I dig the round gauges. Too bad they are most likely in kph instead of mph...
Cortinas bring big bucks here - especial if it's a Lotus Cortina instead of a Ford one. My buddy has a couple of each. I like them as I like all, little 70's race type cars (Datsun 210, BMW 2002, Lotus/Ford Cortina, Alfa Romeo GTV, etc) but I like the body style of my Alfa much better. 2nd favorite goes to the Datsun 510's.

The early ones over here are worth a mint too, and on the track i have seen them keep camaros fairly honest! The last of the cortinas down under (1985?) Really had bad british car syndrome and were only any good for v8 conversions. What alfa you got chase?

Mine's a '72 GTV. Old pic as she's kind of under construction right now - but you get the idea.
My aunt has a '74 GTV that my uncle (crazy mechanic
) is just about done re-doing the whole thing. They dropped one of the 1750cc turbo motors out of a Milano in it. Same motor as in the earlier GTV's but with a factory turbo.
My unlce has a '65 GTV that he started to turbo and will never finish and then a cool Reneau R5 turbo he just put a Nissan motor in.
He's also the one that put the turbo supra motor and front and rear suspension in a '65 ranchero.
My buddy that works for my uncle is the one with a couple Datsun 510's and a few Cortinas.
Sorry about the side track but as I said I dig the 70's "race" cars...

The alfa is definitely the oddball in my litter (see sig for the current list), but I can appreciate most anything OLD. Not a huge fan of newer cars at all.
Couple cars on the current "would be cool to have" list are a 50's mini cooper, 65 Nova 2 door wagon, 49 "shoebox" Ford and then a 66-77 Bronco.
