Mustang 6 cylinder= 4 lug

Mustang V8 = 5 lug.

And remember,rear wheel drive,& front wheel drive
aren't correctly compatible.I saw a Fiesta w/ Rwd wheels -
-looked very wrong! Offset is different.

Wrecking Yard in AZ Going Out of Business

There's a wrecking yard SW of Phoenix,Arizona going out of business. The owner's selling off the cars for scrap prices.Some interesting cars. I saw (from the pictures) 3 Cortina MKII 2 doors,a 100E,& part of a MKII Consul next to the 100E. Go to this link: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?i...

Lotus engine.

Gary,

Glad to see that you made it to the "other"site!
Looking at the pictures makes me feel that we're sometimes
spoiled here on the West Coast.

Visiting the Seattle,Washington area

I'll be up in the Seattle area in about 1-1/2 weeks.
I'd like to meet with any other English Ford people.
I'll also have an empty truck ('94 Dodge Dakota),
in case I can help with moving parts,etc. on the way
up,or back.

Anyone see the James Taylor Special on PBS?

I was watching this,& even my Wife noticed when he
mentioned "Ford Cortina".
Seems that after going to England,he returned to the
US with a new '68 Cortina (an estate,if I remember right).
I love to hear stuff like that!

September,2009 - 105E's 50th

I just happen to notice that the 105E will turn 50 in
September 2009.
Is there any way we could have some kind of get-
- together next year?This is too big to pass up.
I'm hoping to get our '60 105E going (#126,316).

Jaime owns the MKII Lotus Cortina that Ford gave to Colin Chapman. Just think if Ford had sold the original Escort over here. I remember when a friend & I went to a Ford dealer in Vallejo,CA, while we were racing our Fiestas at Sears Point in (I think) 1981. We looked at the new Ford Escort.... ...

The new one has 160 pages - the old one 158.Good referance book

No, I don't consider Fiestas diposible,just bought & sold them due to circumstances at the time (some bad decisions made - for sure). My "claim to fame" was that I was the only one in the US who had a Cortina MKI,MKII,& MKIII at the same time!Unfortunatly,my neighbors were not impr...

Cortina (sort of),in Automobile Magazine

If you go the the magazine's website,& look up the article by Rusty Blackwell about buying an MGB/GT in CA,& driving it to Michigan - - click on where it says "MORE PICTURES". Our Cortina is the last picture. Sorry to brag - but we don't get much press nowadays. - Doug
