Cool car Rick, I remember them well myself. My Grandmother had one, yes that right my Grandmother had an Escort GT. I hated those **** automatic shoulder belts, but I was little too, like 10. They hurt my neck, HAHAHA. Good luck with her, she looks very well cared for.

Really good looking Escort. And when the motor goes out, BPT or KLVE swap time

It's easier to do on your car than on mine, electronics wise. 
There's a lot of threads in mazdas24/7 about that swap.

My wife had a '86 and what a POS it was. All kinds of things went wrong with that car which was surprising because I had an '85 and it was solid as a rock. Slow as *****, but dead reliable.

That's pretty impressive.
I was averaging 30+ mpg with my 1992 Escort 1.8L ... sold it back in 2000 when I got my brand new Mustang.
