1966 Ford Taunus 15M
I saw this car few days ago when I was driving home. It's a 1966 Ford Taunus 15M TS (the top model in 1966), 1.5L V4 65 hp. I believe this was Ford's full-size car back in the 1960s (that's right, full-size, compare this to the Galaxie 
), but I could be wrong.
From what I could see, it was painted maybe 15 or so years ago, but condition is pretty fair. Some rust, some interior damage, but nothing big. The car is complete, no missing parts.
The owner is asking 1,000 euros (~$1,500) for it which is way too much considering the fact that this is Serbia and classics don't hold the value that much.

Cool! Side profile has some 'Falcon' design cues. I don't know if I have ever seen a bi-color one before. It would make for a cool resto-mod with a Sierra-Cosworth drive train . . . .

Speaking of resto-mod Taunus, this is a 1975 Taunus Coupe 2.9L that belongs to a member of Ford Club Serbia. Still haven't seen it in person, but I hope I will before I leave for the USA in October.

Just temporary. My girlfriend is from Serbia and she's having trouble getting a visa to come to the USA, so until we get married someday (at which time she will become an American citizen since I'm also an American citizen) I guess I'm stuck here. It sucks.

15m was medium car size...17m to 26m (the number refers to cubic centimeters 1700 V4 to 2600 V6) were big limousine. But the fact they are just small and silly compared to american cars xD
For instance , european CAPRI vs american Mustang.. even if they did used the same engine (Australian Capri had a 5.0 V8 option) capri vas 1200 kg max
This is my kinda of a restomod (just dont have the money to do this xD)

And of course, if you had a 302 in a 1970-1972 Mustang, the typical response on cruise night was 'so, you got the small engine'. Ah, in some ways the good old days really were good. Still, a 302 powered Mk I Capri would be a blast.

Capri was a good 1,000+ lbs lighter than the Mustang ...
240 hp in a small car like this must be really fun to drive.
