Faults:

The only problem with the car is, since they stopped production of the car in 1983, they also discontinued the parts in 1985. So as you can imagine... the parts are hard to come by.

The interior has shrunk over the years. The roof is coming undone, and the carpet is ripped up. the plastic pannels on the interior are cracked in some places.

General Comments:

I never really had any problems considering how for the last 6 years it didn't run. however I also bought an '82 Fairmont Futura with the same engine and trans, and since I swapped all the parts over, she runs like a dream. The car has a lot of guts for a six cylinder.

She really isn't that hard to work on. Especially after you realize that since it is a "FOX" chassis, the car,in all reality, is an 80's Mustang, with a longer hood, and a trunk.

Lost oil pressure at 159000 miles.

General Comments:

A very tough car my dad gave me when I turned 16. He was a good owner, but I beat it to death. When it lost oil pressure, I got another cheap car and sold it to a junkyard because the interior and body were trashed, the air conditioner did not work, and I felt that it was not worth fixing.

It was an excellent car to have because it was reliable, rear wheel drive, and I always enjoyed driving it.

Faults:

The first day we had it, the brakes failed.

General Comments:

This car, other than the brakes failing, is absolutely indestructible. We have hit a lot of trees and rocks with the car. The engine has taken a beating, and still runs. The transmission has constantly been shifted into reverse to stop the car, and still works just fine.
