Bullet Fairmont

[@bradkrekelberg8624]

That's a gorgeous car!

[@Str8sixfan]

Yea I thought so too. Very tasteful.

[@PoBoysDiesel]

That is a good looking Fairmont I have to say I cant wait to see what the future holds for yours Ive always liked the Fairmont my father had one back in the 80's the same color as yours definitely brings back memories. great job on the interview blessings to you and your loved ones

[@Str8sixfan]

hey thanks, hope I can continue to give you a ride down memory lane if you can't ride in the fairmont itself!

[@TheREALOC1972]

My grandma had a 2 door Fairmont wagon back in the mid and late 80's. It was some sort of "program car" that my grandpa bought from our local dealership. I don't remember the specifics but I guess they sent them to the highest selling dealerships in each state or something. I haven't seen one since then.

[@Str8sixfan]

crazy!

[@TheREALOC1972]

@@Str8sixfan GM did the same thing with the 79 and 80 the Malibu wagons, one of the guys that lived down the street was the sales manager at the local Chevy/Olds/Cadilllac dealership and had a 2 door wagon as a program car and they him drive it home and around town as advertisment and as a car they would use to drive people home while their car was getting worked on by the service department. I have only seen one of those since then too and that was at a Goodguys show in Florida.

[@Str8sixfan]

@@TheREALOC1972 I expected that out of the Vega and Pinto...but never heard of G-body and Foxbody versions before.

[@TheREALOC1972]

@@Str8sixfan Yeah they made them mostly as program cars for dealerships.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

I really like the play on the bullet! That green is smokin!!!

[@Str8sixfan]

It's a very sharp color, I agree

[@coreypratt2187]

Indeed!

Yea buddy!

[@slyane7320]

Fairmount Future is such a great platform...kinda hate that so many people are picking up on the fact that ANY fox body tricks work for the Mont,cause it was FOX before the Mustang...lol

The Fairmont Bullitt Looks sweet

[@raulsv4194]

This is the car Steve McQueen would have driven in 1979, if "Bullitt Too" had been filmed. And Bill Hickman (playing a twin brother of the deceased villain in the 1968 movie) would be driving a 1978 Dodge Magnum, seeking revenge.

[@Str8sixfan]

Haha, love it!

[@MrMach1]

He had a really good idea for the bullitt theme for the car. I like it

[@Str8sixfan]

I should have shot his locks, he used bullet casings (he works in munitions) for the locks. Also the studs on his valve covers.

[@bangurhead4027]

I like that color and the whole concept man, you should go all the way and SERIOUSLY ROD THAT BAD GIRL!! It would look hella sweet if you had some PHAT Racing slicks on the back and drag skinny's upfront. 👍

[@Str8sixfan]

Yea, it's not my car so unfortunately I don't know if I can help with that, haha! But I think the owner likes the pro-touring vibe on it. Thanks for watching!

[@MegaBlazed]

I learned how to drive in one back in the 80.s when they where new.

[@Str8sixfan]

They're memorable cars for sure!

[@ClientGraphics]

Definitely got some good and usable footage at Street Car Takeover and probably came back with some neat ideas. Super excited for you as you are soon to hit that 1k sub mark, keep up the great work!

[@Str8sixfan]

Hey thanks. Yea I think the boxtop Fairmont 2dr and the 78 Malibu are pretty close to looking like the same car. So it's hard not to like one if you like the other. Thanks for stopping by!

@@Str8sixfan yes you are correct about the similarities in the malibu and Fairmont. Again something I really never noticed until this week LOL. Now i like both!! Soft spot for the monte, cutlass and regal too of thar era.

I'm planning on bording the 302 block to a 306 along with adding some GT40X Aluminium heads as well as an E303 cam and Eldbrock truck performer intake manifold which should give it around 325 HP.

[@davidlackie487]

maybe someday I'll see somebody build a turbo-fairmont. Use the turbo 2.3 engine & drivetrain from a mustang cobra. update the standard fairmont suspension with mustang suspension and mustang or t-bird wheels/tires.

[@Str8sixfan]

sneak around some of the Fairmont groups. I feel like there's at least one person out there building one with a 2.3T

[@Blownblu03]

Awesome car, question anyone know where to get body parts for these cars?

[@Str8sixfan]

there is actually a guy around this area (Kansas City) who has a little bit of a stock. What are you looking for specifically?

[@Blownblu03]

Str8sixfan headlight bezel, window trim. I have some rust in my quarters but no one makes new quarters for these cars. Well no one makes anything for them. Year One needs to open there eyes now these cars are becoming hot
