Used Ford Cars for Sale near Flint, MI

The 1975 Ford Cortina is the greatest car ever built... although i may be somewhat biased due to the fact that i have owned 3 of them. The pick of he model line up (and my current ride) is the Australian available only, Six Cylinder Cortina. The only problem i have had is in the handling department. the car has a slight tendancy to understeer due to the extra weight of the 4.1 ltr Straight Six, but this can be avoided by liberal application of the accelerator thus inducing Oversteer :)

Lots of work done, full animal fur interior, custom rear guards, fully worked engine (200hp or 125 Kw), Stage 3 = 5 point watts linkage rear end, 9", 5.0 V8, full leather interior with oak console and dash

This is my 1973 TC Cortina. Although the motor is not in the car yet, I can verify that she will absolutely hammer! A late model 302 Windsor is ready to drop in, with a mustang 5 speed attached. I found this local car on a farm, beneath about five foot of grass. I dragged it out and began stripping the engine bay and interior. It has one of the best bodies I have seen (only one very small dent on the left hand front guard, otherwise gun barrel straight) and the front guards had never been removed untill now! It has one small rust hole at the bottom corner of each front sill at the base of the firewall; typical of this model as there is no escape for water in the engine bay/firewall corners. It is a factory six cylinder manual GXL, which is the top of the range, later called the Ghia. Body is nearly ready to paint and then the roll cage, etc goes in. This will be set up for tarmac rally events by the time I have finished!

My TD Cortina is a bit of a weapon. She runs a 2502V with a holley carb and manifold, tuned length extractors, limited slip diff and a top loader gearbox. Although the subframe and panels are totally rusted, it makes a great burnout machine as it churns the rubber in all four gears! The motor has bearly been run in and runs a big cam, over-sized bore and worked head. Interior is nice original condition, minus the steering wheel and racing seats. It could do with a brake upgrade now that it has more power, but the suspension is nice and firm and handles like a go kart! Best of all, this is the most appealing body shape of all the cortina's with it's rounded body lines and wide rear arches. I would reccomend one of these to anyone - you cannot beat "bang for you buck" with classic lines and the smell of fuel and viny!
