This is a 1980 base model Ford Fiesta MK1. It's small, and a cool little European car. First generation and only imported for a couple of years. Manufactured in Germany but has the larger 1.6L motor compared to the 1.1 and 1.3 found in many Fiestas and Festivas. Averages about 40 mpg I'd guess. It is a 4 speed transmission, and a very basic car. No power steering or power brakes. But almost all brake components have been replaced. New components: brake master cylinder, hoses, wheel cylinders, calipers, drums, self adjust arms and cams, E-brake cables, rear hatch struts, fuel pump, plugs, plug wires The car is very cold-natured. The choke mechanism has been removed but I will include a very nice correct replacement Italian Weber carb to the buyer. I also have 3 or 4 different repair manuals to go with the car. All lights, signals, and horn work. It is currently inspected, registered, tagged, and driven in NC. I have a clear NC title. The car has usual rust issues, one spot on the rear quarter where rear screen washer tank leaked. Also rust along front lower lip below bumper, and some around the passenger side bumper mount. Floor pans have some weak areas, mostly due to a leaky passenger side window seal allowing water in during hard rains.Car cranks up, runs, drives, and stops fine. I drove it for months every day at highway speeds around 60-70mph, but will go 80 without a problem. Carb is showing age though and should probably be swapped with the replacement I am providing. Shifts fine. Main issue for me is the muffler. It is straight piped with a cherry bomb. Not only is it too loud but is run too close to the front frame rail and sometimes vibrates against it making unneccessary noise. These cars are kind of rare here in the U.S. and I'd say it's at least worth my asking price considering it is currently in driver condition and not rotted or gutted out like many I see for sale.
speedo states 31360 but has turned over at least once, probably not twice though given the engine condition. If you are close enough to come look at it or just have general questions, feel free to call at 336-648-1487, or use the ebay message option. If you call and I don't answer , I am likely at work which is generally from 2:30pm-1am. Just leave a message and I will call back. Edit: While driving around tonight, about 10 minutes ago to get gas and stop by the store, the bulb that lights the speedometer went out. The other dash lights including the fuel gauge/temp light still work, so I am assuming it is just the bulb. But wanted to mention it. |

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost to hit 45 mpg for $16,445*
Mon, 28 Oct 2013When Ford first announced its plan to put the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Fiesta, it promised hybrid-like fuel economy without a hybrid-like premium. We're still waiting for official specs on this engine, but thanks to the EPA's fueleconomy.gov website and Ford's retail site, we now know what customers can expect in terms of both fuel economy and price.
All along, Ford has said that it expects the 1.0-liter EcoBoost to get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and now the EPA backs this up with official ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These numbers are an increase of two mpg city and four mpg hwy compared to the current fuel-sipping Fiesta (the 1.6 SFE), and it also beats other three-cylinder cars for highway mileage like the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (44 mpg highway) and 2014 Smart Fortwo (38 mpg highway); the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost is lower than both three-pot rivals, though, in city fuel economy with the Mitsubishi getting 37 mpg city and the Smart rated at 34 mpg city. This model handily beats high-volume small cars like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Chevy Spark in both city and highway numbers.
As for pricing, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered on both the sedan and hatchback as a $995 option called the SE Manual EcoBoost package, which is aptly named since it's only offered on SE trim-level Fiestas equipped with a manual transmission. Along with the engine, the package also comes with 15-inch steel wheels, regenerative brakes and a decklid spoiler on the sedan. This means the four-door Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost will start at $16,445*, or $17,045* for the hatchback (*not including $795 for destination).

Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.
