Welcome to the forum. I had a 81 Ford Fairmont Futura long time ago. Didn't know Ford was still using the Fairmont nameplate anymore, but they must be since you have one.

No, I'm not Australian and I've never been there before, I live in the USA near Richmond, VA on the east coast. Like I said, the Fairmont was a model Ford had in the USA back in the late 70's to early 80's. It was a mid-sized model that took the place of the Torino model I believe sometime around 1977 but I'm not real sure on that date. The 2 door coupe model was called a Fairmont Futura and looked fairly sporty. NHRA drag racer Bob Glidden drove a '79 model in the Pro Stock class and was very successful with it. I think Ford did away with the US version when they came out with the Taurus model, but I'm not really a Ford historian so I probably don't have the facts correct.
