1981 Ford Durango: Best Worst OPC Ever?

After production ended for the beloved Ranchero in 1979, Ford still needed something to compete against GM's El Camino. Solution? Send some Fairmont Futura coupes to be rebodied as pickups by the National Coach Corporation. Power came from the 200-ci "Thriftpower" six with 3-speed auto. Ford kept no records, but production is estimated at about 200 examples. And here is one of them.

I've never seen this one drive, but I've seen it parked at different points along the curb, so I know that it moves. Notice the Fairlane taillights integrated into the tailgate!

So what do you think?

What the? 1983 Fairmont MT-19 Speeder.

And my life would never be the same.

I love the total disregard for alliteration with that strange hood ornament (a reference to it's beloved twin).
