This is a 1982 Fairmont Futura Coupe. It's a true survivor. I think I may be the third owner. The original owner drove it back and forth to work, about 30 mi. a day. The speedo says 82xxx mi. which I think are probably original. I acquired it through a trade, but have too many cars and so it needs to go to a new owner. It has the 2.3 four cylinder with a 4-speed manual trans. It runs fine and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it anywhere. The engine doesn't smoke or have any noises, the trans shifts just fine. The previous owner told me that he replaced the differential with an 8.8, instead of the stock one. He was planning to drop in a 302. I drove it for a while with no problems. The gauges all work, the interior is pretty nice with just one split on the side of the drivers seat. The vinyl for the headliner is gone. I suppose the glue dried up. The cardboard is intact and in good shape. There is one split on the dash pad, drivers side, but not bad. I put on the mag wheels. The tires are o.k. It has air shocks.
The body is very solid on this one with no rust through. The spots you see are only surface rust. There is no rust through underneath. It would be a great candidate for a hot rod or just do a quick paint job and drive it the way it is.
I'm starting it at a low price and selling it at NO RESERVE!. We all know how we hate reserve auctions. At least I do. I will accept cash, a good Cashiers Check or Postal Money Order. Please, no dreamers or tire kickers. I'm only interested in serious buyers, so make sure that you clear it with momma and have the money available before you bid. Ask any questions long before the end of the auction. The car is being sold "as is." There are no guaranties and no returns of any kind. I expect to hear from the winning bidder within 24 hr. of the auctions end and full payment is due within 5 days. The car can stay here for 30 days if it is paid for.
A note to scammers. I just successfully won a case against a scammer who is now sitting in jail. So, don't even think about it. I'm an honest person and I expect you to be the same. Good luck bidding!
Attention: If you are a first time bidder, please contact me first or I will cancel your bid.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
