1988 Ford Festiva on 2040-cars
Perry, Georgia, United States
Fuel Type:Gasoline
For Sale By:Private Seller
Warranty: Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty
Make: Ford
Model: Fiesta
Mileage: 205,612
Here for sale is a 1988 Ford Festiva base model. This was one of the earliest Festivas imported into the U.S. in the 80s. As you can see by the sticker in the door frame, it was actually built in June of 1987. This car is basic transportation. It has the original 1.3 liter 4 cylinder. And since it was a base model it was a carbureted engine with a manual four speed transmission.
This odometer reads just over 205K miles,which I assume to be correct. The car puffs a little smoke on start up. This goes away after it runs for a while. That is to be expected on a car with this mileage. It has a rust spot just in front of the driver side tail light. It should be fairly easy to repair. The grey carpet is loose at the top corners near the dash on both sides. And as can be seen in the pictures, the front bumper cover is busted. However, we have several Festiva parts cars as well as a container of extra parts. So I can PROBABLY provide the buyer with another bumper cover for free or at least very reasonably. Aside from that I don't know of any other problems with this car.
The previous owner installed new tune up parts just prior to selling it to us. As in,spark plugs,wires,cap and rotor. He also installed a new set of 12" tires all the way around. There is a Blaukpunkt AM/FM/CD player mounted in the dash,but right now I have misplaced the faceplate. Still searching for it. The passenger side rear window is currently covered with vinyl which peels off easily. Window is not damaged.
Anyone that has owned one of these cars either still owns one or wants another one. They are cheep to drive and maintain. They are also easy to work on. And they are NOT getting any easier to find. Feel free to call or text me at 478 733 2873 for more pics or details. Thanks for looking.

FBI Seizes Computers, Listening Devices From Ford Headquarters
Fri, Jul 25 2014FBI agents searched Ford Motor Company's headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, this month as part of an investigation into possible corporate espionage. Eight devices, along with documents, computers and financial records, were among the items seized by federal agents on July 11, according to documents obtained by The Detroit News. The FBI searched Leach's home on June 20 and seized more than two dozen items in that search, Reuters reported. Former engineer Sharon Leach, a 17-year Ford veteran of company, was fired last month, according to The News, which first reported the story. She admitted to placing recording devices under conference tables before meetings. She told Ford security she used the recordings to assist in her meeting notes. She couldn't remove the devices after meetings without drawing attention to herself, leaving the devices to record other meetings. Leach has not been charged for any wrongdoing. Former federal prosecutor and Wayne State University law professor Peter Henning told The News that using a search warrant, rather than a subpoena, shows the FBI suspects more employees could be implicated. "If it's an economic espionage case or trade-secrets case, that rarely involves one individual," Henning told The Detroit News. "So the concern is if you send a subpoena and ask for recording devices, those things can be erased." Leach, Ford and the FBI declined to comment on the investigation.

Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
