Diesel Ford Escort

I was wondering if anyone else owned a diesel Ford Escort? I owned one that was a four-door I bought used back in about 1985 or 1986. I bought it from the local Ford Dealership here in Fort Worth TX. I remember how fun it was to drive and did not want to give it up but had to part with it when it was totaled in an accident. I remember filling up the tank with diesel and it would get about 40 MPG. It did not have a lot of power with its 4 cylinder non-turbo diesel engine and five speed standard transmission especially when using the air conditioning, a must here in Texas. By the time it was totaled, it had 200,000 plus miles on it with the body falling apart around the engine. I was once told the engine was made by Volvo but I am not sure on that. It was my first love with a diesel,  now I have a 95 Power Stroke with 206,000 miles on the old beast.  I am a subscriber to Diesel Power and loved the article about the Chevy Chevette diesel. Would love to see an article on the diesel Escort.
