Re: Ford Cortina 4x4 Muscle (currently on Gumtree)
Would be nice if one could gather some more info on these bakkies.
For instance, whether all were "conversions" of normal completely built-up 4x2 bakkies, or were some assembled as 4x4 vehicles from shells Ford provided?
And were all Ford Muscle vehicles built by the company "Fun Conversions (PTY) LTD"?
I know they were available through Ford dealerships, so I assume those were new bakkies.
From the angle the photo was taken it is difficult to say for sure, but the orange bakkie, seems to be a mk4 Cortina, the mk5 debuted around Aug 1980, thus if the conversion was done in 1983, it would have been an aftermarket conversion.
Another question is, which gearboxes, transfer cases, differentials were used?
Some sources state Land Rover axles, some Jeep Gladiator axles, some Borg-Warner axles.
Would be nice to get some detailed photos of the gearbox, transfer case, and axles if some member can post it sometime, as well as the data plate info of such an bakkie.

Re: Ford Cortina 4x4 Muscle (currently on Gumtree)
Only took this pic of the bakkie. When I visit the guy again I will take more pics. At this stage there is no engine or gearbox in the bakkie.
Took a wild quess regarding 1983. With a serial number of 830092 it would look like no 92 from '83.
Was interesting to see a tag different than just the Ford tag.

CX = Ford of Britain / Neave Plant (PE)
BP = Cortina Pick Up
TD = 1977 / Dec
13615 = Serial number
401333 = Sido number
M = 3000cc 2V 101,5kw V6 (138DIN)
N = 4 Speed Manual Floor Shift
0G = SWB? / Tan (Interior)
0J = Monotone / Wild Tangerine (Exterior paint)
