1989 Ford Fairlane NC II Sedan - Green - 89,787km - 4.0L Inline 6, Automatic, Rear Wheel Drive
Overview
The Ford Fairlane NC II represents the final generation of Australia's iconic locally-built family sedan, produced from 1988 to 1995. This 1989 example is a four-door, five-seat sedan powered by Ford's venerable 4.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel-drive configuration. The Fairlane NC II was engineered to Australian Design Rules and remains a significant piece of Australian automotive heritage, offering straightforward mechanical simplicity and genuine driving character from an era before electronic complexity dominated the market.
This particular vehicle presents as a genuine, unmodified example of the model. The sage green exterior finish is consistent across all panels, and the body retains its original proportions and trim. The four-door sedan configuration provides practical family accommodation with a spacious interior layout typical of late-1980s Australian sedans. The vehicle has accumulated 89,787 kilometres on the odometer, suggesting moderate use over its 35-year lifespan.
At the current market valuation for unrestored NC II Fairlanes in this condition, vehicles of this age and mileage typically command between AUD $2,500 and $4,500 depending on mechanical condition and presentation. This example represents accessible entry-level classic motoring for buyers seeking genuine Australian automotive history without the premium pricing of fully restored examples.
Condition
The exterior paint shows its age with a dull finish and minor surface oxidation visible across the bonnet and roof panels. The bonnet exhibits surface rust spotting and light corrosion, whilst the front and rear bumpers show rust staining and minor impact damage consistent with age and use. The lower door panels display rust staining typical of vehicles from this era, and the tailgate shows rust spotting around the edges. All four doors operate smoothly, and the windows function correctly. The sage green colour remains identifiable, though the clear coat has faded and shows minor crazing in places.
The interior presents with honest wear consistent with the vehicle's age and kilometres. The front seats show bolster wear and fading of the original upholstery fabric. The rear seat upholstery displays discolouration and wear, and the door panels show fading and minor cracks in the trim. The dashboard is intact with no major cracks, though the steering wheel shows typical wear from use. The instrument cluster is legible and the odometer reads 89,787 kilometres. The carpeting shows wear and staining typical of a vehicle of this age.
The engine bay is mechanically original with the 4.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine displaying its age but showing no signs of major oil leakage. The engine bay is reasonably clean with original hose routing and component placement intact. The automatic transmission appears to be the original unit. All fluid levels should be checked prior to operation. The battery is present and appears serviceable.
The four Pirelli tyres show moderate to heavy wear with reduced tread depth, and replacement will be necessary before extended driving. The wheels are steel with original Ford hub caps. The spare wheel is present in the boot. The boot itself is clean and functional with the original carpet lining intact.
