To the people who question the tail lights, I checked them and they do not say AMC, or Hornet, or have a year on them, nor do they say Ford, or Cortina. What they do say is “Canada”. That suggests it is a variant for the Canadian market. Not conclusive, but a possibility. I know the Hornet did not differentiate taillights for Canada.

How has that thing survived in a field in canada?

Wow! The ol' MkII 2-door! Don't see many of them about any more. Back in the day, a lot of them that were poverty spec were turned into Lotus Cortina replicas, although most didn't get the twin cam Lotus engine for obvious reasons. Same options down here in New Zealand on the late 68 through 70 models - the poverty spec 1300 crossflow or the 1600 crossflow (aka 711M or 'Kent' engine). The earlier MkII (67-early 68) had the 1200cc and 1500cc non-crossflow engine that was carried over from the MkI. The 1600 was the best of the bunch for power power and modification ability, with the pre-crossflow 1500 being the block that was used for the twin cam Lotus head. Great little cars in and of their time, they still perform well now and trying to find one that has not been repowered with a 2-litre Pinto or heavily modded 1600 is a hard call. Funny you mentioned the 289 - my Dad traded his '67 MkII GT for a '67 MkII Cortina that had a 289 out of a Mustang GT, the 4-speed gearbox out of a MkIV Ford Zodiac and a shortened Mustang diff. It backfired through the carb one night and the engine bay caught fire, destroying a lot of the wiring and melting the carb itself. Dad decided that what the engine needed was a bit more breathability, so sat down with it to plan the rebuild, which included balancing and blueprinting from one end to the other. I don't know what the internals were or the final cubic inches or horsepower, but I do know that it sounded awesome, was bloody quick and she red lined at 7200rpm, so he must have had some serious internals and a wicked cam. I also know that the speedometer needle would easily wind around to where it would point straight down through the middle of the high beam warning light on the dial - about 140mph - and still wanted to keep going. He was doing that one day along an undulating road a few miles from our home and on one crest we suddenly found ourselves airborne. After she landed and Mum gave him an earful, Dad backed it off to a relatively sedate 90mph which, considering the open road speed limit at the time was 50mph / 80km/h, was a good start! This vehicle (we called it "The Beast") was a 4-door, she was white with an orange vinyl roof (it was the 70s after all), orange pinstripes on the body line on each side and orange paint in two rectangles on the bonnet and boot lid in the style of the Mustang GT livery. After the fire, the orange on the bonnet and boot was painted satin black. It was a great car and gave Dad much joy every time he drove it....although after imitating the Wright Brothers, he never drove that quick again with Mum or us kids in the car. I'll look forward to seeing how this progresses, guys! All the best.

Great fine! That has loads of potential, can even take a small block Ford v8

I know what I'd put in it, got it in my shop. Something that would keep weight dist. more reasonable and capable of more bhp than it should have. No I won't tell you, you wouldn't approve, about which I couldn't care less.

Good on you to have the vision to film and document the build while your working on it.

i do not recognize the taillights i,m in australia had a couple of 1600,s never seen those units i wonder what they from?

Outstanding Build!

saw it on Kijiji last year & missed it, I bought a MK2, 2 door from Ontario. Be interesting to see how the resto goes. If you need help with parts, let me know.

To the people who insist that the taillights are not Mk2 Cortina units, perhaps they're not in your part of the world. There's a possibility that the Canadian delivered Mk2's used their own unique taillight. The U.S delivered Mk1 Cortina's had their upside down "Peace" symbol taillights changed from a combination Amber-Red lens to an all Red lens, maybe Canada had their own rules / regulations with respect to taillight specifications. I have never seen any other Canadian Mk2 Cortina's so I cannot confirm, but as Rodney's Rods has stated in other reply's they fit perfectly like they're meant to be there.

Yessss it's a ford, did you ever see one before it's a CORRRTINAAA. Word of advice please screenplay before or end up looking like NODDY.

Way back in 1992 I brought a 1500 mk2 Pre xflow with manual column change was a elderly gentleman who brought it from new in 67 it had bench seats as far as I know only about 5 were still around in them days an extremely rare car then I wonder how many are left now? I wish I still had it now❤

Never seen a rear light like that on a MK2 Or steering wheel like that

WW2 and then the American's buy the beetle I'm in the UK and mostly buy British Don't like beetle's

I had a 67 1300 cortina 2 door (2 doors were less common than 4 doors,), mine had the pre-crossflow engine, if you're looking for parts try these people czcams.com/video/uxFHfq3qPgM/video.htmlsi=D-Z-GtJOmQ689bRP although a 4 door it's got the rostyle wheels and tail lights and probably lots of other little bits you could use, i'd go with the pinto engine (you could go to 3 litre v6 essex and have a savage cortina and have everything bolt to together) as the 289 would make it very front end heavy whereas the pinto can be made to go good (still plenty of stuff available) and the handling can be good.

A very nice project for you or someone else, watching this in Wales UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

The UK cars did not have column change. That must be a US only spec.

I had a Cortina 1600 GT as my first car, awesome little machine. Couple of photos here: czcams.com/video/sn4UtFywxrc/video.html

The fender badge was a small ford oval badge (70’s style)

I've had 3 of those Tina's they are very British they made the 3ltr savage and I think an Australian v8 not sure I know they had the capri mk1 parana there ,nice cars thanks for sharing oh they also had the lotus version incase you didn't know haha

Had a 68 2dr back in 1994 fitted with 351 cleveland c4 and 9'' diff. engine bay length and trans tunnel size were the issue. recessed the fire wall 6inches and fabricated new trans tunnel and it fitted. Was bit of a handfull

The rear lights are not cortina Mk2, they are off something else,

DONT TOUCH OR INHALE BLACK MOULD IT WILL MAKE YOU EXTREMELY ILL....BAD BACTERIA...GET THAT CAR STEAM CLEANED !!!

My second car , in Oz. Swapped out the motor in half a day with 1500 mk1 . Went great. Chassis rail rusted tho. Got welded up.

Put the rad inside the front panel right behind the grill, there is about 4-5 inches dead air space there.

Legendar rally cross car model 😎👍 another country this model popular

Before You even Mess with It you Need to Push it Outside and Pressure wash it Good, Not Healthy, with all the Mold, Beside it would give you Incentive.

I had a 1967 1300 4 door

Not rare, there are still tens of thousands around. Just scrap it.

That moss will give some good downforce

Good B-Roll in this

That's cool. I had a 1970 Cortina when I was 16 and almost bought a minty GT out in Ontario a few years ago. I had no space for it, but still regret not buying it.

Good video
