    ZKFairlane got a reaction from deankxf in 1971 Ford Fairmont Station Wagon   
    That is one very stock and unmolested XY Fairmont Wagon with some rare options; Teal Glow in colour, 8 track.  It would go for stupid money locally...
    Y engine in an XY is a 302 2 barrel Windsor (noting that the bottom radiator hose is on the passenger side, which some will say makes it a Cleveland, but it's a Windsor...).  So that motor is correct for that car.  If it is matching numbers, even better.  The engine number on these is the same as the VIN number; JG35LE72036K.  It will be stamped on the flat area on the block at the back of the manifold.  A pain to get to.
    All 302 XYs were Windsors.  There are rumors that the 1972 xy utes may have had clevelands, but I've never seen one.  The 302 Cleveland commenced in the XA.
    Trans "R" is auto column shift and Trim "B" is black.
    That's one very stock 302.  By the way the heater hoses are running, it looks like it still has the original two port carby heater on it.  I'd love to see a picture with the air filter off.
    I can't make it out in the pictures, but the top radiator tank would have "Fomoco" stamped on it if it was the original one.  Regardless, that radiator is an original type one.  Train spotters will note that the clamps are no original...
    Paint code 5 is Teal Glow.  Not very common.
    V8 Fairmont Wagons weren't very common either (they have unique chrome pieces around the rear door widows).
