1972 Ford Fairmont 351-GT Sedan - Blue with Red Stripes - 127,134 Miles - 351ci V8, 4-Speed Automatic
This Ford Fairmont 351-GT was built in South Africa under Ford Motor Company licence, this four-door sedan captures the muscle car spirit of the early 1970s with genuine performance credentials. The 351 cubic inch V8 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission delivers authentic period power, while the iconic 351-GT badging and aggressive hood scoop signal serious intent. This is a genuine, numbers-matching classic that embodies the era when mid-size family sedans could genuinely perform.
This example presents in striking condition throughout. The blue metallic paint holds excellent gloss across all panels with clean panel gaps and straight bodywork. The distinctive red GT stripes run the full length of the vehicle, adding purposeful visual aggression. Chrome trim and bumpers remain bright and well-preserved. The interior features period-correct tan leather upholstery in excellent condition, with minimal wear to the seat bolsters and dashboard. The original steering wheel, instrument cluster with green-illuminated gauges, and factory dashboard layout remain intact and functional. The engine bay presents cleanly with the original 351 V8 engine displaying correct badging and original air intake configuration. All four doors operate smoothly, and the glass is clear throughout. The odometer reads 127,134 miles, consistent with the vehicle's age and presentation.
South African-built Fairmonts are increasingly sought after by classic car enthusiasts, particularly the performance-oriented 351-GT variant. These vehicles represent a unique intersection of American muscle car engineering and local manufacturing heritage. The combination of genuine V8 performance, original specification, and solid condition makes this an increasingly rare find in the market. At current classic car valuations, this represents genuine value for a fully functional, authentically specified 1970s performance sedan.
