This is a 1982 Fairmont Futura Coupe. It's a true survivor. I think I may be the third owner. The original owner drove it back and forth to work, about 30 mi. a day. The speedo says 82xxx mi. which I think are probably original. I acquired it through a trade, but have too many cars and so it needs to go to a new owner. It has the 2.3 four cylinder with a 4-speed manual trans. It runs fine and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it anywhere. The engine doesn't smoke or have any noises, the trans shifts just fine. The previous owner told me that he replaced the differential with an 8.8, instead of the stock one. He was planning to drop in a 302. I drove it for a while with no problems. The gauges all work, the interior is pretty nice with just one split on the side of the drivers seat. The vinyl for the headliner is gone. I suppose the glue dried up. The cardboard is intact and in good shape. There is one split on the dash pad, drivers side, but not bad. I put on the mag wheels. The tires are o.k. It has air shocks.
The body is very solid on this one with no rust through. The spots you see are only surface rust. There is no rust through underneath. It would be a great candidate for a hot rod or just do a quick paint job and drive it the way it is.
I'm starting it at a low price and selling it at NO RESERVE!. We all know how we hate reserve auctions. At least I do. I will accept cash, a good Cashiers Check or Postal Money Order. Please, no dreamers or tire kickers. I'm only interested in serious buyers, so make sure that you clear it with momma and have the money available before you bid. Ask any questions long before the end of the auction. The car is being sold "as is." There are no guaranties and no returns of any kind. I expect to hear from the winning bidder within 24 hr. of the auctions end and full payment is due within 5 days. The car can stay here for 30 days if it is paid for.
A note to scammers. I just successfully won a case against a scammer who is now sitting in jail. So, don't even think about it. I'm an honest person and I expect you to be the same. Good luck bidding!
Attention: If you are a first time bidder, please contact me first or I will cancel your bid.

Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.
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.
