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.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014



A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.

Ford applies to trademark term 'Lincoln eGlide'

Thu, Apr 30 2020

There's an epilogue to Ford's recent announcement that it's giving up on a battery-electric Lincoln co-developed with Rivian. The MachEClub forum discovered that just a week ago, Ford applied with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the term "Lincoln eGlide." The goods and services category details use for "Motor vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles, electric vehicles and structural parts and fittings; electric vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles, and structural parts and fittings." Living in an age where a small "e" is shorthand for "electric," and Ford having specified electric vehicles in the patent, the go-to guess is that this is for an electric vehicle. The inclusion of non-electric motor vehicles injects a little fuzziness. Tesla's trademark on the Model S specifies "electric automobiles" only, whereas Rivian's trademark for the R1T seeks coverage for "land vehicles" and just about every part found in or on a land vehicle.   Since Ford must have known about the end of the Rivian effort when it applied for the trademark, we suppose Lincoln has got some kind of eGlide coming no matter what. Lincoln refers to the theme of its latest cabin designs, as in the Aviator and Corsair, "Quiet Flight," and the road-scanning adaptive suspension on the Lincoln Aviator is called "Air Glide," neither term being trademarked. This leads our suspicions to eGlide becoming a vehicle component that could potentially serve a model with any powertrain, not necessarily battery-electric only, and eGlide won't be the name of the Lincoln EV that Ford says is still on the way. Another clue is that Ford included the word "Lincoln" in the term. Trademarked vehicle names such as Aviator and Corsair don't include the make, but services for vehicles do, such as the trademarks for Lincoln Connect and Lincoln Co-Pilot 360. We'll admit that a little bit of hope informs this line of thinking as well. Ford having done Lincoln the fabulous service of giving Lincolns terrific names, we'd be aghast if the Corsair and Navigator had to share showroom space with an eGlide. We've no choice but to wait for a retail product to provide answers. In the meantime, if we could just get to the bottom of this "Fastor Charge" trademark, and what's this bit about "Vandemonium?"   Related Video:        

Lower gas prices mean there are excellent deals on green cars right now

Sat, Jan 17 2015

The phenomenon was big enough to make news in 2006, then in 2008, in 2011, in 2012, in 2013, and again last year: a big move in gas prices means a big move in alternative-fuel-vehicle sales. True Car's TrueSavings report, which averages transaction prices across the country to figure out what people are paying compared to MSRP, shows that electric cars and hybrids are ripe for excellent savings right now. The Ford Focus Electric presents the greatest disparity, with the average transaction price of $25,168 representing a 16.1-percent saving off its $29,995 MSRP. The Kia Optima Hybrid and Toyota Prius also snagged spots in the top five, with the Kia offering a 10.7-percent discount and the Toyota a 10.1-percent discount. One hybrid managed to show up among the top five lease offers, too: the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is just $315 a month for 36 months after $3,875 down in some markets. Alt-energy vehicles got bumped out of the top five finance deals, however. That was dominated by light trucks and, oddly, two subcompacts. The press release below has more details. TrueCar finds hybrids, EVs top list of best savings in January Gasoline price plunge = savings for consumers on alternative fuel vehicles SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ford's Focus Electric hatchback, which sells at an average of 16 percent off MSRP, tops January's list of best savings on new vehicles, according to TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform. The "TrueSavings" monthly report analyzes current transaction prices and identifies opportunities for consumer savings. "Fuel savings are not top of mind to many consumers right now, and that makes this a great time to buy a hybrid or electric vehicle," said John Krafcik, president of TrueCar. "With gasoline prices now averaging just $2.10 per gallon, and vehicle preferences tied so closely to short-term gasoline prices, automakers are heavily discounting their most fuel-efficient cars to clear inventories." Toyota's Prius, the world's best-selling alternative fuel vehicle for more than a decade, also makes January's list of best savings. Customers who purchase a Prius Two model this month can save 10 percent off the hybrid car's $25,025 MSRP. "Gasoline prices and vehicle type preferences are strongly related, and this relationship is cyclical in nature," said Krafcik.
