At the auction. Never seen on of these before. Looks to be in excellent shape. It's a 1972 Ford Cortina Wagon.

Super rare! Not too many MkIII Cortinas sold in Canada. Even less wagons!

Hemi, pfft!  ::) Needs a Coyote!
How much did you get it for?  ;D
Fine...what'd it sell for?  I'd like that, it's cool.

Up for auction tomorrow. I’m tempted. Says it has a fuel delivery issue. Engine looks like a Pinto 4cyl. It’s a donated car so I imagine part of a estate.

Hell, swap a FOX 5.0 in there with a 5 spd and fuel delivery issue be damned and solved.  Some nice wheels...

I bet it sat and now the gas tank, filter or carb needs cleaned out. Might be an easy flip.  >:D

Kind of a niche interest though. The British Saloon folks would love it.

Love the looks of the M6 Grand Coupe.  One of the best looking sedans of the recent past and should age well imo.  Much better looking than the S7 and the droopy looking CLS.  This one is a rare 6-speed manual as well.  Not sure if the 4.4 V8 is a grenade though.

Grand Coupe would look better if it was an actual coupe....

Nah, i prefer it as a sedan.  I agree the naming is dumb but that's what happens when the marketing knobs have their say.   ::)

I like the Cortina! If a cleanup doesn’t settle things, the later twin spark 2.3’s from fox bodies and Rangers will probably drop in. Or 2.3 EcoBoost crate  ;D
