These are highly engineered precision vehicles, the first step in diagnosing the problem is to strike the suspected offending part sharply and repeatedly with a blunt object, then re-test. -
Has to be an '83 or newer. LTD replaced the Fairmont on the Fox chassis at that time.
Personally I wouldn't mind finding a Fox LTD with the straight six. Nothing like having 90 HP to get you going.

Pretty sure they never put the 3.3 in the ltd, only the 3.8 v6, which is crap but functional, except that they blew head gaskets. Had an '81 zephyr wagon with the ol' straight 6 in it. That piece of shit was tough. At close to 300,000 miles it leaked oil from everywhere but ran great until i wrecked it. I want another fox non-mustang.

That 200 CI ThriftPower Six was available for the 1983 model year in LTD. In 1984 the 3.8 V6 replaced the I6.Originally posted by knucklehead0202 View Post
I guess it's all relative when you consider those 200 CI I6s started off in 1963 (which in turn traces itself back to the 144 I6 from 1960 in the Falcon). Not saying our 302/351 Panthers had modern engines by any means when they were made, but V6 applications had definitely made the scene by the time the 200 was replaced in 1984.

Thriftpower.. Sounds like a holdover slogan from the 40's or 50's.

I've seen this exact car (this exact ad) posted somewhere before. Gotta say, a Fox sedan or wagon is a car I've wanted much longer than my interest in Panthers.
Yes, the little baby I6 was in these cars. I've seen them in person like that. Also as stated, it is not older than 83.Comment

Weird they had to 2 crossover years, with fairmonts made 'til '84 and the little LTD's starting in '83. Another one people forget is the fox granada, you really don't see them either. There was one for sale locally on CL that was super clean but they wanted like 6 grand for it. Sorry, for a not-desirable car that's just too much, although i did kinda want it.Comment
