Welcome to the forum. I had a 81 Ford Fairmont Futura long time ago. Didn't know Ford was still using the Fairmont nameplate anymore, but they must be since you have one.

Thanks,
so r u australian or u been to australia b4? or is there US Ford Fairmonts?

No, I'm not Australian and I've never been there before, I live in the USA near Richmond, VA on the east coast. Like I said, the Fairmont was a model Ford had in the USA back in the late 70's to early 80's. It was a mid-sized model that took the place of the Torino model I believe sometime around 1977 but I'm not real sure on that date. The 2 door coupe model was called a Fairmont Futura and looked fairly sporty. NHRA drag racer Bob Glidden drove a '79 model in the Pro Stock class and was very successful with it. I think Ford did away with the US version when they came out with the Taurus model, but I'm not really a Ford historian so I probably don't have the facts correct.
