I should sell one of my Fords (decided and sold )

[Tuomas]

I have to sell one of my cars, but cant decide which one.

What do you think?

 

MK1 Escort -74 1600 crossflow My newest project, very solid shell in the right places.

Original front wings and front panel. Exelent strut tops..

 

MK1 Escort -73 1600 crossflow My first car had it about 14 years.

Now in project state (been like this for the past 3 years):

 

MK1 Cortina -65 1600 crossflow Had this about 1,5 years now.

very solid shell.

 

MK2 Capri -75 2,0 OHC Bought this last year, bought new wheels and added some exhaust and some smaller things..

 

Mk1 Escor Van -72 1300 crossflow Bought this one 7 years ago as a rotten project, done all welding and painting to it myself, but never have registrated it on the road.

 

My firs car have big sentimental value, and selling projects dont bring much money..

I dont have place for all of these and thats the main thing to sel one or two.

 

Its REALY hard to let go any of these, but i cant just keep buying more and never selling one..

I have thinked this very hard and i cant decide

If i had big garage to storage these i could keep them all, but if i never had time to work/drive them all whats the point of keepping them all?

 

I NEVER drive any of these on winters, or rainy days.

I drive these just on sunny summer days..

I have the non Ford daily driver for everyday use.

 

Im thinking maybe the Van or the Cortina..?

For the past 13 years i had only MK1 Escorts, and i have sold those not so good ones along the way.

Now i have many good ones, and some other models than just Escorts..

 

Any thoughts?

 

Does they have some therapy groups for this kind of "have to buy all old fords" people?

[Mrs O/H/C]

Thats a tough one !!!

 

I think its nice that you have a selection of Fords, so if thats the way you want to keep it then sell one of the Escorts

 

They are all stunning cars

 

Oh...no therapy room available on here

[Yeomans22]

you have 2 of the same car (mk1 escort 2 door) so i would say sell one of them then u have a selection of different ones

[turnover]

sell me the cortina

[SebringRS]

Deffo keep the Van, Capri and Cortina

 

 

Unless i can have the van

[fullbrek]

Get a garage that will fit them all. One of the mk1 2 doors would be my last resort decission.

[oliwally]

Sell me the red Escort or the van!!!!

I'll give them a good home

[Tuomas]

Or i sell them all and buy that 69 Charger thats been hounting in my mind for years..

[escysean]

Have always want to buy LHD mk1 Escort van...........sell it to me so that my left-hooker 4-door Escort look nice next to that uber-cool van you got!

[ratman]

Get rid in this order

 

1.Mk1 Escort

 

2.MK1 Escort

 

3. MK1 Escort Van

 

4.Mk2 Capri

 

Then when your dead and gone and only then and by then you dont care the MK1 Cortina

 

MK1 Cortina REAL old skool

[Andrade]

you have two escort two doors in project state. one of them has more sentimental value than the other, and you have started work on it already so is closer to hitting the road. I'd say the red escort would be the less drastic loss. I don't think the other cars are worth parting from, unless your decision to sell is a money one.

[4DOOR-SHERWOOD]

keep all the escorts and sell the cortina or capri!

[tazrocks88]

sell the red escort! keep the rest they obviously mean 2 much 2 sell!

[Tuomas]

Thanks for the coments.

Seems like the Escort van have many fans.

All of them gets the keep votes, which dont make this any easyer

 

I decided to give myself this summer time to think what to do whit these.

Money is not the main thing here, its the space to keep them and time to take care of them all..

[Tuomas]

Lets update this tread..

Situation is that MK1 Cortina is sold and gone today..

 

This would have dropped the number of cars by one, but...

I have to confess that i have bought this last summer:

 

 

Its ugly i know, but it was cheap

So one of the nicest cars have gone and this "small" project have arrived.

[SebringRS]

Or i sell them all and buy that 69 Charger thats been hounting in my mind for years..

 

Sorry, but thats a man after my own heart..........

 

 

 

Sell them all to buy that charger

[PIG]

flog the capri lol

[Grizzley Dell]

sell the red mk1 eckie and the mk2 cappa. that van is lovely

 

have to admit ive got 2 osf's but if another came up i'd be very tempted.

Sorry, but it was maybe too oldskool for me.

I did try to offer it to England at resonably price, but no one was seriously intrested to get it from here.

I love MK1 Escorts, and Capris have that sport car look that i like.

 

No more selling at the moment.

Was a stunning car though, hope it went to a good owner

I think it did.

 

 

Now i can try to do something to these. One of them got the Cortinas place in the garage:

Had to do some digging to get them moving.

Hi, just dropped in to say I am the new owner of Tuomas´s Cortina. I´ll try to keep it in good nick. I have also had all sorts of classic fords, few mk1 escort sports, few mk2 escort sports, mk2 Capri 3,0 and now finally a mk1 Cortina.
