1981 Ford Fairmont Estate Wagon Squire Additional Info:
No reserve auction, whatever it is at when it ends is what the car goes for!
This is a really clean honest car, it runs great and I haven't had to do anything to it besides a battery and alternator. (I also put in a bluetooth head unit by retro sound so I could use my phone to listen to music)
Been daily driving the car around and really just enjoying it. All documentation is present along with original adverts and manual. I flipped through them and it's all basic maintenance stuff like brakes and tires. Also comes with a few different sets of hubcaps, though I likes the ones on there now the best. All the older cars I have ever bought have needed the window rubber seals replaced so when I got the car I bought a set of them (was hard to track down and kinda pricy) but then it didn't even need them, bone dry even when going through a car wash so you get those as well (maybe it will need them in 10 years?)
I grew up in the midwest and this car is a complete unicorn there...it has zero rust on the body and under body. Would make a great candidate if you wanted to build a sleeper or something wild like the below since the car is so light (2700 lbs!) I guess a lot of guys put a ford smallblock or a chevy small block in them which might explain why nice ones are really hard to find. Or you could just do what I have been doing, and drive it around. Gets a lot of looks and attention which is pretty fun. The middle seat folds down so it's really utilitarian as well, I moved some 8ft long 2x4's without a problem.

The only things wrong with the car is one of the seat belts in the back seat is missing a plastic retainer so it's hard to reach in order to buckle. The plastic piece is missing though new ones are pretty cheap online. There is a small tear in the drivers front seat, hard to see if the pictures but if a big dude is sitting in the drives seat you can see it, the seat is fine but could use a restitch if it bugs you. The lighter color wood molding around the darker wood molding on the outside has lost its clear coat, I was thinking about re wrapping it in vinyl off a similar wood grain but never really got around to it. The paint is really good but not perfect, has a few blemishes here and there but nothing crazy. If I haven't started it in a long time it needs a little bit to warm up, I was told that the carburetor could use a bit of a cleaning but its never bugged me enough to do anything about it.
Oh and I have a video of it running here, https://youtu.be/duo2fNHcceU
I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere and have made a few 1000 mile trips in it without issue, even has functioning cruise control!
Mileage is at 87126 but I'm still driving it around and to work everyday so that's going to go up a little bit as a heads up.
So hey, thanks for checking out the car and let me know if you have any questions or if you want more pictures or a specific picture of something!

A lot of people have been asking me where the car is, under shipping it lists the location as Seattle WA and that is where the car is!
