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. |

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.
Ford expands door-latch recall to 156k more vehicles, nearly 550k total
Fri, May 1 2015Ford is being inundated with recalls as of late. Just days ago it called in over 590,000 cars for a variety of issues. Now, the Blue Oval has announced an expansion of its door latch campaign to cover an additional 156,000 vehicles in North America. Counting the original 389,585 cars, this has brought the total to 545,906. Under this expansion, the same models are affected, but Ford is broadening the coverage dates in some cases. The recall covers the 2011-2014 Fiesta, 2013-2014 Fusion, and 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ; there are 456,440 units in the US, 50,681 in Canada, and 38,785 in Mexico in need of repair. In these vehicles, a door might not latch because of a broken pawl spring tab. Even if a passenger can successfully close it, the faulty part could unlatch while driving. According to Ford, there are two allegations of doors bounding back and hitting a person. There's also one possible accident from a door opening and striking another vehicle. Dealers will replace all of the latches to fix the problem. Related Video: MAY 1, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD EXPANDS DOOR LATCH SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., May 1, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is expanding a safety recall regarding door latches to include approximately 156,000 more vehicles at the request of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, bringing the total to 545,906 vehicles in North America. The door latch in certain vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is a potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is aware of a total two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck the adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space. Affected vehicles include certain 2011-14 Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlan Assembly Plant, Nov. 3, 2009 to May 31, 2013; certain 2013-14 Fusion vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Feb. 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013; certain 2014 Fusion vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, April 12, 2013 to April 26, 2013; and certain 2013-14 Lincoln MKZ vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Feb. 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. There are 456,440 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 50,681 in Canada and 38,785 in Mexico.
'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
