History

Purchased the Corty in 1980 from Crossroads Carsales, Glendale
I had previously driven a mates 250 Cortina, and just wanted one
Changed the engine to a fully reconditioned 250 2V
Traded this car in on a Ford XF Falcon Sports Pak in 1985
Traded in at Fairfield Ford, Sydney (for the XF), but presume she would have gone to an auction (did not have 250 2V in it then)
250 2V engine was removed prior to trade-in and sold separately by me
Great car, wish I could find her again, thought I saw her in Sydney quite a few years ago
If anyone knows the whereabouts, would love to see photos
