That's a great looking example. Price seems good.

It's a GL, so only a 1.3 crossflow engine, but it would still be neat to have.

I wonder if the Ford 1.3L crossflow head engine has anything in common with Mazda's 1.3L TC engine from the '78-'80 GLC? The Ford had a weird head design but the displacement (1298) was the same. The water inlet on the top is in a different location.

It's a version of the old Kent engine, so I'd be surprised if the Mazda was related. A 71-73 1600 Pinto is very similar though.

First time my wife has asked if we should buy a classic.

I want to buy it, build/decorate it as a rally tribute, and just drive to work back and forth.  At least 4 Hellas on the front.
