    Other than the front bumper being pushed in, no headliner, and the tailgate lower trim missing this looks like a great low mileage car. Looks to be at a dealer. I can't believe how good the engine looks.
    Is the tail light trim supposed to be Black?

    I think there's a piece of bright trim missing from the taillight surround.

    It's at a dealer, so this is a dealer price. The problems aren't huge, but there are several of them, and I wonder if the price is a bit high in light of them. Note the lack of even an AM radio. And another seller that doesn't know the difference between leather and vinyl. I can't find any mention of a leather interior option in the '79 Fairmont brochure.

    It does look like it's in very good condition overall.

    I'm not sure but I think those tail light lenses are from another Fox-body wagon. It also looks like the top of the engine was painted; compare it to the side of the oil pan in the driver's side view.

    And for what it is, half that price is about where it should be.

    Well since we're nit-picking here, it's missing the hose from the air cleaner to the air intake behind the battery.
