From the days when Showroom Stock was Showroom Stock - bolt-in cage, full dash and carpet. 11K original (race) miles.

 

On edit: I guess the site doesn't like the word E s c o r t, hence the title...

I can't remember if it was made by Thermos or Igloo. Probably, whichever one was cheaper.

At first I'm all, Meh, lame then I'm thinking this is really cool car.  I like it. 

We didn't have that yellow jug.

I wonder if my parents still have it. It was for beach days and backyard parties.

Are there a few of these out there, or have I seen this car before? I feel like it maybe pops up for sale every couple years.

Offered from the same town, likely the same seller.

 

Before that it was a $2008 Challenge Car
