Anyone need a fairmont project?

Saw this on Craigslist and it's just begging for a turbo'd 351

But its Primo.

it is that for sure... they're getting harder and harder to find... you couldn't restore a trashed $100 fairmont for twice that. it's not like a pony car where you can open a catalog and order replacement parts for EVERY part on the car

finding a clean survivor with clean interior is more and more difficult... if you had a kink for futuras, I could see spending a couple grand on it. if it was an original V8 or 4cyl car, that would bump the price some IMO

I could see that. I always try to find a balance price and condition. I would love to have that car for $2,xxx

it just depends on whose fancy it strikes

I think it's worth more than $2k, but futuras aren't my thing... I'm a wagon guy, and I've owned a cleaner/lower mile wagon for a decent amount less than he's asking.

the long and short of it is, if you like the car and it's super clean, $3500 isn't crazy IMO... anybody can do paint/body (although it's a lot of work and/or money!!!)

but a nice mint interior if it's a car that just tickles your fancy is worth a LOT for an obscure car like that

I know where there is a last generation Granada 2 dr I have my eye on. You NEVER see those last Granadas, much less a 2 dr.

The range was moved to Ford's newer Fox platform (introduced as the 1978 Ford Fairmont and Mercury Zephyr) for the 1981 model year and was sold through the 1982 model year. The Granada name was retained, but the Monarch name was replaced by Cougar in Mercury's lineup. Styling of these cars resembled a slightly bigger and more formal version of the Fairmont, with upgraded interior trim. Base power for the Fox-body Granada was a 2.3 L Lima I4, with an optional 200 cid straight six and 255 CID V8.
