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

(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 Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
Ford's Mulally makes shortlist for Microsoft CEO
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Ford CEO Alan Mulally has made the short list to take over tech giant Microsoft, lending further credence to rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would ditch Dearborn and move to Redmond.
The report comes from Reuters, which claims that alongside Mulally, former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and three candidates from within Microsoft are on the short list to succeed Steve Ballmer at the company's helm, although previous reports claim the Ford exec is the number one candidate. Mulally is currently working without a contract, although Bill Ford seems to believe that he isn't likely to depart. Despite this belief, Ford was quoted just last month talking about the depth of talent on the Blue Oval's executive team.
"There is no change from what we announced last November. Alan remains fully focused on continuing to make progress on our One Ford plan. We do not engage in speculation," said Ford spokesman Jay Cooney.
