Good example of an early (ish) 164 in US.

Agree assuming pics don't hide any gremlins. I hope my late fathers maroon '72 car looks that good when done.
Trouble is - so few people our side of the water appreciate these cars. By looking at the dreaded ebay it seems so many people are prepared to spend ridiculous sums on money on rubbish Escorts etc even in barn-find condition. They were takky cars even when new, they were so basic. We threw ours away before its 10th birthday as the rust was taking over.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing....
