Wow, that car is in very good condition for the age.

04yz250 11-28-2010 10:38 PM

would of never guessed it had that many miles on it, wow! you did good

Toreador4x4 11-28-2010 10:42 PM

well 96k on a 32 year old car is 3000 miles a year so its not too bad considering it was the guys only car up until he died

darangerdanger 11-28-2010 10:44 PM

amazing shape!!!

there's alittle old lady that comes into my work from time to time with a dark green one with only like 20k on the clock haha. she bought it brand new and drives it to the grocery store and thats it!

can't wait to see how the power mods come along!!

04yz250 11-28-2010 10:45 PM

well thats true but still sitting around for most of its life isnt good

Toreador4x4 11-28-2010 10:46 PM

thats awesome, most people expect me to tell them it only has like 20k on it...he must have driven it a decent amount, he was in the air force so it was parked at the air force base alot. sticker is still on the front bumper. it was bought new from tiedge ford in portsmouth ohio

04yz250 11-28-2010 10:49 PM

your lucky to find it, most wouldnt be in such good shape

Ranger_Guy15 11-28-2010 10:58 PM

That thing looks mint.

Toreador4x4 11-28-2010 11:00 PM

i saw a medium chestnut metallic fairmont box top a few weeks ago, i went flying into a parking lot to look at it, as i approached i realized it was a flintstone mobile, the bottom of the doors were gone, the rockers were gone and the bottom of both fenders and quarters were gone, made me realize how lucky i was to score this one

04yz250 11-28-2010 11:05 PM

yeah some guys have all the luck lol

wyldechild 11-28-2010 11:33 PM
