Thread: MERCURY """Z"""

  1. #1

    Default MERCURY """Z"""

    Question: Will a 1981 Mercury Z fit my 1983 Ford Fairmont Futura? I found a really nice ""Z"" in a nearby junkyard and it has a perfect hood on it, so I am looking to swap it out..

    Thanks in advance,Mike

    You need the pedestal part of the hood ornament as well as the ornament itself, but the hole in the hood is the same. Assuming that's what you're referring to...the rest of the emblems are just sticky-taped on.

    I think he's asking if the hoods will swap and they most definitely will. All Fairmont/Zephyr hoods are interchangeable, regardless of year or model. As for the hood ornament I'm pretty sure the later models didn't have hood ornaments.

    The Fairmont "f" will swap over.

    The hood ornaments were an option '78-'83. In the earlier years it was pretty hard to get a trim package without it, but in '82 and '83 it was only for the "fancier" packages.
