Way back in 1992 I brought a 1500 mk2 Pre xflow with manual column change was a elderly gentleman who brought it from new in 67 it had bench seats as far as I know only about 5 were still around in them days an extremely rare car then I wonder how many are left now? I wish I still had it now❤
To the people who insist that the taillights are not Mk2 Cortina units, perhaps they're not in your part of the world. There's a possibility that the Canadian delivered Mk2's used their own unique taillight. The U.S delivered Mk1 Cortina's had their upside down "Peace" symbol taillights changed from a combination Amber-Red lens to an all Red lens, maybe Canada had their own rules / regulations with respect to taillight specifications. I have never seen any other Canadian Mk2 Cortina's so I cannot confirm, but as Rodney's Rods has stated in other reply's they fit perfectly like they're meant to be there.
I've had 3 of those Tina's they are very British they made the 3ltr savage and I think an Australian v8 not sure I know they had the capri mk1 parana there ,nice cars thanks for sharing oh they also had the lotus version incase you didn't know haha
@@Rodneys_Rodsim in the UK, and own 5 various cortinas, and can tell you 100% they are not cortina rear lights, google mk2 cortina and have a look at pictures, you will see the lights on yours are very wrong
I had a 67 1300 cortina 2 door (2 doors were less common than 4 doors,), mine had the pre-crossflow engine, if you're looking for parts try these people th-cam.com/video/uxFHfq3qPgM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=D-Z-GtJOmQ689bRP although a 4 door it's got the rostyle wheels and tail lights and probably lots of other little bits you could use, i'd go with the pinto engine (you could go to 3 litre v6 essex and have a savage cortina and have everything bolt to together) as the 289 would make it very front end heavy whereas the pinto can be made to go good (still plenty of stuff available) and the handling can be good.
The pre xflow 1300 and 1500 MK2 sure did have manual column change in the UK I use to have a 1500 Super in cherry black got mine in 1992 with all the paperwork Inc original bill of sale from 67
Before You even Mess with It you Need to Push it Outside and Pressure wash it Good, Not Healthy, with all the Mold, Beside it would give you Incentive.
As far as I know mold grows in dim moist conditions( usually indoors). This car was found covered in this black moss like substance after years of sitting outside. Definitely worth cleaning but I would be shocked if it was mold.
I really don’t know if it is Moss or Mould, but as I think about it there is not much moisture around here on the prairies so much more likely it is a moss.

A very nice project for you or someone else, watching this in Wales UK 🏴.
@@adamweston4152 thanks for sharing your comment. I’ve been to Wales, loved it!
The fender badge was a small ford oval badge (70’s style)

My second car , in Oz. Swapped out the motor in half a day with 1500 mk1 . Went great. Chassis rail rusted tho. Got welded up.
Great memories, these old cars provide!

No V8 mk2 cortina, and the Perana was South Africa.
I didn't say v8 cortina I said 3ltr and it was a v6 Essex motor
And the parana capri was made for Australia and Africa
I had a Cortina 1600 GT as my first car, awesome little machine. Couple of photos here: th-cam.com/video/sn4UtFywxrc/w-d-xo.html
That moss will give some good downforce
Well it’s not slippery in a wind tunnel , that’s for sure!
The rear lights are not cortina Mk2, they are off something else,
@@MrRetro- thing is they fit perfectly, so???
@@Rodneys_Rodsbut they are not mk2 cortina rear lights 100% not. Great car though love it shout out uk 🇬🇧
@@Rodneys_Rodsim in the UK, and own 5 various cortinas, and can tell you 100% they are not cortina rear lights, google mk2 cortina and have a look at pictures, you will see the lights on yours are very wrong
@@MrRetro- I believe you, but they fit??? What else could they be from???
Legendar rally cross car model 😎👍 another country this model popular
Yes, there is a huge following for these things in England and anywhere rallying is popular. Wonder if they have a v8 class?
i do not recognize the taillights i,m in australia had a couple of 1600,s never seen those units i wonder what they from?
@@alwood9148 That’s what everyone is saying, but they fit?
Never seen a rear light like that on a MK2
Or steering wheel like that
@@user-xf2dn2oi2d Well I don’t know for sure, but it fits perfectly, so???

@@stevehill4615 Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated. See the part 3 video, I will pass along to Tyler our friend who LOVES this car!
Yessss it's a ford, did you ever see one before it's a
CORRRTINAAA.
Word of advice please screenplay before or end up looking like NODDY.
I had a 1967 1300 4 door
Nice, any parts left in your possession?
@@Rodneys_Rods Unfortunatly not . I sold the car in Durban in the 1970's
The UK cars did not have column change. That must be a US only spec.
@@BernardSamson-hf6fc interesting! Each territory did it there own way then.
Early uk mk2 cortina’s did have a column change available.
The pre xflow 1300 and 1500 MK2 sure did have manual column change in the UK I use to have a 1500 Super in cherry black got mine in 1992 with all the paperwork Inc original bill of sale from 67
Australian Mk2 Cortina's were column shift for the Automatics much like this one.

DONT TOUCH OR INHALE BLACK MOULD IT WILL MAKE YOU EXTREMELY ILL....BAD BACTERIA...GET THAT CAR STEAM CLEANED !!!

Not rare, there are still tens of thousands around.
Just scrap it.
In England yes! Canada no. Do you know what the badge on the side would have been?
@@Rodneys_Rods Not that common over here, UK . Nice project though.😊
