1965 Ford Cortina GT Additional Info:

This little car sat languishing in a sprawling estate where race cars came to die. It had been a family favorite in an automotive minded family. Unfortunately kids grew up and out and the little GT sat forlornly as nature took over. The car sat in the company of a Lotus, an Elva and other race cars waiting patiently for the day that guys like us came and hauled it out, dusted it off, and gave it a new hope for the future. A hope that the little car could once again be out on the road challenging other drivers to test their skills.The car was subjected to a thorough mechanical rebuild in 1989. Something must've happened though because that is the last registration sticker. What was it that halted the GT? We have no idea but there is a handwritten document detailing what must've been a hot little engine at the time. This time around the resto will have to be quite a bit more in depth as all the mechanical bits will need to be touched before hitting the open road. This car has sat for nearly 4 decades waiting for you. Is this too big of a project? It's not for rookie wrenches or those without a larger vision. I'm sure if you have a great set of tools and a good bunch of pals, you can roll this beauty out by spring. All my best, DH. title hand yes, shipping, no problem- NO CARAMEL 3RD party escrow, thanks
