
    former moonroof car
    Pacesetter race header
    2" exhaust w/ Cherry Bomb (runs 95 - 97db)
    Phantom Grip limited slip
    Cusco front camber plates
    South Bend Clutch 4 puck racing clutch.
    Ground Control Coilovers
    (#500 f, #440 r springs)
    KYB struts front, NAPA Struts rear
    Suspension Tech sway bar kit
    Off The Line front lower tie bar
    Hawk Brake pads; front- blues, rears- blacks
    K&N air filter in stock air box
    6 point roll cage, custom 1.5" tube

    Rota Slipstream wheels 6.5 x 15

    **Kirkey Economy race seat (15 1/2" wide) mounted on stock seat base not included.
    But could be convinced otherwise.

    Work needed: (but car still raceable)
    - Phantom Grip needs springs replaced (or put in actual LSD unit)
    - struts need 'freshening' (or I'll get you details about the Koni inserts)

    Needed to pass tech:
    - new safety harness
    - windshield

    Extra stuff:
    - 7 Rota Slipstream wheels (6.5x15) w/tires
    - 1 set silver multi spoke wheels (6.5x15) w/ med tread (damp to wet) Kumho Victoracers
    - 1 set almost full tread Kumho Victoracers, not mounted
    - unknown number of stock wheels with tires
    - extra bumper covers, front & rear, Caymen Green (front has home made air dam)
    - 2 sets of doors; 1 Caymen, 1 blue
    - 2 sets of front fenders; 1 Caymen, 1 blue
    - extra motor; 1.8 L, 140k miles, ran before it was pulled, good for race buld
    - random front end parts good for 'core charge' at parts store
    - factory repair manual (as required by the GCR)
    - no doubt a bunch I can't remember
    - you'll have to earn your own trophies and memories

        The motor is the stock (hasn't been rebuilt) 1.8L. IT rules limit what can be done, but haven't made it to that point yet. Was looking into HeadsUp Motorsports (in VT) to do a rebuild.

                    I think I need a bump here. Great chance to get into SCCA (EMRA, NASA,...) racing easily!!

                      Do a search for WIZARD Racing Team, check the videos. Got mine up via Google video.

                          My fuel guy just got into one of those. Pete Punderson. He moved up from his rental Miata.
