Up for sale is my dad's 34 year old 1980 Ford Fairmont 2 door sedan with a clear Indiana title.  The car was purchased my by dad in 2003, in pretty much the same condition as it is now, from the old lady across the street who bought it new.   My dad has put probably 4000 miles on since he had it.  This was his second car intended for restoration, but never got around to it.  Car only has 62,7XX original miles.  The car has been sitting for the last two years.

Cars runs and drives.  Motor sounds great.  Smooth and quiet (even with 2 year old gas).  Since its been sitting so long, it does have small amount of light blue smoke when it is first started, but goes away in a few seconds, it never did that before it sat.  Transmission shifts as it should, brakes work, windows work, radio works, power steering works, rear defroster works, all lights work, heater works, gauges work (clock works when it wants to), wipers work, AC worked before it was parked.  The valve cover gasket leaks slightly (not much few drops every now and then) may need to be tightened, the gasket was replaced a few years ago.  No other leaks. 

Before it was parked, he had installed a new water pump, new steel brake lines installed, new gas tank, gas tank straps, new exhaust system and new head liner.  The tires are just decent and would need to be replaced at some point (some uneven wear in front) and they were just budget brand tires, because it wasn't driven much.  Vinyl top has seen better days.

This car would make a good restoration project.  The body is the same Ford "FOX" platform the Mustang used in the late 70's, 80's and early 90's.  All motor, transmission and suspension parts are easily acquired at any auto parts store.  I am not sure of the condition of the underside, floors inside seem solid, no rotted carpet.  It is difficult to take pictures from underneath and the car.
