Ken Block's 1978 Ford Escort is up for sale on Bring a Trailer, part of Hearst Autos. This is Block's first rear-wheel-drive Gymkhana build, packed with tarmac rally-spec parts and a punchy four-cylinder that revs to the moon. The car was designed for speed and maneuvering around obstacle courses and tires. It features a widebody and a reinforced version of a lowly Euro-Ford economy sedan. The Escort was part of the Petersen Automotive Museum's exhibition on Ken Block's life last year.
