Mate Selling His 3dr...

[FletchCossie]

My mate is selling his 3dr Cossie, which has my Escort's old engine in it

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3044232.htm

Ive told him £15k is a lot and 3dr's are struggling to sell for £10k for good examples, but he says with the ex-works shell if he can prove it, it will be worth £30k

If it was cheaper I would definitely be looking to buy it No expense spared as the owner's Dad owns an F40 and has lots of cash His only selling to put cash into his bike racing that his just started and his only used the 3dr a few times since building it.

Sorry mate there are other cars i would rather spend that kind of money on

[FletchCossie]

Thats cool mate, Ive already told him Im not interested at that price. I would say its worth £8k roughly, but I wouldn't pay more than £6k cause Im tight Whats putting you off it, so I can feedback to him

Nice car that but its a bit on the steep side on on price

[Carlo]

15k could get you a proper decent cossie at the moment ! be dfferent if it had a big spec engine in it but it hasnt ! i mean you could have bought justins 500 bhp escort for that 3 door , sticker pauls saph with 6k change , im sure if i trolled through i could point out more ! im not sure what its worth really maybe paul at north yorks could help your mate price it but its just a 3 door with a cage not something you could polish on a nice day & pamper

I too think its massively over priced,, the paint scheme doesn't help it at all,, maybe if it had proper graphics it would be look better

£15k is a bit ott tbh imo people want original cars for that i am considering putting mine back to standard and just putting it away for a couple years,Steve 414bhp/402lb ft torque on a t34.55 is this possible? i thought a .63 housing only goes to 400bhp on a they max out on

[Carlo]

Would it not be worth bursting ? is it a genuine 500 front bumper ? its a scs engine as well

[FletchCossie]

Got the rolling road print out for the engine from SCS. Even Jimbo questioned it when I started posting on here

Thanks for all the comments, all I can do is pass the info onto my mate

I spent quite a bit of time with your mate talking about this car and he mailed me many detailed piccs to help him find if this was a works shell

I told him that IMO it defo wasnt a works shell
