1978 Ford Cortina Ghia review from Australia and New Zealand
"Hard to get a good one, but worth it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My gearbox was totally stuffed when I got it. Very hard to find good second hand box.
General comments?
This moves! with the standard 4.1L it can get to 170km/h just over 14 seconds. Drives harder than any car I've been in. Never lost a race!
