This is a 1978 Ford Fiesta MkI, made in Germany and imported into the USA for three model years, 1978-1980. It is in great driving condition. It looks great and is ready to be driven home.

This was originally a Southern California car and is rust free, except for a small amount of surface rust around the right rear window. The yellow paint is bright and shiny with only a few very minor blemishes. Underneath the car looks great and there are no signs of accident damage or repair.

The interior is in great condition. The seat upholstery pictured is not original, however, these are merely professionally installed seat covers - done by the original owner many years ago.  The original black/white houndstooth upholstery is underneath.  I cannot attest to the condition of the upholstery - except to confirm that the original seat upholstery exists beneath the aftermarket covers. The door panels, headliner and dash are all original and in very nice condition. The car has a radio and is wired for speakers, but there are none installed. The speaker wiring is there and already run into the back of the car (seen in the pictures of the rear cargo area). The heater works well and the two speed fan works as expected; it is missing a knob on one of the controls, but a replacement one will be included with the car. The wheels and tires are in very good condition, with approximately 3000 miles on them.

Mechanically, the engine was rebuilt 30,000 miles ago. The car itself has just over 128,000 miles. It starts right up and drives very well and has good power and fuel economy. The brakes were recently redone, new all around - calipers, rotors, drums and pads - new master brake cylinder. Also done were fresh wheel bearings and front end alignment. The car tracks well and stops straight and true. The front struts are KYB GR2 and nearly new.

You will be hard pressed to find another Fiesta in this great condition. I had been looking for a long time when this one came along and have not seen one since. I had originally planned to turn this one into a street racer, but it is way too nice to start tearing it apart, so I am passing it along to the next person to look after.

V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels.

2015 Ford F-150 pricing announced, aluminum-bodied truck up just $395

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

The eagerly anticipated Ford F-150 has had its 2015 pricing announced, adding only a small amount to the pickup's total cost, despite its weight-saving aluminum body. The XL and XLT entry level models only see a $395 boost over the heavier, current-generation, 2014 truck.
The XL starts at $26,615 while the XLT rings up at $31,890. The increase for Lariat is up a similarly negligible $895, to $39,880. Going up the ladder, meanwhile, the leather-intensive King Ranch sees the biggest jump of the F-150 family, with prices increasing $3,515, to $49,460. Finally, picking up the top-end Platinum trim will cost an extra $3,055, with prices starting at $52,155.
The higher prices are being blamed not only on the aluminum bodies, which trim up to 700 pounds of body fat, but on increased levels of standard equipment. While we were expecting a price hike, the fact that the 2015 F-150's volume trims - Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Reuters that the XL and XLT alone cover 70 percent of F-150 sales - have had less than a $400 increase is hugely impressive.

Ford S-Max Concept proves minivans aren't always minivans [w/video]

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Ford's latest don't-call-it-a-minivan is called the S-Max Concept, and it's a looker. As you can see, the conceptual overgrown hatch makes good use of Ford's latest design language, especially at the very front of the S-Max, which bears a striking resemblance to production models that include the Focus, C-Max and Fusion.
Powering the S-Max Concept is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine, and while Ford doesn't actually list power figures for the concept, previous estimates put the mill at 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet). Inside, there's room for seven passengers and at least some of their luggage.
As you'd expect, the S-Max is loaded up with all of Ford's latest infotainment technology, including Sync and MyFordTouch. More interestingly, there are also onboard heart and blood glucose monitors that we doubt will be seeing the light of production anytime soon. On that topic, don't expect to see any S-Max-shaped vehicles hitting the US market from Ford, either. Scroll down below for the press release, but not before checking out the high-res image gallery above.
