1970 Ford Fairmont

KEY FACTS A rare and iconic Australian sedan, upgraded with a larger engine and refinished in tribute to the performance-focused 'GT' and ‘GS’ variants of the XW. Understood to have been built with an S-code 221ci High Compression straight-six, it is now powered by a 351ci V8 engine, driving the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. The seller notes that the car has been unregistered for 15 years. The odometer shows 82,758 miles, though this is not warranted. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES It is finished in blue paintwork with ‘GS’ replica pinstripe decals, over a grey and blue cloth-trimmed interior. The car has been retrofitted with an LPG fuel system, and has the compliance plate present for this. Equipment includes a wood-rim steering wheel, heating and ventilation controls, manual windows, and a modern JVC radio/CD player. Accompanied by the owner's manual and two keys. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there has been some minor damage around the car in the past. SUMMARY The Ford Fairmont is a cherished Australian classic, celebrated for its robust engines and distinctive styling. This example, now featuring a 351ci Cleveland V8 capable of running on LPG, offers a unique blend of power and practicality from its era. It represents an exciting opportunity for an enthusiast to acquire a tribute to Australian motoring history and enjoy its V8 soundtrack on the open road.
