Anyone Interested in a Cortina?

[AngliaGT]

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.

So, what've you found?

 

[AngliaGT]

I won't say until the Cortina's sold.

- Doug

 

[tony barnhill]

Don't blame you - don't want to curse the deal!

 

[AngliaGT]

OK.....let's just say it's between 2 collector cars-
a Yugo Turbo convertible,& a Renault Alliance convertible.

[tony barnhill]

Yugo Turbo convertible.....do you know how rare that thing is?

I'm waiting...

Yeah, but for what you're waiting, you'll need lots of prayers!

 

[AngliaGT]

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

[DrEntropy]

Interested, yes. Able, no.

 

[Bayless]

Same here Doug.

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?

 

[AngliaGT]

No,it's not.If I don't sell the Cortina,nothing will
happen.I'm also considering other options.Hey,we're down
to NINE cars now!

- Doug

 

[eschneider]

Hey,we're down to NINE cars now!

kinda makes you an entry-level "greenhorn" in this bunch, Doug!!! <grin>

And I'm certain you can't really be talking about buying "a" Yugo. They don't come in singles anymore, do they?

<grin>

 

[DrEntropy]

Six-packs.

 

[AngliaGT]

The Cortina's still for sale.I'm still torn on my options -
should I buy another car,or get the '60 Anglia going for next year?
It'll be 50 years old in April.
Desicions..........Decisions.

- Doug

 

[drooartz]

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.

 

[tony barnhill]

Oh, I love having multiple projects going on at the same time.....while I'm waiting on parts or evaluating things on one projecr, I can switch over to another.....right now, I'm trying to fab an electric in-tank fuel pump for my Corvette so while I'm thinking through my course of action, I'll finish installing the radiator in my '63 Midget.

 

[drooartz]

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