What's wrong with fairmonts/zephyrs? They're almost the exact same as the mustangs in the early 80's except for lengths. They were also the first fox bodies, although very boxy. I think they're cool myself , although that term is used very loosely

Are you nuts? The Futura RULED!!! my best buddy had a '79 Futura that came with a straight 6, but he put in a very mild 306, and pulled 12's all day long. That thing was 800 pounds lighter than a Mustang. Those are true low-budget sleepers.

Take care,
~Chris

I never liked the Mustang II's at all. That's the worst Mustang they ever made.

The Pintos are neat in my opinion. Put a turbo 2.3 in them and they will really fly.

I also like the 1981 Ford Fairmonts. Preferabally the 2 door sedans. I also like the Granada's from that period. Their's this lady that drives a 4 door Granada wagon. I'd love to get my hands on it and drop a 460 in it. Think about it, the ultimate cruising machine!

Daniel.

Talking THE TOE

My first Car was a POS Pinto....that thing had more bugs and quirks wrong w/ it then you could ever imagine. Standard too. First day i got it it SNOWED here! I'm kicking myself in the as$ for not getting any pics of it....it was ugly as hell. Electric Blue or something...hard to describe. BUT, I still have a soft spot for them!

Okay, first things first, what the hell does "uglier than a mud fence" mean????

Anyway, i can't believe some of you guys don't like the new birds, geesh.

Okay, i really think my least fave Ford is the Stang II. Some of them are cool, but they just don't appeal to me at all on a personal level.

Oh, and the dealership I used to work at had and Assfire with a 5 spd and 185k miles. it ran like a top and was hilarious to drive. I took that thing on errands on purpose just so i could powershift the crap out of it! It was a blast, lol.

73 pinto. Biggest piece of shite Ford ever built. My parents owned one in 73 , if you were at a stop sign, we had to wait until traffic was 2 miles away in either direction just to sure it was safe to pull out. I not saying it was slow,but I saw a turtle pass us and we were going down hill,with a stiff breeze behind us and the throttle was pressed to the floor. LOL
