If I were to guess I'd say a '79.  I used to be big into Fairmonts..I had a fairly tricked out one for the time.

Here's a few pics of her (not to hijack your thread, but to show what you can do with them)










They make great racecars.  Very light, cheap and essentially a 80's Mustang chassis.  Mine had a built up 302 that ran mid 12s (back in the 80's)

They're boxy but good!

It's toooo plain to be a Zephyr. The owner could of changed the grill and taillights as they were pretty much the same. It doesn't look like it's in bad shape though. Hmmmmm why would a Zephy have A Fairmont "Futura" badging?

I'm going to guess it's an '81 or '82.

My EX-wife got drunk and crashed it into a graveyard (seriously). Needless to say she is my EX wife. ;)  Car was completely totaled.

Don't really have much more pics offhand.. I'd have to dig some more out of the attic
