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
emissions - Good Hood
(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 builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields
Fri, 27 Dec 2013According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.
Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
