1974 Ford Cortina 250 X-flow review from Australia and New Zealand
"A petrol drinker, but worth it for the power, a beautiful drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator leaks a little.
The seats were never that comfortable, but not that bad where you can't stand them.
The starter motor busted.
Some wires were fried trying to put a new tape deck in.
General comments?
With the new motor, nothing can touch me.
I put Escort mags on her, so the car is lower to the ground, so it sticks to the road like there is no tomorrow.
It smashes my mates worked Torana.
She has a twin throat carby. Twin Webbers. They make her howl.
