1980 Ford Fairmont 2-door Coupe Inline 6 Engine (3.3l) Automatic Rund And Drives on 2040-cars
Griffith, Indiana, United States
Read EVERYTHING below before you bid. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS DO NOT BID. I will legally hold you to your bid.
SOLD AS-IS, WHERE IS I live in Northwest Indiana, 36 miles south east of Chicago, just off of interstate I-80.
If you have questions, ASK! Up for
sale is my dad's 1980 Ford Fairmont 2 door sedan with a clear Indiana title. The car was purchased my by dad in 2003, in
pretty much the same condition as it is now, literally from the old lady across
the street who bought it new. My dad has
put probably 4000 miles on since he had it.
This was his second car intended for restoration, but never got around to
it. Car only has 62,7XX original
miles. The car has been sitting for the
last two years. Cars runs
and drives. Motor sounds great. Smooth and quiet (even with 2 year old
gas). Since its been sitting so long, it
does have small amount of light blue smoke when it is first started, but goes
away in a few seconds. Transmission
shifts as it should, brakes work, windows work, radio works, all lights work,
heater works, gauges work (clock works when it wants to), wipers work, AC
worked before it was parked. The valve
cover gasket leaks slightly (not much) may need to be tightened, it was
replaced a few years ago. No other
leaks. Before it
was parked, we installed a new water pump, had new steel brake lines installed,
new gas tank, straps, new exhaust. The tires
are just decent and would need to be replaced at some point (uneven wear in
front). Vinyl top has seen better days. To be
honest, it is difficult to find body parts for these cars up north in wrecking
yards. There are so many of these cars
out west and down south to get parts.
This car would make a good restoration project. the body is the same Ford "FOX"
platform the Mustang used. I am not sure
of the condition of the underside. It is
difficult to take pictures from underneath and the car so no insurance to drive
it somewhere to put it on a lift. THE
GOOD - Good
Motor - Good
Transmission - Passed
emissions - Good Hood
(missing hood ornament) - Good Trunk Lid - Good
Lenses/Lights - Good
Interior - All good
glass (windows roll up/down - New
exhaust, brake lines, water pump, gas tank - All four matching hub caps - No bad interior smells - Has all keys - Clear Indiana Title THE NOT
SO GOOD Blame the
salt used up north in the winter on the rust.
The car looks like it has more rust, he went over the surface rust with
some brown paint to try and stop the rust further, I don't know why. - Fenders
are shot - Doors
aren't too bad, surface rust on bottom (doors open close properly lock/unlock - Quarter panels have some rust and some very small holes, but salvageable - Rocker panels are bad
- The right rear bumper guard fell off - Some
play in the steering - No spare tire
or jack. The car is drivable, that's up to you. Would it make it 20 miles? Would it go 2000 miles? In my opinion, probably. **

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
TX officer allegedly lets 140-mph street racer go with a warning [w/poll]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Being pulled over by the police is one of the most nerve-racking situations that a driver can go through, and it's even worse when you know that the officer has you dead to rights for speeding well over the posted limit. In this video, the driver of a heavily modified Ford Mustang with a claimed 966 horsepower at the rear wheels could have easily lost his ride for doing triple-digit speeds and street racing, but a friendly Texas police officer appears to send him on his way with a simple warning.
What's more, the driver in question wasn't just speeding - his Mustang was the camera car for a bunch of rolling street races in the wee hours of the morning on a Texas highway. The driver was more than willing to mix it up in the action, too. Eventually the cops catch on and pick the 'Stang to pull over, but not before the Ford owner runs a claimed 140 mph. With only audio to go on after the car is pulled over, the police officer seems incredibly nonchalant about catching someone who was so brazenly breaking the law. Incredibly, the patrolman actually tells the driver that he's seen everyone racing tonight but ignored them. With traffic picking up, the cop says that it's time to "cut it out" and go home for the night. As far as this video shows, that was the end of it.
Warning: There is explicit, not-safe-for-work language in the video below.
Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs
Sat, 14 Jun 2014He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
