Do you think a 1975 Ford Escort GL is worth $690,000? Well, apparently they are. The only catch is, that it was formerly the pope’s. I guess it belonged to him before he inherited a city, because frankly, what ruler of the royal city drives a Ford Escort?
A millionaire bought it to go with his quaint 600 vehicles and claims he won’t drive it ever. I wouldn’t either, that thing looks like a piece of junk. But he also added, “Hopefully, in my life, I’ll be able to go back and touch this car and feel the pope’s spirit.” Maybe that “spirit” can help make the car run on dreams and starlight too…
My uncle used to have a car like that. Except that it was seriously fast. Had a 2.0 litre engine and went like the wind. I think this was one of the early cars they started to race Rally.
He drove my brother, cousin and I skiing one time in it. So much fun, the back end was all over the place.
