1970 Ford Zephyr


Specifications


Description

 

In 1961, Ford began a complete redesign on the Zephyr, under the title of ‘Project Panda’.

In November 1966 the manufacturers announced a plan to introduce an "export special" version of the Zephyr Mk IV combining the 3-litre engine of the Zodiac with other specifications largely following those of the existing Zephyr.

This three-litre model was quickly adopted by Ford New Zealand, which had originally launched the Mk IV Zephyr assembled locally from CKD kits with the 2.5-litre V6 (no Zephyr 4 this time) and received complaints it was under powered for a country where towing boats and caravans was common. Ford New Zealand also introduced optional floor shift and bucket seats as an alternative to the standard column shift and bench front seat and a large number of Zephyrs were built in this form, with other modifications, for New Zealand's traffic police.

ABOUT THIS CAR

  • This is a nice old car , one family owned for 42 years - pretty much a one owner car most of its life.
  • Lovely retro colours and just a good , genuine old car.
  • 3 litre V6 so a lot more reliable than the smaller V6 engine that was always breaking down, it hasn’t got over the top miles .
  • Beautifully restored vehicle - a most popular NZ Classic - we all had one.
  • Very straight body with awesome paintwork
  • Original interior in great condition
  • Car runs and drives really well
  • This Zephyr is a mint old school cruiser. Amazing the number of people stopping and talking to me about it and you're guaranteed to get heaps of looks.
  • It runs mint with that classy Zephyr note.
  • A really nice piece of Kiwiana for your man shed.

These cars are rare and collectible and one in this condition is not something we come across too often. It is a very honest, original example that if you're into these, you shouldn't miss out on.

Car will be sold WOF’d and Registered.
