Ford cortina mk3 1972 superb with a modern twist SOLD

Ford cortina mk3 2 litre zetec – jpl 667k -

in superb show condition, she really needs to be seen to be appreciated.

finished in daytona yellow with black vinyl roof

black interior with leather rs sirrra cosworth recaro front seats and long centre console with the 4 additional gauges

fantastic 70’s colour combination

mot – august 2018 (04/ 08/ 2018) passed with no advisories

tax exempt

5 previous owners, i have the registration history from the d. v. l. a

i have owned since 11/ 02/ 2012 (5 years and 7 months)

previous owner from – 25/ 03/ 2003

she is not your ordinary mk3 ford cortina she has been bought into the 21st century using ford parts to give her a modern twist for reliability and safety combined with 1970’s period and charm.

the conversion was carried out by the previous owner to the folowing specification –

2 litre zetec from a moindeo using the original ford (pre pats) ecu

home made stainless steel headers which mate to the original cortina (x-flow) exhaust, the pipes and silencer are stainless

5 speed type 9 sierra gearbox using 2 litre mondeo clutch and sierra thrust bearing

professionally (cole and sons of bristol) 2 piece propshaft

heavy duty rear axel from 2. 3 v6 mk5 cortina (3. 44:1 ratio) renewed wheel bearings

rear brakes are fiesta discs with sierra callipers using cortina handbrake cable

front brakes are capri 2. 8i vented discs with granada callipers (larger m16)

stainless flexi hoses and kunifer pipes throughout

poly bushed except for front tie bars

front and rear anti-roll bars from facelift cortina

power steering from a 2. 3 v6 mk5 cortina

vinyl roof recovered using original ford pattern vinyl

since purchasing i have under taken to bring her up to a show standard by improving some of the modifications and have commissioned a proffessional bodyshop to complete a bare metal respray in the correct daytona yellow inside and out including door / bonnet and door shuts complete with 2 new front wings and any rust found cut out and carefully replaced. I have comprehensive photographs as evidence to show the work undertaken.

also added were and alarm along with crystal headlights and the installation of sierra cosworth leather recarro front seats. New front and rear screen seals plus new front door seals.

i have also added 4 x “gaz” adjustable dampers and fitted lowered springs to get the stance and ride height just right. The wheels are ford and suit the car very well, these are complimented with a matching set of nankang 185/ 60/ 13 tyres with lots of remaining tread.

a quick shift gear stick and period alloy / leather steering wheel

the brakes and master cylinder have all been re-furbished with new seals form “big red” and have been fitted with new brake pads all round.

the radiator has been re-cored using a modern matrix along with the heater element.

new ignition leads and coild pack have also been fitted along with regular oil and filter changes

also included are the original handbook and ford workshop manual

she is a fantastic looking car in the period colours and drives very well untill recently when number 3 cylinder was diagnosed as having sticking valves down to lack of use.

i have obtained a very good complete 2 litre silvertop zetec with only 87, 000 miles on (reciept to confirm avaiable) as a replacement, something i was going to do over the winter along with a freshen up of the engine bay but i have an oppertunity to purchase another classic from a friend which is to good to miss.

you could quite easly spend the asking price bringing a mk 3 cortina shell up to this condition let alone everything that has been done not to mention the vast spares package so in my opinion this represents a bargin.

there is nothing done on her that cannot be undone so she could be put back to original specification if required and most of the parts to do that are included.

spares –

brand new old stock ford black carpet set

3 x front wings (2 which require a bit of work and 1 which is exceptionally good)

2 x bonnets (i has surface rust and the other a slight dent on the front but both useable)

4 x doors complete with glass and fittings (all have surface rust in places but all are useable)

4 x door cards from a gxl complete with fake wooden inserts plus glove box lid

1 x bootlid in superb condition

2 x new outer cover sills bought just in case before re-spray but not needed.

1 x rear seat lower squab (square pattern to match fitted rears) in superb condition

2 x front seats (square pattern to match fitted rears) with runners both in superb condition with minimal wear

4 x wooden cappings from a 2000e

1 x windscreen

1 x rear winscreen

1 x front bumper complete with rubber bump strip

1 x rear bumper with part rubber bump strip

1 x original “boomerang” steering wheel in great condition

4 x aluminium wheel arch mouldings 2 are still fitted to the original wings the other 2 are loose

i also have the genuine large ford workshop manual (not haynes)

plus various boxes of
interior trim, spare heater fan, lights, wiring loom, etc

all spares will be sold with car which make up hard to come by selection worth in some cases a good few quid especially with interest in these mk3 cortinas picking up momentum.

make sure you bring a vehicle / van capable of carrying it all.

She really needs to be seen to be appreciated. Price dropped as I have now the chance of another classic. My loss is your gain bear in mind there is probably £800 worth of spares which if sold will make her a bargain.
