ID this antique car?

[Redfoot NERD]

It's a 1978.. so I understand it's considered antique. It was imported from Germany by Ford. I just got it out of the body shop yesterday..

I am the 2nd owner.. since 1993 and have the original window sticker!

Anyone know what it is?

Is it an Escort? I'll bet in today's high gas price era you get wonderful gas mileage with it.

One cool car! I want to say that I have seen those around when I live in Poland years ago. I think it might be a Ford Escort Mk II. It was manufactured between 1975 and 1980 in Europe. That's my guess.

Ford Fiesta Mk 1. The Escort had a boot (trunk whatever you call it oveer there lol)

When I first got it in '93 Yvonne [ just turned 98,000 miles ] it would average 36mpg! Not an escort.

You're close Kelly.. actually before that:

About 85% restored.. rather rare.. especially GHIA with rear-window wiper/washer! They were only imported into the US for 3 model years.. 1978, 1979 and 1980.

Must be before everyone's time..

I know I am...

couldn't get much closer, i did kick myself a while after i posted when i realised it was the Ghiia version. Weird to see one done up and looking so good, used to seeing them with no fixtures and windows with just a drivers seat, then raced around a track and smashed to pieces, alot have gone that route here.
Just to break your heart a little lol

Love learning new things...like the boot meaning trunk.

Nerd, old is a good thing.
