Taunus GT S Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Hi All, I'm from Holland and I'm a Ford enthusiastic for more then 30 years. We were driving Ford at home from my tenth year. I owned several old skool Fords, suchs as Taunus, Granada and OSI. On this moment I'm restoring my very rare Argentine Ford Taunus 2.3 GT Mk3 coupé. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Welcome to OSF Rare indeed, the front end is what we'd call a mk5 Cortina over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Welcome to osf, very unusual car. Can't say I've seen one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taunus GT S Posted December 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 This type of Taunus (Cortina mk5) is only build in Argentina for the internal market. They don't have the Taunus Mk2 (Cortina Mk4), but only the Taunus Mk1 and Mk3. They don't have either the Capri. The Taunus Mk1 coupé was very popular in Argentina. So they build there own Taunus Mk3 coupé on basis of the Taunus Mk1 coupé/Cortina Mk3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pack 2000 Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Looks already restored to me or simply in great original condition. I do love some of the beyond Europe variations of traditional OldSkoolFords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John escort mk1V6 Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Hi Taunus GT S welcome. You have nice cars , the coupe is rare i have catalogus from 1984 with one in it when it was new. There a few build in The Netherlands some with the big rear lights some with the old Original rear light , but i never have seen one with the correct rear ligts like yours.

Taunus GT S Posted December 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Thanks. Only the Taunus GT is still alive of above picture. The other 2 Taunus are scrapped, but it's nice to see the differences between the 3 Taunus models. I think that I have the same catalogus, with the same picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
