The costs can soon take off and go sky high.

 

I do Lambrettas and the cash involved is mental, any restoration can be the same. Early ford parts are starting to get expensive but to be honest Jim, I`d rather put the money into that car as into a pension fund.

 

 

Whats the story with the escort ?

it can't cost that much doing up hair driers................lol

 

 

Oh my god ! you have no idea ! utter fortunes mate. Into the tens of thousands for the very top stuff.

Wrong handles and the Escort had the strip of guttering above the doors

I dont think the car is 1967

 

It has oval side lights like mine did these were on the 1962 / 63 / 64................i may be wrong its been several years since i messed on with classic motors

 

67s are generally MK 2

Iv got a chance of buying this it's been in garage for year how much does it cost to restore something like this

cant really tell from your piccys, but looking at the quarter bumpers and the cheese grater air filter, I,m guessing it may be a gt model if so the value is much higher, and even higher again if it's a two door model, if it's a basic four door, it will be hard to restore to a decent level, without spending more than it's worth, if you have found a 2door gt it's worth a fortune as it stands

it's a 2 door pal ? Gt 1500

The only thing i can think is that someone changed the grill and park lights for older style

Possibly a field car? When cars were over produced they were stored in fields and sold at later dates. It is possible that is what happened to that car. But given fords reputation for swapping and changing parts on cars anything is possible.

The purist are going to hate me but Put a real engine in it and lowered on some nice alloys and just a clear lacquer over the existing paint and you would have a very distinctive and desirable motor for not to much lolly.

It would be a long time they started putting the new style grill and indicators on the MK1 in late 1964 the Airflow

 

The MK2 came out in late 1966

 

Only the log book will tell if its true identity
