Old Goodyear G800 s

I had a 1969 Cortina GT , it had the Radials as standard, stiffer suspension and was the Grecian Gold with Maat Black bonnet and black stripe, I loved it, wish I had not traded it on a 2 door VG Pacer . And I didn't roll it , maybe because the way it did handle,

Would be worth a mint today if you still had it. I'd guess it had the "SuperRoo" on the side too. And the twin barrel carb :-))

Mine rolled when it got hit behind the rear wheel by a VW Beetle being driven by a drunk young lady - scooped up that light rear end and over it went. After that I bought a 1970 Corolla station wagon, and took that vehicle over 50,000 miles of tracks in the outback. That was a good car too! And then I had a '69 LandRover. Wish I still had the lot too.

Phil
No the GT Cortina didn't have the SuperRoo, that was the Falcon GT

Yep, getting my stripes mixed up - thanks Doug. I just had a vague recollection of Ford using the superoo logo on their other GTs, but must have been my boyhood imagination - 37 years ago!

Ah meant to say I got 50,000 miles on the originals not the later rebadged version. baz

80 Mph too eh, like I always say, when we were doing 80mph your concentation was full on, and the eyes were on the road, that's why we didn't run off the road like they do today at the much slower speeds, how do you get idiot politicians to see that though
Haaa Haaaa yeh

Only too true Doug,,, you know why ,, because we were responsible for our actions and everyone knew it and accepted it,,, no questions asked.

Anyway off the soap box,,, but remember the roads such as the Sturt Highway across the Hay plains narrow gutted road with wooden bridges,,,about 1 foot between semi goin the other way and you, and left hand tyre 6 inches from the edge of the road it was always a test of skill,,and we did it all with no aircon, no CD, no DVD, no UHF, recirculating ball steering, drum brakes (well prior to HD/HR anyway), 1/4 vent full flow ventilation, large back seat for enntertianment,,,,,,, ah I'm on the soapbox again.

Cheers Baz
