As far as I know...The radio boxes. But I'm not an expert at that point. Would like to have one of those cars too by the way... icon_smile_wink.gif

I love Sand Scorchers, but I don't have one... Please help this poor collector...icon_smile.gifid=size1>

The radio box is different where the wires exit. the battery tray and the wheels are also different. The Mountaineer is far better chassis than the bruiser chassis. I have no credible evidence to back that assertion up. I have a Mounty and I just wanted to say it.

the trusty old Cortina... ah that takes me back..

And Theo you are so right about the Opel vs Vauxhall.. I had a 1978 Ascona, and at the time it was 15 years old and looked about 5 years old, whereas Cavaliers of a similar vintage had holes in the wings, and generally looked like they'd seen better days.

Hehe, the 'Coke Bottle' Cortina. I remember it. That 70's Taunus is a coupe though. I've never seen one before, maybe we didn't get Cortina Coupes over here.

The waisted Cortina is a "TC" model... then there's the big square "TE" one that came after (as seen in James Bond).

Driven both before, handling on neither is not impressive. (Its a wonder that its predecessor could have been the 4cyl Lotus Cortina.)

Your statement about its handling was rather moderate icon_smile_wink.gif LOL

Heh heh heh... but I have driven worse.

One that springs to mind is the Holden Torana Sunbird (Oz local, by GM). On this one, Holden advertises it as having "suspension tuning"... just by ADDING RADIAL TYRES??!? icon_smile_shock.gif

The famous "RTS" (Radial Tuned Suspension) handling option, oh boy.
