    Just sayin'........

    Nice condition, but definitely low end. The dog-dish hubcaps do nothing for it.

    Those bucket seats are interesting. Not sure if I've ever seen those in one of these.

    Odd that a squire would be so bare-bones. That front license plate is hilarious! :)

    Per Fairmont brochure, 'Corinthian' all-vinyl bucket seats available as an option on the Squire with the 2.3 4-cylinder engine beginning in late 1977. I guess they expanded the availability later......

    I think you miss read the Brochure, it says Bucket seat come standard with the 2.3, and are available with the 3.3 (200ci I-6) and 5.0 V-8. in 78

    Different bucket seats. The 'standard' ones are what they called 'Colton' all-vinyl bucket seats (red ones in picture 'F')
    The ones in the 'for sale' vehicle appear to be the (nicer) 'Corinthian' bucket seats (gold ones in picture 'C')
    - These brochure specs can be quite confusing - particularly Fords I've noticed over the years.

    They are probably asking that much to get back what they put into the bodywork and paint.

    I kinda sense an attitude on this listing. " If I don't get my reserve, I'll just keep enjoying it "
    Well, if you are currently "Enjoying " it so much, why are you selling it.??? Just sayin'......:scratchchin:
