Fairmont 1960 A3-D-3, have the birthing papers and it was originally sold to the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad, 70s era Ford 1.6L [98ci] engine, think it is industrial? Borg Warner 4 speed trans, with forward and reverse differential. When I bought this 22+ years ago the guy didn’t know anything about the engine [it has been in the barn or well covered all of those years, until early last fall when I started working on it. I have tons of pix of 7+ months of work. Had the top and bottom off of the engine all looked good, one cylinder was lightly stuck so put in 4 sets of standard rings. The bearings are all still standard and looked very good. Some of the new parts, new aluminum welded radiator with electric cooling fan, stainless steel hoses, new carburetor, new starter, good battery, all new wiring, and gauges, all new lights some LED, horns, seats [have three sets of seat belts you will need to install yourself, if wanted,] have hand holds for passengers, tow bar and tow hitches, front and read push handles, rear pull out turning bar. Flags, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, many coats of new paint, looks fairly good. All glass in in good shape. Probably one of the most important things has all new brake shoes and insulating blocks from Stuart Remmers at S and E Rail Car Parts. I believe the 16” pressed wheels are all good? It’s been over 20 years since I was shown how to measure them. I do have 3 extra wheels for sale. Have changed the grease in the trans and diff and of course oil and filter and anti freeze. Think I have found and greased all zerks?

I have wired the headlights and tail/stop lights so you can have them on either end, since it will run the same speed either way. Used DPDT switches to accomplish this, also has two LED dome lights and lighted gauges and pilot lights on some items.. Most of the wood is new, floor and cross members. All of the new wood was primed with oil based paint before installing and finish painting.\

I have no way at this time to get it on the rails for checking and road testing, so that will be your responsibility. While I think this car to be in good condition it is sold as is where is, with no warranty of any kind. I will tell you anything I know about it. Thankyou for looking, I will be happy to answer any questions and or email specific pix you may want to see. May be able to deliver to a few areas for extra cost?? Asking price $10,500 cash obo. use Bookoo messaging.
