    What are the odds of this? And really, those body panels look amazingly intact. Even the damn trim pieces and logos. The Falcon logo is especially nice because it was actually cooler and faster looking than the actual car itself.

    I wonder whether this will be recycled into a Prius or an Escalade?

    Agh, it doesn't bare thinking about...I just hope it gets turned into Coke cans or something else completely unrelated.

    Neither. It'll become a Geely.

    Actually, based on the amount of metal in this vs. a Geely, it will likely become half-a-dozen Geelys.

    Yeah, this is into Even A Left-Wing Greenie Can Tell It's A Classic territory. Come on, this is ridiculous.

    Pull the tailgate and Sawzall the C-pillars and the front of the bed. Section both sides as needed. Ridgelinise your Civic. El coche mas fina!

    @FromaBuick6:

    Or at least put them on craigslist in the Northeast where it is utterly inconceivable to find a classic this rust-free in a junkyard. So unfair.

    It's not a Greatmont. It's a Holyshitmont.

    Not only is it a nice price, I'd actually jump on it if it wasn't a race car. I've been looking for a reasonably priced, good condition Fairmont Durango for years.

    I'd rather have a Fairmont Futurachero, like the one posted here some time ago, instead of a Fairmont wagonchero.

    That said, it is a V8 Fox body, and it's cheap. What the hell, nice price.

    @FromaBuick6: I agree, Futurachero FTW. There's an old rusted Fairmont Futura along my commute, and I fantasize about making a hot rod out of it every day. Well, almost every day.

    Gotta say nice price. You get a lot for your money here. Engine upgrades and the roll cage are probably worth the money. He is definitely not trying to get his time and money back on this sale.

    I am unduly influenced by the voting choices. Who could reject "Fairmont, but not Greatmont"?
    I said no. It's interesting, but not 2-Large interesting.

    Had he left that body in its formerly wagonny shape, I'd give it a thought. Cutting every bit of structural integrity out of the back (which granted, probably wasn't much, but still) kind of ruins its potential. I am so out on that. Anyone got a light for this guy?

    @Bartender, make mine a double.: I would think the rollcage would more than make up for any loss of rigidity.

    @High Speed Indeed: I was thinking maybe a little, but keeping the original body structure intact with a roll cage would be the ultimate way to go.

    It looks to be worth that, although it appears like it still has the stock rear axle, which I'm sure will detonate right after those slicks hook up on a hard launch.
