Summary

[edit]
Description

Reef Green. The UK designed Cortina was built from 1962-82. The boxier shape Mark II Cortina replaced the Mark I in Oct 66 in the UK, but not until Aug 67 in Australia. Initially 1200 and 1500cc engines were initially carried over from the Mk I Cortina. In Jan 1968, replaced with 1300 and 1600cc engines with a cross flow head. A mild facelift in Jan 69 saw separate F O R D letters on bonnet and boot, a black grille and chrome above and below the tail lights. Auxiliary gauges on the GT dropped from a central pod on top of the dash to a central position within the dash. Mk II Cortinas were also built in Australia, models available there; 2 door; 220 (1300), 240 and 240L(1600). 4 door; 440, 440L, GT and GTL. The 240 and 440 got chrome strips on the rear flanks, but not on the L, L stood for luxury, it got chrome sill moulds, side stripes, upgraded seats and woodgrain trim.

The early Mk II GT followed the subtle styling of the English GT, but when the Australian Falcon XW GT was released in 1969, with bold stripes and blacked out bonnet, the Cortina GT followed suit. It also got matt black hood and boot panel, and side stripes. Also bumperettes, driving lights, bonnet lock pins, GT engine and suspension, full instrumentation
