hi, now this is a very reluctant sale- i was hoping to restore this car for myself due to its rarity, however i need to fund my mk3 gt cortina build.
1964 ford cortina estate. this is the super model, with the 1500cc engine, and twin chrome strips along the side. i have the v5, looks to have had only 4 or 5 owners in the past. the car is showing around 60,000 miles, which, more likley than not, is probably genuine. i have a few old tax discs, the latest being 2011.
the estate is pretty much complete as far as i can see. the 1500 engine is meant to be a good runner, but its in the boot at the moment. the interior is complete, blue and dusty!
the car will need welding and new repair panals to get it solid again, looks like someone has started in the past but not got very far with it. strut tops have been plated, i would be fitting new inner wing tops as oppose to plating if it was me. cills and rear arches will want replacing, although one arch looks pretty good to be honest. kick panals and drivers door-hinge post want repairing, floors don't look to bad, but will need work. front wings will repair. worth replacing the front and rear valances if you are going the whole hog. doors look pretty good, tailgate will need a small repair to the bottom edge. lower rear quarters, maybe. anyway you get the drift...
the car is very original, and although now mostly covered in red oxide, the original paint is visible. navy blue ( may be alcudia or something?) with ermine white roof. i would be doing the side stripe ermine white too if it was me.
its a very worth while project, and i know i will end up kicking myself if it goes, but could do with the money and space back from it.
the estate rolls freely, i can organise any transport, via a freind if need be. please get in touch with any questions etc. i am looking for £2500 ono.
thanks, matt
