The only problem with the car is, since they stopped production of the car in 1983, they also discontinued the parts in 1985. So as you can imagine... the parts are hard to come by.
The interior has shrunk over the years. The roof is coming undone, and the carpet is ripped up. the plastic pannels on the interior are cracked in some places.
I never really had any problems considering how for the last 6 years it didn't run. however I also bought an '82 Fairmont Futura with the same engine and trans, and since I swapped all the parts over, she runs like a dream. The car has a lot of guts for a six cylinder.
She really isn't that hard to work on. Especially after you realize that since it is a "FOX" chassis, the car,in all reality, is an 80's Mustang, with a longer hood, and a trunk.
The "Fox" chassis was originally used on the Fairmont; the Mustang just used it when the redesigned model came out in 1979.
The only '80's Mustang is... an '80's Mustang. The Fairmont is and always will be a rather nondescript economy car.
