I love the cars but the adventures you get up to with all the family involved are absolutely great to watch, watched the $1200 camper ones back to back. I have been watching Goonzquad for a number of years and their family vibe along with wholesome content was what I liked, they are changing though, becoming money hungry and too slick. You have replaced them as my favourite channel. Keep up the great work and I will keep watching.

    Hey, Sleeperdude, love this car, I hope you go all the way with this one and make her shine again. But that's not why I am commenting. You asked in the video why does Rocky always want to eat cardboard? I can answer this as I have 40+ goats and actually run a goat care group. Rocky is lacking trace minerals. I noticed this a while ago, and Granny goat also lacks copper and Zinc. That reddish hue to their coat is a classic copper deficiency. Many states as well as Canada are deficient in selenium and copper so it's not anyone's fault, just that we need to supplement. Once you give copper you will see a big difference in their coats and shedding process. Sorry man, I couldn't help myself, but I am sure you understand I am only answering your question and answering with the best intentions at heart. I try not to miss an episode, love the cars and the family and your goats.

    I casually bumped into this video. Seeing you guys rescue this car brought many memories. My dad had a 1981 Fairmont. It was a two-tone (brown on top and red wine on the lower half divided by a yellow trim). He kept it pristine and took great care of that car. It always had problems with the carburator and break pump, though. My dad passed away in 2012 and we kept the car and took care of it until last year, when we had to sell it. Thanks for sharing this fellas!

Sure the interior is baked but after the cleanup it's a solid car, and I am excited to see if she will fire up and run alongside the big-block Futura. I'm also hoping that the red brush painted boxtop Fairmont wasn't crushed so fingers cross!

    Those factory V8 Fairmonts and Zephyrs are pretty rare. I grew up in Dearborn when those were new, and didn't see many. I still remember going to the Lincoln Mercury dealer with my mom and dad back in 77 to order a new Zephyr wagon. I kept asking my dad to order the V8 because I would start driving soon. He ordered the straight 6 (200?) because that was right after the time of the OPEC "oil crisis". Warm over that little 302 and that would be a nice air conditioned sleeper, dude. Thanks for posting.

      The vehicle was the result of a joint venture between Ford and National Coach Works, located in Los Angeles, California.
      While not officially a production vehicle or a replacement for the Ford Ranchero (which ended production after the 1979 model year), the Durango was designed as a potential competitor to the newly downsized Chevrolet El Camino and was commissioned by Ford to be sold through Ford dealerships. As no official totals were kept by either company production estimates vary between the low 200s and 350, with 212 conversions known to have been made by National Coach Works.

    Only need to use some turtle wax on it. It is in better shape then I originally thought? Maybe the 302 will still turn over? The gas cap will may be indicate the concition of the motor. I like 302s though that is what was in my 67 Mustang and it was a pretty good ripper for a kid back in high school in 78. If not send it to the machine shop to have it bored over .10 thousands. And redo the crank and heads and everrything. I love old 302s. LOL the are a great running engine. Replace the intake valves in the heads with 2 inch chevy vavles Im not kidding and it will be very fast. thats what the guy at the machine shop told me the guys at the race track loved to do to them in the seventies and he said they loved them that way.

    The interior on this Black Fairmont cleaned up pretty well! And after doing some research, I believe that car came originally with what Ford called a Targa style vinyl top in Red! Whoever bought that car from the get-go, really optioned it out!!!! Great video!!!!

  • @MM-nn7tk

    I really enjoyed the video. You certainly got the whole family involved in the clean up. I like to see these old Fairmonts. I remember riding in one way back in 1980. A friend's Dad used to drive us to Civil Air Patrol meetings in one. It was a green 4-door with a 4-cylinder engine. I wouldn't mind having one now to work on and restore. Finding one up here in the rust-belt (PA) would probably be a challenge.

    I owned a 1978 Ford Fairmont station wagon back in 1989. It was yellow with woodgrain stickers on the side. It had a factory 8 track tape player. The car was totaled in a wreck in 89.

    Hi Guys, car turned out nice. I always liked that Ford body style car also. I always heard boxy when people described those cars and don't agree. The mid to late 70's the US car market was in transition and all the car makers were "finding their way". The Fairmont's a nice car. Well powered, nicely optioned and a comfortable ride. 1978 was 44 years ago. Eagles, Boston, Kansas, Rush, Led Zeppelin were popular. Jimmy Carter was president. The world was a different a vastly different place!

    I had a 78 Fairmont wagon bought new when I worked for Ford in the late 70's.l It was fully optioned 302 in a deep green metallic. Gogeous car and I loved it. The Cat plugged so I cut it out and the car went like a scalded cat. The 302 was 2 barrel only.
