1978 Ford Fairmont V8 302 – Restoration Project
Offered for sale is a 1978 Ford Fairmont fitted with its original matching-numbers 302 V8. This car was purchased with the intention of a full restoration, but plans have changed and I've decided to buy an already restored vehicle instead.
The Fairmont has been stored in paid undercover storage for the past two years and has not been driven during that time. It will require towing from its current location.
A solid foundation for a restoration project, the car presents with only minimal rust in the typical areas for its age. Original matching-numbers drivetrain makes it an attractive candidate for an enthusiast looking to restore a classic Ford.
