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.

2016 Ford Taurus to ride atop reworked Fusion platform
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."
Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014
Mon, Dec 22 2014With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.
