Cool 'Mont. Ya gonna keep those ghetto hubcaps? :D

I've always liked 2-door Fairmonts and Zephyrs - they are literally the box Fox T-Birds and Cougars came in :p

A 2-door! That's a great candidate for a restoration. Nice find!

Those look like Aerostar wheel covers.

I sure wouldn't mind having one of those style Fairmonts to drop a 351 & 5 speed into...that would be sweet.

Ether has a great Idea. But in that car any motor that makes it quick would make it a sleeper.

My buddy has one like that.  Only it's about the same red color as my car.  351 w/ C4.  It's pretty quick, but it doesn't turn 13's like he claims.... :nono:
