I see so many Fox Mustangs in wrecking yards that I don't pay attention to them unless they're especially egregious Malaise Era abominations, but what about the other Foxes? Well, I'll shoot a Fox Capri or Fox Thunderbird if I see one, and of course the Fairmont and its Mercury Zephyr sibling are sort of interesting. We've seen this snazzy-looking beige-over-gold '82 Zephyr coupe and equallly snazzy-looking '80 Fairmont Futura coupe in this series, and I spotted this red '82 Fairmont Futura two-door at a Northern California yard a few months ago.
The two-door sedan version of the Fairmont Futura didn't sell so well, because if you were willing to put up with the inconvenience of two doors, why not get the groovy coupe with the cool-looking rear glass?
I probably shouldn't have attempted any online research on Foxtaur Racing, because it led right to some super-creepy Furry-related stuff. However, I ran into this page showing what may be the same car; the junkyard one doesn't have a vinyl top, but the Foxtaur Racing stickers are in the same locations. I'm sure that Crab Spirits will explore this theme further.
When you can't find the correct-colored interior parts for your car, you make do with what you can find.
Yes, that's a Pinto 2300 under the hood.
This was made when Detroit didn't worry too much about extremely phony-looking "wood" interior trim.
