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.

2015 Ford F-150 to get 2.7-liter EcoBoost?

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

As we prepare for the arrival of the all-new, next-generation Ford F-150, rumors about the new truck are picking up steam. Naturally, many of said rumors aren't just related to the way the truck will look (it's expected to take design cues from the Atlas concept shown above), they're tied to what's going to motivate the Blue Oval mainstay, with Ford's EcoBoost range likely to play an increasingly key role. While we're still expecting the current 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 to retain its position as a premium alternative to Ford's naturally aspirated V6 and V8, a Canadian automotive news site is proposing that the Dearborn automaker is also preparing a new, more fuel-efficient downsized EcoBoost option.
Autos.ca is reporting that a new, 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 could find its way into the lighter, aluminum-intensive truck. The new engine supposedly makes use of asymmetrical turbos to generate 320 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque - substantially more impressive numbers than the current 3.7-liter base engine's 302 ponies and 278 lb-ft - while offering improved fuel economy and emissions. The new 2.7 EcoBoost (internally dubbed "Nano") isn't expected to supplant the naturally aspirated V6 as the F-150's base engine, it's expected to slot in above directly it.
Naturally, we're prescribing more than a few grains of salt to go with these rumors, at least until Ford debuts the next F-150 at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, a reveal we'll be covering in a mere two weeks.
