1969ish Ford Cortina GT Mk2

 

Nope, think South America exclusively. And I'll give another hint since I don't want to drag this on and tick off the home team here.........the car company Ford bought the plant were this car was built from, and the basic structure of the car itself, is Renault.

 

Another good guess, but still not it. Name of this model does begin with a C though....

 

Ford Corcel?

 

Dang. I knew it had to be a Renault of some kind, given their affection for 3 lug wheels.

 

Nailed it sir, the car is indeed a first gen Ford Corcel GT produced in a plant previously owned by Renault. The Corcel was effectively a Ford-i-fied Renault 12, although the car benefited greatly from the transformation particularly in terms of styling. Interesting tidbit, the Renault roots meant that this was one of Ford's first fwd cars.

Another odd tidbit, for some reason I really want one.

Your up.

 

 

I'll bite. Mazda 626, 83-87 vintage.

Edit: Ford Telstar.

 

Good call!

 

Man that was fast. I thought this is gonna be harder.

 

Ok. Here you go. There are probably a number of versions out there, so to start, you'll need to nail this one to get it right.

 

Looks like Ford Sierra with a weird front end.

 

Uh huh. Keep digging...

I'll be offline for dinner, back in about an hour or so.

 

Looks like a Sierra XR6 (or XR8) for South Africa.

I don't know if they went by any other name(s).

 

1984 Ford Sierra XR8?


Oooh, Zoran beats me by a minute....a minute!

 

XR8 it looks ?

 

Yeah, I knew what it was as soon as PT Rocks posted it, but I couldn't think of what South Africa actually tagged to the end of their little, 5.0L powered Sierra sedan. By the time I made the XR8 connection Zoran had already beaten me.

 

Bingo! XR8. You're up.

 

 

Mercury Cougar sedan...circa 1981-1982
