Seller keeps saying it's a 1976 Ford Mont and I, nor google are pulling anything up. It looks like a Fox body ranchero . But I really want it.... I'll see if I can get more pics

Link wont work for me but there was a durango built from the fairmont. It was an aftermarket conversion but its a foxbody based ute.
Looks like dropstep called it.
Hey, I actually hotlinked from my phone! Thanks RevRico!
I'm gonna be dangerous now!
It's like a new found super power!
Ok guys, it looks like you called it. I re hosted all images to Imgur and I still cannot get them to post on this forum
And seller claims this one has a V8 in already , she is asking 4 grand and it's not in good shape. What's a reasonable offer?
If its a v8 swap and not rusty they seem to go 3500+. the rarity of the conversion combined with the fox chassis makes them weirdly desirable.
Foxes in general are going up, ive been shopping for a v8 donor for a while.
Use $4k as the starting price then subtract for rusty floors, bad carb., bad paint, ruined interior, etc. Don't be in a rush. Make your low offer and let the silence work for you, after you make an offer the first person to speak loses. Good luck!
Edit original post with pics, car is a V8 swap btw. Thanks all for the help, what a odd car to pop up locally
Make sure you check the torque boxes and both front strut towers really well. Try to find out what year the engine is, if its a lesser desirable smog era version you may be able to save a few bucks. The better blocks are the roller stuff used 89+.
Rear axle is likely still a 7.5, limited parts availability if you plan ti use the vehicle for any kind of motorsport.
It may be the angle, but the back of the "cab" doesn't look quite like a Durango. It looks almost like someone started with a 4-door.

Agree. Picture of a real one at All-Ford Nationals in 1999
Easy way to tell: Look for this sticker inside the door. It is there because you can't see the rear light from behind when the tail gate is down
I think it's just the camera angle making it look weird.
There is no way that is a 4K car. I just saw a perfect elcamino with some nice upgrades sell on mecum auction for 8k. To me that is a 2k car at best and it would have to be rust free at that number.

They made a E36 M3load more el caminos then these. Foxbodys have a cult following.
Here's a nice looking one in Cali for under $4k.

Based on some quick calculations and this approach she should pay someone about 4k to take it. That my be accurate.
seller is being very skectchy about me actually looking at the car and has said at least 5 times about how the only other car like this in the country is in a junkyard in California.... insists its a Ford MONT , I seriously can't with this woman. If anyone else in interested I will PM you her FB profile
There are other options of the non-Fox body type.

I don't hate that Charger nearly as much as I think I should.
