I think it is a fox body mustang or Capri. Looks like it could be a fairmont wheel. But keep in mind lots of vehicles shared that pattern. Saab for one. Def a 2.3. It's a damned mess. That's for sure.
Edit: the more I look at it the more I think it could be a Ford LTD. The lil ones.
| it's a Fairmont Futura/Zephyr Z7 coupe. the bumper bar is the giveaway... Mustang and Capris did not have the indent on their bars that this one does. The B-pillar is definitely of a coupe and if you look at the panel below the A-pillar, you'll find that on a Fairmont/Zephyr variant. What makes this NOT an 80-82 thunderbird is the engine... the T-bird of that vintage was equipped with the 3.3L (200cid) I-6, 3.8L/232cid V6, the 302(1980) or 4.2L/255 V8 (1981-1982). The 2.3L never made its way into the Bird until 1983 with the Turbocoupe. This is definitely a pre-83 2.3L judging by the coolant line running to the heater core on the rocker cover. Also, you can just make out a little of the door frame in the picture... granted it's mangled, but it does retain something of its shape and that to me say Fairmont Futura/Zephyr Z7 coupe. These had the racier 'fastback' styling that the frumpier sedans. One last thing is the upper strut mount where the top of the strut mounts to the body... that Fox-body all the way, but by the look of the cap/plate arrangement, it puts this car right around 1980-81. And the mystery of those wheels? They're off a mid-80's Ford Tempo/Mercury Topaz. Same bolt pattern , 4x100mm, and Ford had a goofy quirk where the offset of a FWD wheel would fit a RWD car and vice versa. welcome to automotive CSI. See what you think... here's the wiki for the car. See if you think it's the same car. http://en.wikipedi...wiki/Ford_Fairmont
