Zephyr

jaym · 19-05-2005, 06:31 PM

when i moved in to my house half of my shed was blocked with a cheap *** wall, to my surprise the door to that side of the shed was unlocked.
there was a car under a car cover, so i pulled back the car cover to have a sneak peak, and to my surprise i found a Zephyr with custom interior, raceing seats, Windsor (not sure what size), B&M shifter, 9inch Diff..ect.
Its been seating there for like 10 years or somthing.
Im thinking of asking the owner if he wants to sell it.

What would somthing like this be worth??

parts for zephyrs are really hard to get.
not the most flashest looking car either but there is just something about them that screams attention! maybe its the fins? who knows.
anyway you can only ask i guess.
now you have to figure out how to ask for it without sounding like you were snooping somewhere you shouldnt have been.

An older english Ford around 50's/60's,the pommie cops used them in particular the Zodiac for pursuit cars.
Some came with a six others a four the interesting thing about the six is that the exhaust manifold went into one to the front of the car and then took a sharp u-turn down and out the back.
I used to own a mkiii.

i don't even no what model this one is, might have a look at comp plates
Is there anything i should look out for??
Im not a big fan on the shape but this car is pretty nice

Just did a search and found this one is a mkiii

For those who don't know what a Zephyr they look like this.

mattlea1 · 19-05-2005, 10:21 PM

Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3
Mk3's i prefer as they came standard with disc brakes etc if this one has a V8 in it then it must have had a fair bit of work done to it.

jaym · 19-05-2005, 10:27 PM

mate its had a lot of work, custom interior is looking a little said thanks to mice, windsor looks nice roller rockers is about all i can see.
Is there anyway of telling what size windsor it is??

i love the mk3. those fins really work for me. i never really warmed to the mk1 and 2, but i grew up in london in the 70's and there were a few of them around then, so i am probably a bit more used to them than others. i love the pic of teh black on you have loaded. really hard to tell what it is worth as they come up so rarely. as long as the body is good, it is worth a look.

there is one kicking about in WA with a v8 in it and i am pretty sure it runs 13's.

yeah mk3's are awesome!

There is one in geeling with a V8 and twin pipes out the back. It sounds awesome and I think a P plater owns it..lol

His kept in in top condition which is always nice to see.

Has anyone else notice the whole retro thing coming back? There are alot of P platers in Geelong atleats with old cars that have been retored pretty well. The they lower them which looks even better.
