He's got rid of most of them now, he had some real beauties genuine Mk1 Lotus Cortina, GT500 Cortina, Twin Cams, RS2000's, Sierras, the list goes on, he also had a few Aussie Fords, XC Cobra, John Goss hardtop, XW GT. We used to race against each other in the Appedix J class at Wanneroo Raceway. We were also both active members of the British Ford Owners' Club in Perth. Had a great time organising rallies etc. He still competes in the Targa West every year in a much modified RS2000.

The British Ford owners club was by far the best club I have been involved with, fond memories. Just put two and two together and realised who owned that Chastain. That was a mighty collection he had. Still in close contact with the now owner of his GT500 Cortina, small world...

I think if your car is close to original than its only fair to try and keep it that way.



This little comment has been playing on my mind for a while now and I have decided that since the hot orange is so close to original it deserves to be with someone that appreciates originality more than I do so its up for sale.  Not sure how I feel about it but the misses is happy to see the number of projects decrease. 
 
Hope it ends up in a good home and stays on the road.

You should be well up on the brownie points at home passing that one on.
 
Good luck with the sale.

Thanks.  If it doesn't sell at least I can show the boss that I tried and have a clear conscience when I rip out that stupid foot pump and back burning vinyl seats

Anyone see any issues, am i correct in saying the bonnet isnt original since its missing the vent at the rear being a 1970 model.

Depends when it was made, pretty sure only the first 6 months or so of the 1970 has the 2 piece bonnet they also had 3000GT badge instead of 3000V6.

Mine is a 09/70 and has the two piece bonnet and 3000V6 badges!! I've had the car for 37 years and believe it's all original.
