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.

Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.

2015 Shelby GT bows in Scottsdale with 627 supercharged ponies

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Between the base V6, the EcoBoost turbo four, the eight-cylinder GT, the monstrous GT350 and the new GT350R (to say nothing of transmission and convertible options), muscle-car enthusiasts have a staggering array of Mustangs to choose from. And now there's one more as Shelby American has introduced the new 2015 Shelby GT. Building off the success of the 2007 Shelby GT and the 2013 follow-up, the new 2015 model was just introduced at the Ford booth at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, AZ. It's based on the latest Mustang GT (whether factory fresh or commissioned from an owner's existing pony car) but upgrades with an enviable list of enhancements from Ford Racing Performance Parts, Shelby's own upgrades and top-shelf third-party components. For starters, the engine is supercharged up to 627 horsepower (with over 700 available through further upgrades). It's got 3.73 gears, a Borla exhaust, WELD Racing wheels, Michelin tires and Wilwood six-piston front brakes. Visual enhancements include a carbon-fiber body-kit (including a two-piece rear diffuser) and billet aluminum front grilles. Designed from the get-go to be sold around the world, the 2015 Shelby GT is certified for use in all 50 states and comes with a Shelby American CSM number registered in the company's registry, but all those enhancements don't come cheap: Shelby's charging $39,995 for the new GT, and that's just for the modifications. Add that to the $32k sticker on a Mustang GT donor and you're looking at over $70k – which is not only more than Ford itself is expected to charge for its own GT350, but more than Dodge gets for a Challenger Hellcat.

Shelby is now taking orders with delivery of cars planned for the beginning of the second quarter of 2015.
