1982 Fairmont Futura(?? has emblems on fenders)
5.0 Coyote
5R55 trans
.....not so much
3.3L I6/ C4(or 3 or 5???)
96,000 miles
I still have the '79 that my wife is driving. This '82 needs a few small things, but isn't a huge issue. Runs good and is 100% unmolested. Still has the factory cat. Only plans right now is to replace the exhaust and replace the radio/speakers.

Love it!

looks like you found a new addiction! I have always liked these cars myself
This is one is the wife's. Not much modding. So far I've replaced a ball joint, heater core, and the ler with a stock replacement. It is super quiet. :-(
Oddly....the 3.3 is a great long lived engine...(no power which you already know that) If you cut 2 cylinders off it becomes the Tempo 2.3 ohv....who knew. I would hope that car would have a C4. But it could be a C3. Need to check the tranny pan for quick ID.
Good luck,
Travis
Nice score :).
I'm convinced that more of these cars haven't been saved because the I6 K-member has to be swapped out to drop a 302/351 in.
Or you can use F150 mounts. But I have no intentions on swapping motors on this car.
I didn't know you could do that. Using F-150 mounts is easier than swapping a K-member.
Nice find!
My daughter in law has that car's exact twin!
Your sig has a great 4 door.
I have never seen a 4 door that nice!
My son has a 2 door Futura with most of the mechanical parts replaced with Fox Mustang parts.
It needs lots of cosmetic work though.
F150 engine mounts are your friend when you have a 3.3 K-member! ;)
It's unfortunate that this myth persists.
People take it for truth, and that most likely has caused some 3.3 cars to perish. :(
