Re: Cortina Mk1 4 door Automatic

The Cortina is now listed on Facebook market place for $27,500. Not a bad idea - when someone says the price is way out of line (which it is) he can reduce it to a more "reasonable" :shock: level. Silly bugger. Have to admit, that this ad of mine (just clearing the garage) could be seen t...

Re: Cortina Mk1 4 door Automatic

"I tried searching for any MK1 for sale in N America in at least #2 condition for <$US13K. Not anymore ." Oh that ship has definitely sailed! Still wouldn't pay the asking for this one though, regardless of the exchange rate etc Wonder what the asking will be this time next year? :D :D :D

Re: Cortina Mk1 4 door Automatic

Really stupid asking price.

I cyber-chatted with him a couple of years back when he was asking just under $12K seems like a reasonable man but as I said above - Really stupid asking price.

Re: 302 Powered Mk2 Cortina BAT

That video does hint at the potential of the Cortina and I am convinced that it is quick without seeing it at full tilt, I just noticed in one of the photos that the driveshaft is somehow rubbing against what looks like a seatbelt bolt, that must make some noise?? https://i82.servimg.com/u/f82/17/1...

For a few months I have been feeling a lot less robust than usual, I put it down to the normal ageing process (I'm 75 and was in decent shape) until the process really acce...

Re: Mk1 GT 4 door in SF Bay Area
