Ford Fairmont GT 1970 - Great restoration project
Hi,
After owning my 1970 Ford Fairmont GT (XW shape) for 20 years I am now looking for a new home for it.
It was working perfectly till I rolled it (after a blowout on a dirt road in the Karoo). Roof’s a bit dented in, but sides not too bad. A great restoration job for someone. (especially if you can find a 6cyl Fairmont body for cheap, and chop ‘n change body parts).
It had a comprehensive service and tune-up prior to fateful trip (at Mechanicar, Cape Town)
351 Cleveland engine. AT. The only non-genuine parts in the car are the Powerflow pipes I put on recently.
ID plates intact.
Car is in Cape Town.
Asking price: R55 000

Sorry, here is a pic pre-accident.
Will swing by the car later today or tomorrow to take post-accident pics.
BTW - had chassis checked out and all is fine.

Re: Ford Fairmont GT 1970 - Great restoration project
Thanks ZA Perana,
Was gutted when it happened, still am.
But luckily my two toddler kids and wife got out without a scratch. With all the modern safety devices they put into cars these days, there's still no substitute for a solidly-built car.
Hurts me to have to sell after being together for 20 years.
PS if anyone is interested in restoring this car, I have the number of a guy who has a 6cyl Fairmont with a body in decent nick - going for R15k.

Re: Ford Fairmont GT 1970 - Great restoration project
Is a sale a must do because I am sure over time you could build it up again, Burt on the forum does great work on these cars, perhaps something to consider as I think the sentiment attached to owning something for so long.david gimpel wrote:Thanks ZA Perana,
