1970 Ford Cortina

The 1970 Ford Cortina is part of the Mark II series, produced from 1966 to 1970, and encapsulates the final evolution of this iconic model. It was available in several body types, including 2-door and 4-door sedans, as well as an estate variant. Engine configurations commonly included a 1.6 L (1598 cc) or a 1.6 L crossflow engine, alongside options for smaller 1.3 L and 1.5 L engines. The vehicle generally featured a 4-speed manual transmission and adhered to a rear-wheel drive (RWD) layout. Notable for its styling resembling the US Ford Falcon, the Mark II Cortina boasted improvements such as a smaller turning circle and a softer suspension for enhanced comfort. The performance-oriented GT variant stood out with unique styling cues. As the final model year for the Mark II, the 1970 Cortina paved the way for the forthcoming Mark III, which introduced a new design focus.
