The Focus hatchback was 168 inches long...two inches shorter than the EXP. The current Fiesta hatchback is 160 inches long and the first generation Fiesta was 140 inches long. If the EXP was "just about the dinkiest little machine ever," what are the Focus and Fiesta?

They built over 200,000 EXPs, but I don't remember ANY being abandoned by the side of the road...nor can I recall any Pacers ditched. I don't remember first-generation US Escorts (and EXPs) being very durable either...just not abandoned.

Yeah BUT: What about scrapped or crushed?

Point me to where I can find one...

I remember someone once told me that if I could get up to Kentucky they had one they would GIVE me, but I'm still in money trouble. I'd LOVE to go get it, but I lost track of who it was.

The time is coming when I might be able to do that...

I have a neighbor that I help when his customs get into electrical trouble who will loan me a trailer ANYTIME!

It's all about the gas money...

I want one of those real bad too



(Strange reasoning: I want nothing but fords in my driveway again one day. Among them a truck and a high-mileage trick car)

NASCAR LOGIC: High horsepower, ultralightweight, excellent handling, efficiency, survivability, reliability, tunable over a wide range, cost effective

Something that makes the daily commute FUN!

What did happen to the EXP?...........I have not seen one in 20yrs.
I see Pinto's all the time, but never a EXP.
I used to have a girlfriend that had a 83 EXP, quick little car, but a little cramped inside....If you get my drift.

They vanished, like they never were.

I just don't know why.


~potential "Pocket ROCKETS"...

I don't think anyone payed any attention to modifying them
The means for doing that are wider than ever now

If you look at wiki,........The first picture of a EXP is one sitting in a junkyard,.......I guess that says something!

Yes it does - it means that if you want to seriously get one, you had better do it quick.

The surviving bodies are like to be scrapped and go to China!

Yet it's a true "MINICAR" made by FORD. The like is not to be seen again...

I believe they are "HOTRODDABLE"
