Description
This is not your standard Ford Zodiac it has been tastefully modified, it’s a real head turner,. It’s a pleasure to drive, Cruising is great but also has a great deal of power if needed (dyno’ed at just short of 200bhp ). The paintwork is great and always gets comments on the colour scheme which is not original, but improves the look . The bigger and wider wheels and white walls improve the look too. The suspension has all new bushes and leaf springs from a mustang which give a soft ride but extra pieces or assisters can be added for a firm ride if required. Under the bonnet there is a 1976 V8 Ford Windsor engine with pertronix flame thrower 2 electronic ignition. The engine was taken out in 2018 when the engine bay was de-cluttered and sprayed. All of the wiring is hidden to give that great clean look. The engine cooling is customised with a custom built radiator and uses Evans waterless coolant. The gearbox is a Ford c4 3 speed automatic with column change. The gearbox was rebuilt when the engine was out. This is linked to a complete refurbed standard rear axle, with updated seals.( care of Kevin Dipchan of zodiac motor services. com). The rear brakes are the standard drums which have always been sufficient as they are pretty large. The front brakes are race spec 4 pot callipers and vented discs, custom built by Hispec Motorsport Ltd . It also has an electric handbrake rather than the original. The original lever is still in place for that authentic look, but operates via a switch. The interior looks a treat with new carpets, the leather seats are in good condition. The dash top is about 18 months old and was imported from New Zealand and is of good quality. The steering wheel is non-standard but looks great.
