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 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.
