Ford Repair: ford cortina 1968, ford cortina, answering your questions

Question
I'm looking at buying a 1968 ford cortina
but I need to know that I can repair parts
or at least replace them without a complete
conversion of the car.
Do you know much about the replacability of
parts in their whole?

Answer
Russell,

I do not know where you are hailing from but I can tell you that if you are hailing from the USA, there are not many of those cars in the states, as it is a UK car(one of the best selling from 1962 to 1982). As I am not really familiar with this car, I am refering you to the following website that I found: The Ford Cortina Home Page- http://www.martinbass.org.uk/ . It appears that the site is regularly updated with the last update occuring on the 14th of May of this year. There is a complete history on the car as well as links that I hope will prove to be helpful in answering your questions. There is also a link where you can email the guy that runs the website. He may prove to be more helpful to you. Sorry that I could not be of more help and I hope that this site is of benefit to you. Good luck.
