This 1800 pound car was born in Germany in 1980 with a 1600 cc Ford tractor engine and four speed transaxle. Ford only imported them in 1978, 79 and 80. It now sports an 1800cc DOHC Mercury Tracer engine and five speed transaxle. The engine is modified with a Ford duraspark distributor, MSD ignition, two barrel carbureator mounted on a custom hi RPM ram intake, electric fuel pump and a heat wrapped modified Miata header with a single glass pack muffler. The radiator is a custom made three row with electric fan. Instruments are Autometer, tach is a Sun. The wheels are 13 x 6 Panasport Rallys with new radial tires. Shocks are new, springs are cut one coil, strut rods have poly bushings with lowered brackets for anti dive (rally car trick). Brakes are new all around. The battery, spare tire and jack are mounted in the trunk. A Ford Focus rear sway bar is custom mounted. The roll bar is not race legal, it has RCI competition belts on the drivers side and regular seatbelt on the passenger side. It has the original paint with great patina, designed to look like an old race car that someone peeled the stickers off and put on the street. The body is solid and has very little rust which has only been primered to keep the old race car look. It has no computer and no emissions.

On the down side the engine and transaxle are solid mounted in a modified front subframe which transfers the engine vibrations to the chassis. This will keep it from being a daily driver but some rubber motor mounts could be fabricated. You will need to provide a battery, otherwise it is ready to go. The performance of this Fiesta is awesome. It is fast and handles super. It corners flat and does not dive under hard braking. It does have a little torque steer under hard accelleraton. It looks great at cruise nights and with some more dialing in would make a great weekend play toy. It has not been raced, we have done the hard part now it just needs to be driven and sorted. My son is building a BMW and I have a Saleen Speedster in the works so the little Fiesta must go to a new home. It comes with a custom fitted tow bar and is sold with a bill of sale and last Georgia registration (yes it is street legal). See the video at you tube: http://youtu.be/XcJZ3DrM6QY I am starting the bidding at the price of the wheels, tires and radiator with no reserve. You may call me at 678 986 1656 if you have any questions. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is also advertised locally.

Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.

1969 Ford GT40 Mk III found roaming the halls in Geneva

Wed, Mar 4 2015

The halls of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show are filled with all manner of exotic racing machinery, from the likes Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to McLaren. But there's one peculiar bit of history tucked away that we thought you'd be equally interested to see: a 1969 Ford GT40 Mk III. One of only seven known to be built, this Mk III coupe was intended as a road-going alternative to earlier racing-bred GT40 models, like the original Mk I and 427-cubic-inch, Le Mans-dominating Mk II. Due to its street-legal intentions, the Ford GT40 Mk III boasted revised bodywork that allowed for some luggage and new headlights, along with a redesigned interior with left-hand-drive and a shifter in the normal, center position. The Mk III wasn't very popular when it was new in the 1960s, in part because it looked different from other GT40 models and because it was pretty expensive, but that just means it's an awfully rare gem today. Take a look at the piece of history in our high-res image gallery above.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
