1972 Ford Fairmont Sedan GT Tribute - Blue with Red Stripes - 127,164km - 351ci V8, Automatic - South African Build
Overview
This 1972 Ford Fairmont is a South African-built four-door sedan that has been presented as a GT tribute, combining the classic Fairmont body with GT-inspired exterior styling and a 351 cubic inch V8 drivetrain. Importantly, this vehicle is a standard South African Fairmont and is not represented as a genuine factory Fairmont GT.
Built by Ford Motor Company of South Africa, the Fairmont shares much of its styling and architecture with the Australian Ford Falcon of the period. This example has been given a distinctive GT-inspired appearance, finished in blue metallic with contrasting red GT-style stripes, bonnet scoop and GT-style badging. The combination creates the appearance of the performance-oriented Falcons and Fairmonts of the era while retaining its identity as a South African Fairmont GT tribute.
Power is provided by a 351 cubic inch V8 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The engine bay presents neatly, while the exterior is complemented by chrome alloy wheels, chrome bumpers and period-inspired detailing.
Inside, the Fairmont features tan trim across the front bucket seats, rear bench and door cards. The dashboard retains Fairmont identification and period-style instrumentation, while a three-spoke steering wheel complements the classic presentation. A custom audio installation has also been fitted, including an amplifier and subwoofer in the boot along with Pioneer speakers mounted to the rear parcel shelf.
Condition
The vehicle presents in very good overall condition, with the blue metallic exterior and contrasting red stripe package providing a striking appearance. The tan interior also presents well throughout. Buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle to satisfy themselves as to its overall condition, specification and modifications prior to bidding.
