This 1965 Ford Cortina GT has been extensively transformed into a high-performance, driver-focused classic that blends vintage British styling with modern American muscle. Purchased by the current owner in 2013, the car underwent a comprehensive, year-long build in Atlanta, Georgia with a focus on performance, handling, and reliability. Power comes from a fuel-injected 347ci V8 paired with a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, delivering serious performance in a lightweight, classic chassis.

The suspension and chassis have been fully upgraded with a Mustang II–style front setup and a Heidts independent rear suspension with adjustable coilovers, giving the car modern handling and road manners. Inside, the Cortina features a purposeful, race-inspired cockpit with a roll cage, bucket seats, and classic instrumentation. Finished in white with red stripes and riding on period-style wheels, this Cortina GT is a unique, high-performance restomod that offers classic looks with modern performance capability.
