1980 Ford Fiesta Modified Off Road Hot Rod on 2040-cars
Cartersville, Georgia, United States
|
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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW tests AdBlue pumps, Drivr is a Tesla taxi service
Thu, Jan 22 2015BMW is testing AdBlue pumps in Germany. AdBlue fluid is used to remove NOx from diesel exhaust, and it is stored in its own tank within the vehicle. Filling AdBlue is easy enough for drivers to do it themselves, and with the proliferation of diesel vehicles in Europe, a pump filling system could make more sense than using the current hand-held containers. BMW is testing AdBlue pumps at three fueling stations in Munich and Berlin to help develop further AdBlue dispenser technology. Read more at Green Car Congress. Drivr Green Personal Transportation is a Tesla taxi service in Cincinnati. Two former employees of Tesla Motors founded the startup, which bills itself alongside ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Customers book a ride online, and are picked up by a Tesla Model S. The ride costs $2.50 per mile with a $15 minimum. Drivr currently operates three cars with seven drivers, with plans to lease another 10 Teslas and employ up to 30 drivers. The service will also be expanding to Denver soon, according to the website. Learn more at the Drivr website, or read more at Clean Technica. Ford is opening a research and development facility in Silicon Valley. The Ford Research & Innovation Center, which will be located less than three miles from Tesla Motors headquarters in Palo Alto, California, is expected to be one of the automotive industry's largest R&D facilities. "We're driving to be both a product and a mobility company, and ultimately to change the way the world moves," says Ford CEO Mark Fields. Read more at Automotive News. Law firms advising Fisker Automotive have been denied a $2.50-million fee enhancement in the car company's bankruptcy. Brown Rudnick LLP and Saul Ewing LLP were denied the extra fees, as a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled there is "no evidence" that the firms provided anything more than what they originally expected. In denying the fee enhancement, the judge cited a "very high bar" for such awards. Read more at Law360.
