alternate fox body?

78-82 Fairmont/Zephyr

I've seen that very car driving around town here. It sounds mean as hell passing by.

Probably my favorite Fairmont ever...the Futura with the LTD nose!!

WANT!

there is a guy who did drag week in a fairmount. He put a Junkyard Vortec 5.3 truck engine out of a suburban. Put a ZO6 cam, a chinese turbo, ebay intercooler, and a 8.8 that he narrowed himself. Pulling mid 9's with stock interior and a bunch of fox body goodies. Ultimate junkyard build up. He built the car to take it on pinks(not all out but to put up the pink slip). Unfortunately they don't do pink slip races anymore. I know chevy stuff in a Ford but it was a junkyard build and just goes to show the potential.

That to me is like the Ford version of a Buick GNX


Someday i WILL own a 347 powered LTD. Something with 4 doors that i can haul my kids in easily and still drive something with reasonable street cred

That car is bad a$$. What year Futura body, with what year LTD was used for that car.

I also agree with the GNX comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!

throw some nice wheels on it, and i do hear ditching the air ride is a good idea for the simple fact that it is a system needing constant repairs/replacement. but i have never had first hand experience.

I've owned 6 Mark VIIs, only one had a suspension issue. Through a used air compressor in and it was fixed. The system is easy to work with, it has self diagnostics just like the EEC and there's a ton of information online.

This reminds me of the old MM&FF August 2003 article about a 4-door mustang. It was a LTD.

Couldn't find any internet pictures so here is a couple pics from the mag.

Different. Weird. Not something you normally see, at all.

Yeah, I'd drive it.

That's the one I was talking about in my first post, but I couldn't find any pics!

Different, but I'd hit it anyways!

A Fairmont was the 1st car that came to mind as you should be able to tap into the vast supply of the Mustang Aftermarket.

yeah but have you seen the price for fairmonts lately?

Anybody remember these Cougars?

 

[1991notchbackLX]

Wow! I would rock the living **** out of that four door LTD-stang... it's like a stretch limo notch, haha.

347 mild cam, w/hellion set up for the ultimate sleeper. I'd rock the phone dials!
