So what exactly is the thread about?
Its an 83 model car yet your asking the difference between 93 an 2014. Im either misinterpreting what your after or the question is inaccurate |

This is a confusing thread.
..and a confusing car. Clearly not a fairmont? Is this what the OP is pointing out? Dealer trying to polish a **** so to speak?

After reading the thread again, I fail to see what relevance it has to the car advertised.
