Details

This 1972 Ford Corcel GT was crafted in the heart of Brazil. It was restored by the skilled artisans at A&J Revival and is powered by an original factory 1400cc inline 4-cylinder engine boasting 85hp, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine breathes through a custom period air filter, while a new carburetor, distributor, ignition coil, spark plugs and cables guarantee peak performance. The restoration journey extends beyond the powertrain, with the suspension, steering and braking systems rebuilt using authentic original Ford parts. The electrical system underwent a comprehensive transformation, embracing a 12-watt system featuring a new alternator, voltage regulator and battery. This vehicle is rolling on 13-inch sport chrome light-alloy wheels of the era, wrapped in new tires. The frame and bodywork underwent a thorough rotisserie restoration, culminating in a resplendent two-tone paint job in the iconic shades of red and black. The exterior enhancements extend to the metallic trim, black vinyl covering on the original hardtop and distinctive elements like the sports steering wheel with a vintage wood finish, original side mirrors, GT front grilles and original fog lights with yellow lenses. The new custom interior features black door panels and a headliner, and the original seats, restored with new foam and springs, are now adorned in black ecological vinyl leather. Offering seating for five passengers, the interior maintains its authenticity with the original AM radio and a retro vintage-style JOYO equalizer.
