1966 Mk1 Ford Cortina 2 Door twincam engine For Sale

1966 Ford Mk1 cortina 2 door

Regrettably thinning my collection out as I've too much on and not enough time to enjoy/ tend to all my cars!

Mechanically a well sorted old car, it's been fitted with the 1. 8 Zetec 16v twin cam engine and tuned with twin 40 weber carbs and a four branch free flow exhaust manifold and is topped off with a Lotus style ERA cam cover which looks lovely on the car. Engine starts well with a few pumps of the throttle and has a very raspy exhaust note, it has the big head radiator with an electric fan. Clutch is fine as is the 4 speed 1500GT gearbox - car accelerates very well! It still has the original steering box which is surprisingly responsive and keeps the car driving and feeling "proper" in my opinion. Brakes all work fine but seemed slightly spongy on the last test run but may just of been me , they stop the car just fine anyway. Fitted with new 7x13 minilite style alloys with new tyres.

Interior is well presented, nice bright red seats and door cards in good shape, has the GT centre clocks and a nice aftermarket Rev counter that is pretty accurate, the speedo is still reading in KIlometers. headlining isn't great maybe something to improve on.

Foam filled fuel tank cell fitted in the boot along with battery and fire extinguisher.

Very solid for an old "66 ford! It has had its fair share of welding with it visibly having had sills, archs, boot floor repairs a few small patches on inner wings, there's a blister on the top of the headlight area on the o/ s front wing and the rear wheel archs and sills aren't the tidiest - signs of filler but there's no holes, there are some other areas that could do with attention. If your seriously interested in the car I can send you detailed pics of all the affected areas.

All the lights and horn wipers etc work as they should and the car has around 10 months Mot.

Hope I've covered most of it , it's a really nice useable old car with a modern engine, if your not used to old cars ie the rattly, smelly noisy kind and are only used to your 3 year old mondeo then this probably isn't the car for you!
