78 Fairmont 4 door sedan

[uglybox]

Going to have to dig around and see what the rear axle/ratio is, and the transmission, but I'm happy to have it!

Looks like I'm going to have to read up on the picture orientation thread.

After reading pages of threads, it looks like it has a 2.73 rear, and a C4 transmission.
I will get the buck tags come Monday, and find a computer so I can add pictures to my posts.

Ax - B = 2.47:1

Ok. I closed one eye and it does look like a B instead of an 8. Thank you, sir.
Just think of all the gas mileage I'll get, ha-ha!

I think code "VW" is vent windows and code "BLUDR" is the interior color (BLU = Wedgewood Blue) and seat type (DR = ?) but I'm not certain.

[uglybox]

It does have the vent windows, ac, am/fm stereo, and rear window defrost.
I don't know if those are some of the mystery codes or not.
I plan on getting a Marti report soon, because I wonder how many came like mine.
