I am an old car guy who never got married or had kids. I found your channel a while back, man you are so blessed. 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

The Fairmonts were a great car for their time. A new lighter and stronger Fox unibody. Your 2 door coupe Fairmont is loaded up with options!! I hope the engine will rotate! My guess is Fox Mustang floor repair panels will work on the Fairmont with some trimming. Back in the day the 2 door coupe was called the Baby Thunderbird. The entire family did an excellent job cleaning up the car!! You and your wife are awesome role models.

Well I am a Chevy man but the Fairmont does look good and it is lots better because of the 302 not sure why they put the inline 6 in most of the 70s like my old Granada did but the black on red interior looks good you all did a great job of cleaning it

No 4bbl carb available in any Ford car in 1978. I think you could get power windows and locks though. This car is very well equipped and I agree, the color combo is beautiful. I almost bought a new Thunderbird on Halloween 1983 that was black with red pin stripes and gray cloth interior. It even had the moonroof that you could flip up or take out. It had a pouch in the trunk that you would put the glass in when driving without the moonroof. This car is an amazing find.

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.

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 had 2 of those fairmonts. one had a straight six the other a 4 cyl. combined them and dropped a 302 in it then a floor shifter, dual exhaust raised the rear put nice rims and tires. then winter hit. during winter i had to move it from where it was sitting. it wouldnt start. so a mechanic friend of mine came and got it to his garage. he liked it so much he bought it from me. found out it spun the bearings in the bottom but was an easy fix for him. i wish i still had that car it was fast with the 302 in it.

The Fairlane Futura is one of the best looking cars Ford made in the late 70's in my opinion anyway. I've always wanted one to hot rod. Lots of them were turned into drag cars. I'm jealous. Hope you can get it back on the road.
