1979 Ford Fairmont Ghia review from Australia and New Zealand
"A real powerhouse that is a pleasure to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear seat has recently come adrift and the back rest is unstable.
General comments?
This car is very quick. Although it was cheap to build and is no oil painting, it is certainly a car to be respected.
