Would ya pay $690,000 for a Ford Escort?!

[sablescort]

That was the price paid for the late Pope John Paul II's 1975 Ford Escort (the European version not sold in the USA til 1981) and the car's new owner is a Baptist of all things!

My lord, this Escort is waaay worth more than the value of my current ZX2 Escort and 3 other Escorts I have owned before combined...*thud*

This thread remind me of Princess Diana.

The rumor in medias that her favorite car (I beleive it´s ford escort) was sold for 69,000 pounds few years after her death.
