88 escort GT

And everyone has a different option on what rust free means. My EXP was sold to me as rust free. It was rust free aide from the front sway bar mounts witch were rather rusty.
Some say rust free means 0% rust, others say it means no rust on the body and some even think it means no rot.

I’m new to the group but I was lucky enough to find a 100% original, never wreck, garage kept 88 Escort GT in Oxford white. Is that’s rare?

Yeah, but I suspect that even with the "patina" style of rust, one still should use rusty metal primer (or something equivalent).

It means no rot, at least in places where they salt the roads.

Depends on the person. Like I said not everyone has the same idea. To me, being from Ohio rust free means 0% rust. Surface rust is still rust and not patina. patina is aged paint and what not.
In other words rust=rust and not rust=rot, rot=bad rust.
But that is just me.

Hi Tim,

That indeed sounds like a rare car in that condition. Could you post a picture or two?

Where about are you located?

I missed out on a similar car in my city a couple years ago, it had sold before I saw it although I did get to admire it parked on the street afterwards.
