Yeah, I see plenty of those in the scrapyard. Heck, I saw one get crushed yesterday.

No. For some reason, some idiot bought a full truckload of Cosworth Escort RSs a few years back. Come to find out, they were all dead, so he scrapped them. In my city.

For the crime of crushing more than one RS he should be hung by the dick until dead.. Just the RS body without a functioning engine would fetch a good price around here

Yeah, but I don't care about American shit. All I care about is the Japanese tuners.

 

I would cry over getting a 94 Integra crushed after a run in with a wall, but I wouldn't care the slightest if a Mustang from the 60s was crushed.

Well, if that body were to be sold here, at most it would get 200 bucks. Engine, maybe 700 at most.

I'd just like to mention that the RS cosworth was designed and manufactured in germany.

Yep. But it was a mistake letting my dad drive it, even when his car died. He decided to DRIFT in the car in a parking lot. He screwed, and it hit a wall at 50MPH. Car wasn't insured, so full loss. You can read my last status update.

You're hard out of luck. All of the RS that were ever here in my city are gone. Either crushed, or worse, shredded, along with the engines.

There are probably a few around still. 

It's sad when one gets wrecked or crushed since there were only around 7000 made.

Nope, none left. It's like as if they just wiped them off the face of the earth here. But there are probably some somewhere else in the world.

Craigslist had a few no image ads out for cosworths. So they are probably still around. I'd just have to look a bit harder^^

i feel so sad for the engine, it's cosworth, it would have been fixed and revamped then sold for thousands dollars!

accidental things occur too much sadly but you still can get one, i think they sell them cheap in the US or is it expensive to pay for insurance then repair it afterward?

It was worth close to 10 grand. No way I can get over the loss.

Yeah, but this is an ITR. These things are rare in the states. Heck, this one was imported directly from Tokyo.

well, it's rare in the states.. since it's a japanese manufacturer you will find tons of them in Tokyo like you said! 

 

was it new when you imported it from Tokyo?

 

btw, i still argue with my dad to give me his Peugeot 309..

Nope, but it went all out a few years after the original owner bought it.
