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. |

2016 Ford Focus RS shows up in Geneva, still bound for America [w/video]
Tue, Mar 3 2015Representing the super-hot hatchback movement at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, we have the 2015 Ford Focus RS, the third-generation to wear the performance-focused designation. Bound for America for the first time, it's fair to say we're darn excited for the Focus RS and its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. With at least 315 horsepower under the hood and the long-awaited inclusion of an all-wheel-drive system, there's little arguing that the RS will be seriously quick off the line. It should be darn good through the bends, too. The all-wheel-drive system packs a Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control system that sends up to 70 percent of the power to the rear axle. On top of the AWD's torque vectoring ability, the Focus RS adds a brake-based torque vectoring system, which transfers power laterally, as needed. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires should only help keep the RS glued to the tarmac. A three-pedal setup is the sole transmission option, which should delight purists. According to Ford, both the clutch and the trans itself have been bolstered to handle the 2.3-liter's power. Ford also comprehensively upgraded the looks of the Focus RS relative to the lesser Focus ST. Its enormous rear wing and the back bumper's rear diffuser complement the car's menacing face. The ST's center-exit exhaust has been ditched for a meaty set of pipes, while the car on display in Geneva shows off a different set of alloys than what we saw during the car's original debut. Check out our full gallery of live photos of this hot Ford, available up top. And be sure to check out our Short Cut of the new hot hatch by scrolling down.

Second-tier UAW workers promoted for first time after Ford hits quota
Mon, Feb 2 2015The United Auto Workers put out a statement on Friday that 55 Ford workers chosen by seniority would be moved from the Tier 2, entry-level pay rate of around $19 per hour to the Tier 1, non-entry-level rate of about $28 per hour. One of the stipulations in the 2011 UAW-Ford agreement was that only 20-percent of the total hourly workforce could be paid the Tier 2 wages agreed upon in 2007; after that, those workers had to be moved to Tier 1. Even so, the new Tier 1 status makes them less expensive to Ford than veteran Tier 1 workers because they receive fewer benefits. However, Automotive News had reported that same day that Ford was 69 workers shy of the limit, and when AN asked Ford about the situation Ford said it had "some room" on the entry-level roster. If workers do move to the higher pay grade, it will be the first time that's happened since the two-tier system was agreed. But it sounds like there's going to be some haggling between the UAW and Ford before that happens. Ford is the only one of the Detroit 3 automakers to have to work with a cap, since it didn't go through bankruptcy proceedings during The Great Recession; General Motors and Chrysler jettisoned the cap in 2009. GM is said to have 16 percent of its hourly workers at Tier 2 while Chrysler has 42 percent, but Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has long been opposed to the two-wage system. The UAW is preparing for its 2015 negotiations with the US automakers. It wants to eliminate the difference in pay by going to the higher scale, if there is a consensus among automakers it seems to be that they also want a single wage, but less than the higher scale, with the addition of profit-based bonuses. The recent statement from the labor union is below. UAW President Dennis Williams and UAW-Ford Vice President Jimmy Settles announced today that the union is delivering on its promise to convert workers DETROIT, Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UAW President Dennis Williams and UAW-Ford Vice President Jimmy Settles announced today that the union is delivering on its promise to convert workers making entry-level wages to traditional employees. "The 2011 UAW-Ford agreement allows for a contractual limit of entry-level employees. Once that threshold is surpassed, entry-level employees convert by seniority to 'regular, non-entry level employment.' At this time, fifty-five UAW-Ford workers will receive the wage increases, which put them in the category of non entry-level employment.
Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest
Tue, Jun 16 2015There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black
