Re: Where are all the Classic Fords Hiding?

Thank you Ray for the offer but I don't yet know what our plans will be the winter, or even if we will do a winter trip? I will be sure to let you know if we are coming down your way. We are currently in Beddgelert, Wales and the house we are renting is right next to a steam train line. I know that ...

Where are all the Classic Fords Hiding?

I have been touring around the U.K. for over a month now and I keep my eyes open and camera ready for all the classic vehicles you might expect to find here. I did find some nice Escorts in the Beaulieu Auto Museum but that's to be expected, I am looking for the classics that are actually being used...

Re: CL - Ford Cortina. Mk1 - $19,900 (CA)

I honestly think that he doesn't want to sell that car! His sales tactic defies logic, it has been for sale for a number of years now and the price just keeps going up and up, having said that though, it was once listed at 25 and a half grand. To be fair, the car does present well but it is a 4 door...

Re: Mk2 Lotus Cortina on BAT

The Body is a 1969. The interior dash, center consol, and passenger seats are 69/70 as well. Yes, it is definitely a newer car, mine was a series 1a Mk2 that started life as a red car but had been painted orange by the time I bought it in 1973, mine also had the high dash and all black interior wit...

Re: 1600E for sale

The guy must be out of his mind, it is the same car and same pictures as the BAT auction that closed about 3 months ago, the car sold for $8200.00. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-ford-cortina-3/ I suspect that the car has some hidden issues for the owner to be dumping it just after 3 months ...

Re: Mk2 Lotus Cortina on BAT

Seller said, " Original shell was replaced due to damage in '91". Can it be, Brett, VIN tag came off your damaged '67 LC and re-bodied using a '69 Cortina GT. The more I learn about it, the more I think that is the case, there is no doubt that that VIN tag is from my car. I never actually...

Re: Mk2 Lotus Cortina on BAT

I have my suspicions too about if it was a factory Cortina Lotus of just a Cortina with a twin cam installed in it? I don't know if the VIN plate is fake but it indicates a factory twin cam. Vin decoder. https://www.lotus-cortina.com/mk2plate.htm The more I look at the VIN decoder, the more I feel i...

Re: Kent L Block $250 Canadian

Yes, I was thinking that it could make an interesting engine if it was bored to 85mm with a six bolt 1500 crank, it would make a nice, free revving 1650 crossflow with the right rods and pistons. I am just day dreaming when I say this as I already have my hands full of crossflow stuff.
