I'm thinking about selling our Cortina.I found
another car I want,but something needs to go first.
I've rebuilt almost everything engine,transmission,
brakes,clutch,etc.).It still needs a couple of things.
It's a 1967 GT 2 door,high top dash,1500 engine.
This is a MKII,w/MKI mechanicals.It has the cool dash,
with the toggle switches.The best of the MKII's.
I've got a little over $6500 into it,but don't
know what it's worth to someone else.

Well,it doesn't look like anyone's interested.
Maybe I should have bought a more "popular" car.

- Doug Is this a hint as to the model of car you're interested in buying?

Fun decisions, though.
So a question: what British cars do you have now that are in running order? I'm a fan of one project at a time, myself.

Your advantage, Tony, is that you also have a few cars you can drive! I've only got space for just the one...

You know you want to...  Or a race car perhaps?  I'd love to but... I'm currently in the middle of upgrading my camera gear to a Nikon D90, which I do need rather badly... But I did almost purchase a 1969 Cortina sedan a few years back (for only $300), but at that time money was extremely tight for me and it just wasn't the right time, I have no regrets, and here's a photo in case you're all wondering...

The Cortina's on eBay now - started @ $200,now $2550!
And still a week to go.
I've got a couple of cars lined up if it sells for a
decent price.I'm still tempted to "buy on impulse".

Don,
Can I keep in in your garage?It's on eBay again,
I did this so I could keep all of my work on the auction
intact.
Too much going on,& I probably should pay off the
Visa bill.Someone buy this thing!
