    Amazingly straight, original blue-plate CA car, no rust, all original. I may ditch the big rubber bumpers and smog gear, but otherwise stock.

    Brought it home today.

    Nice original looking example. I agree on getting the too big bumpers off.

    Nice find Arne!! I bought one new in 1971. Had the 4 cylinder 1600 CC Cortina engine in mine. V6 came later. Loved that car.

    The Cortina 1600 was a lot simpler under the hood than the CA-emissions V6 with A/C in mine. Making plans to seriously simplify things here.

    I grew up in NZ with Escorts, Cortina's and Capris. If you had one of these you were very cool !

    Give me a minute to buy some stock in the rubber hose industry. Fun winter project.
