My father had one of these back in the day and sold it for an RX-4. Unfortunately he did not keep either. Beautiful car and I love the color.

I've been after one of these forever. Actually, looking at your profile I think I saw this one on craigslist a while back, I very hopefully offered my Chrysler as a trade, haha. http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/reader-rides/116/ By the way, I'm also 23, live in Raleigh, and a bike mechanic.

Nice! My first car (I don't count the '59 Chevy) was a '68 Cortina GT I bought in '71. Learned how to autocross in that car, and how to replace voltage regulators (sheds a tear).

Very cool car . There is one for sale with Escort flares on the prodracing website . I love the tail lamps . And these always look cooler bumperless .

weird gcassidy; My first car was a '68 Cortina GT bought in '72 that was autocrossed then stage rallyed to death; but not after 200K+ miles. I've grown to like the early car's style now; always liked the MkII better though - this example is a Great Car.
