Watch incredible moment urban explorer finds ultra-rare Ford Escort in car graveyard full of abandoned motors
INCREDIBLE footage shows the moment an urban explorer found an ultra-rare Ford Escort in a car graveyard full of abandoned motors.
Stuart Stokes, who goes by the moniker IMSTOKZE, shared a video of the moment he found the amazing classic on social media.
He regularly posts rare and classic cars that have been abandoned on his channel.
The YouTuber was shocked to discover a rare Ford Escort Mark 2 45 van amongst others which had been left to rot in a barn.
The inside of the car was mostly gutted but Stuart still believed it was a fantastic find.
The YouTuber said: “Wow this is unreal. I’d love an Escort, I would.
“It looks pretty good and is quite clean.”
Ford first manufactured the Escort Mark 2 series in January 1975.
The first production models had rolled off the production lines on December 2 1974.
The estate and van versions used the same doors, roof and rear panelwork as the Mark I, but with the Mark II front end and interior.
IMSTOKZE found the abandoned Ford along with a collection of rusty classic cars collecting dust in that garage.
The car enthusiast showed his viewers the current state of the car having been left abandoned in a barn for decades.
He said: “This has been off the road for a very long time as you can imagine.
“It’s got good bones and some of it is still really clean.
“Hopefully this one will be back on the road soon.”
Inspecting the car he points out where there was rust and missing parts.
Faded writing on the side of the car was just about visible to viewers as he moved the camera around the motor.
However, the front end had been renewed and the registration number was clear.
The YouTuber said that overall the motor “looks quite good”.
He added that the inside of the car was clean and there was no rot in the foot well area or floor.
It comes after other explorers stumbled across a long-forgotten graveyard abandoned in the woods.
Meanwhile, an incredible car graveyard on an abandoned farm was revealed in a video online.
