When you tell your redneck uncle asks if you'd like them to Escort you to Granny's funeral.

It's what happens when someone has a back yard full of scrap cars, a sawzall, and way too much time on their hands ... and they decide they want an RV ...

It's the hearse for the rednecks from the hills, obviously.

I wonder if Ford ever seriously considered a FWD Escort-based pickup in the '80s.

Nope - they did consider making a Fairmont based ute ... and a few were actually made.

Oh yeah, I know about the Durango. IIRC it was an aftermarket thing on the West Coast.

That’s an 80’s ford escort for sure. Wild choice for that. My 1983 carbureted only had 70hp. Even the later fuel injected ones weren’t more than 100hp.

It's a tool built to serve some defined purpose.

Wheelbase is too long for it to have been built onto the existing Escort without it having been stretched. It's roadworthiness is entirely a function of how well it was built. It looks pretty cleanly executed, but it's the parts you can't see that will make the difference. It doesn't seem to have any sort of functional tailgate or hatch though.

It looks like a homemade camper. There’s a lot of people living in their vehicles out west. This probably has a bed in the back, low to the floor and maybe some storage and small area for a stove up near the front behind the drivers seat. You probably enter by moving the front passenger seat forward. Looks rough but I’m sure it does the job.
