10k: Macedonian Domestic Market: 1970 Ford Escort Mk I 1600 GT

The European built Ford Escort Mk I was the replacement for the long in the tooth Ford Anglia, also built in Europe for the European market.  The Escort was the first Ford to be equipped with a rack-and-pinion steering system (years before the Mustang II was launched only to be stripped/parted for all manner of hot rod front ends) and it was renowned for its handling prowess.  Find this 1970 Ford Escort Mk I 1600 GT for sale in Baltimore, MD currently bidding for $7,900 reserve-not-met with 1 day to go.

10k: Sick of Lookyloos: 1969 Marcos 1600 GT


Marcos was a small Welsh automobile manufacturer, founded in post war Britian by two gents (Jem Marsh and Frank Costin) who were inspired by the plywood framed aircraft that helped them win WWII.  Their first car was an ugly beast, but was competitive in racing when driven by chaps like Jackie Stewart and Jackie Oliver.  The next version was a much prettier car, still goofy and wooden framed, but built in limited quantities with engines borrowed from Ford, Volvo and Triumph.  Find this 1969 Marcos 1600 GT for sale in Alpharetta, GA currently bidding for $9,800 via ebay.
