This 1981 Ford Fairmont Wagon is for sale on eBay with no reserve located in Bristol, Pennsylvania. The most obvious modification is the Mustang GT front. Under that sits a 514 ci Super Cobra Jet V8 built by Carol Hines and features aluminum heads, Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap intake, MSD ignition, and 900 cfm carburetor. The combo is good for around 650 horsepower. The transmission is a C6 automatic with a 2500 stall converter connected to a new driveshaft and 9″ rear end with Detroit Locker and 3.50 gears. Upgrades under the car include frame connectors, tubular K-member and rack, tubular lower control arms up front and 4-link with panard bar out back. Wilwood disc brakes and QA1 coilovers are found on each corner.
