1981 Ford Fairmont from North America - Comments

Nothing short of routine oil changes and brake replacement.

Worst looking car I've ever had. Lots of rust, and had previously been wrecked. However, it ran perfectly, even the air conditioning worked.

I am 16 years old and have the same car. It takes me everywhere even through fields of mud I discoverd. It is the ugliest car ever, but the nicest runing engine I believe Ford has ever made.

My 16 year old son bought a 1981 Ford Fairmont for $300.00. and then later just gave it to me when my Chevy Van broke down. It has a good body with very little rust, though, there are a few places. The paint has faded and now the red is two toned. I would like to find someone to paint it. I did have to replace the fuel pump and a starter, and also the oil gasket seal. though I have put about $500.00 (That includes the towing fees) I think it was worth it. The old car runs great. Now my son wishes he hadn't given it up!

I once had a 1978 Ford Fairmont Futura when I was a kid and that car also ran great. Just wish I had some information on where I could get interior parts and other things to fix the one I have now up. If anyone has any ideas write me at ladyjane58@mchsi.com. Thanks. JJ.
