1964 ford zephyr mk ii 3 sp manual 4d sedan

The Zephyr Mark III shared some of its mechanical components, as well as the basic chassis design, with the Mark II, but had a stronger overall body construction. The exterior was designed by Canadian Roy Brown, who had also designed the Edsel and the Cortina. Unlike the Zephyr 4, the Zephyr 6 had a full-width grille including the headlight surrounds; overall body length and width were the same for both Zephyr III versions. With the same 2,553 cc displacement as before, the Mark III model had higher compression ratio, resulting in some 20 hp higher output, as well as a broader torque range. Ford New Zealand initially built the Zephyr 4 and 6, as well as the Zodiac, locally from CKD kits, offering only the bench front seat option finished in vinyl. Automatic transmission, introduced late in the life of the Mk II, were again available, but were a rare factory option, as most buyers chose manual. ABOUT THIS CAR This car is in very nice condition throughout. Nicely restored to a high standard albeit little is known about this particular example’s history, but it has not wandered far in its life. Still on black plates. The bodywork is generally straight, original and seems unmolested and retains an even and glossy shine. The chrome bumpers, grille, hubcaps and lamp units are all in excellent condition. Very nice paintwork on straight body - looks to be clean from any rust. Beautiful interior - carpets, upholstery, door cards, wind lace like new. The cabin is wonderfully original, with vinyl on both front and rear bench seats in excellent condition. Alloy trim parts around the dash still in good or very good condition, with no missing or broken parts and no signs of water damage. The dash top is free of splits and tears and all the switchgear is present and functional. The door trims are very smart and the windows wind smoothly. The headlining is still fully in place and free of stains or tears. Boot all newly reupholstered. Clean engine bay. Undercarriage nice and tidy. Comes with spare wheel and jack - no handbook. All doors shut properly on their own weight. With classic Ford prices still routinely rocketing off into the stratosphere, a good example of a Zephyr Mk3 certainly offers a lot of Blue Oval for the money.
