I still have a 1981 2.0 GLS Ford Cortina with Original Paint and only 76,000km on the odometer, biege sidings and carpet, and seats. Also I have a 1981 W123 200D, still going strong at 205,000km with no overhaul yet. My dad still has his 1975 Corona 2 door hard top with 300,000km on his original 12R engine.

Nice pic, Jkyamog.

There's a close resemblance to the 80's taxi favorite, the Isuzu Gemini. I liked that car as well, not for it's performance (unless you had the 1.6 SOHC gas option) but for it's economy and soft ride.

You mean the 2-door 2.0 Ford Cortina? That's a nice car. I knew somebody who owned one before and they really set the car up nice. Mags, headers, free-flow mufflers, BUT no body-cladding--which was GOOD. They kept the car's lines clean while beefy-ing up the tires. It was one of the 2 fastest cars in the neighborhood--the other being a Mitsubishi Galant Sigma with 2.0 liter SOHC. Though the Mitsubishi had a 2.0 liter SOHC engine, it lacked the all out design-for-power approach of the Ford which had cross-flow heads. The Mitsubishi had siamesed ports, but also had the nice and new-for-the-time Silent Shafts, which made the engine run very smoothly.

any true blue first generation muscle car will do. special mention on the mid-60's corvette, late 60's camaro, and the '65 GT350.

at present, I'm restoring a '67 convertible mustang. i reckon it'll take me 4-6 mos. to complete the job. i'll retain the purist touch in interiors and exterior parts. but, i'll transform/modify the handling and performance to be at par with the new generation of cars.
