84 EXP Turbo Coupe!! Eugene $390!!!! Reply #1 – March 24, 2007, 07:06:13 PM Aerobird Motorsports,I've never heard of a turbo EXP. So was there also a turbo Escort? I could kick myself for a blunder I made about 10 years ago; I had a non-running '83 V45 Honda Interceptor and a guy jokingly/seriously offered to trade a running/good condition EXP (not turbo) for it. I turned him down because I thought there was no way he was serious unless something was seriously wrong with the car, or he wanted a lot of boot along with the bike. I guess he just really wanted my bike, which I sold for $500 about a year later. The car was definitely worth more than $500.Fordman3 Quote Selected

Fordman3Yes there was.For a couple of years, you could get a Escort GT Turbo too.Not all '84-'85 Escort GT's were turbocharged though, it was an option.Here are some pictures of a 1985 Escort GT Turbo.Brent Quote Selected

84 EXP Turbo Coupe!! Eugene $390!!!! Reply #13 – April 01, 2007, 12:23:09 PM Back when I got into Fords I bought a '84 Lynx (same as Escort) that got 35 mpg with cold a/c. loved that car. I always wanted to do a 302/AOD swap on one of those. It would require a Chevette or Mustang II front subframe tho. Quote Selected

I could easily get 40 mpg with it. I still have a soft spot for those cars and it would be neat to stumble across one of these turbo cars in mint cond.Brent Quote Selected
