This was originally a 6 cylinder carby Fairmont Ghia ESP, but has been converted to V8. We are not 100% sure that this is an ESP, particularly considering the interior is not correct, however, most other parts of the car check out - importantly the model code confirms it is a Fairmont Ghia.

The car was found for sale in late 2016, asking $25,000 at the time, with the seller making the following comments:
