The red XR (first few seconds) looks familiar, like it was for sale recently.

The one to watch though is were Travis does a grind with that Subaru wagon. Someone tell him it is not a skateboard.

They bought that XR off craigslist in 2018.

When filming the Escort Cosworth scenes for gymkhana 10 they broke some stuff and found an XR on craigslist to scavenge parts from.
