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.

Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says

Fri, Jun 5 2015

The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.

2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).

Are you Ford's next Bullitt Mustang? [w/poll]

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Ford has a long history of offering special editions of its legendary Mustang. One of the most vaunted of those trim packages, though, has only been offered twice. The first time was in 2001, and then again in 2008. Yes, we're talking about the Bullitt.
Named for the infamous Dark Highland Green Mustang Fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 cop melodrama Bullitt, the car was famous for not just its pilot, but the high-speed chase it took part in during the movie. Now, we think we have images of the next Bullitt.
According to our spy photographers, the paint is a "dead-ringer" for the Dark Highland Green that has signified these special edition Mustangs. While we're inclined to agree, it's also worth pointing out that this shade looks very similar to one of the 2015's other new colors, Guard. We've yet to see one on the road (let alone in such dreary conditions), so it's tough to say for certain.
