Topic: Car inspection request Avon, CO.

Thus far I want this thing as a BABE Rally car.

81 Ford Fairmont - $500 (Avon, CO) wrote:

1981 Ford Fairmont Wagon..... Straight 6.... Automatic.... 90k original miles... also known as a Mercury Zephyr for some parts etc. .... I got it with 20k miles on it from a family that forgot they had it in their garage when they sold their vacation condo in Vail...$500.00... as is.

It has new tires and windshield. IT NEEDS to have the oil pan gasket redone and at some point a new radiator. It is not leaking when it is cold but when warm it leaks causing the oil to smoke under engine. It is rear wheel drive but with sandbags I have never had any problems in the snow. It is a cruiser not a racer but once it gets going it halls so you will have to be careful cus it is a boat so you will need time to slow down. I love this car and would keep it forever if I could.

Please email ford1981fairmont@hotmail.com and leave a message for Tim and contact number.

This thing is 100 miles West of Denver, CO on I-70. Anyone in the area or passing through that area that can look it over?
