1988 Turbo Coupe Project Car on 2040-cars
Woodstock, Georgia, United States
|
Diamond in the rough. Just over 69K original miles. Engine runs great. Everything worked the last time that the car was driven except for the adjustable ride option. I got the car from the father of the original owner about 5 years after the owned passed away. It was sitting in the weather full of junk on 4 flat tires and would not run. Over the next couple of years the car received a new gas tank, fuel pump, radiator, cooling fan, brakes, complete exhaust system, belts and hoses, front and rear transmission seals and rear main seal, plugs and wires, rebuilt distributor...and the list goes on and on. Turbo works great and will go to 15lbs boost with no problem. Tires are like new Goodyears. Driver's seat has been reupholstered and the head liner replaced. Body is straight with no dents and no rust. Paint has some scratches on the trunk lid, most everything else should buff out OK. Wheels are the original 16" TC wheels. Car has been garaged since 2009 with transmission problems. I am on a fixed income and can not afford to continue the restoration on this great vehicle. Problem with the transmission is that it will not go into drive. Takes reverse just fine. It never slipped or hesitated just quit taking drive...matter of fact the shift was so positive at full throttle it would pretty much knock the fillings in your teeth loose. Talked to a transmission shop and their prognosis was that it is probably seals since the car sat up for so long before I got it...problem being they won't touch it without doing a complete rebuild because they have to warranty the work. This car was a real kick to drive and I hate to see it go...but better someone get it that will do something with it than see it rot in the garage. Car must be picked up with a trailer or dolly as it is not driveable. Transmission will not go into drive.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost to hit 45 mpg for $16,445*
Mon, 28 Oct 2013When Ford first announced its plan to put the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Fiesta, it promised hybrid-like fuel economy without a hybrid-like premium. We're still waiting for official specs on this engine, but thanks to the EPA's fueleconomy.gov website and Ford's retail site, we now know what customers can expect in terms of both fuel economy and price.
All along, Ford has said that it expects the 1.0-liter EcoBoost to get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and now the EPA backs this up with official ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These numbers are an increase of two mpg city and four mpg hwy compared to the current fuel-sipping Fiesta (the 1.6 SFE), and it also beats other three-cylinder cars for highway mileage like the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (44 mpg highway) and 2014 Smart Fortwo (38 mpg highway); the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost is lower than both three-pot rivals, though, in city fuel economy with the Mitsubishi getting 37 mpg city and the Smart rated at 34 mpg city. This model handily beats high-volume small cars like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Chevy Spark in both city and highway numbers.
As for pricing, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered on both the sedan and hatchback as a $995 option called the SE Manual EcoBoost package, which is aptly named since it's only offered on SE trim-level Fiestas equipped with a manual transmission. Along with the engine, the package also comes with 15-inch steel wheels, regenerative brakes and a decklid spoiler on the sedan. This means the four-door Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost will start at $16,445*, or $17,045* for the hatchback (*not including $795 for destination).

Kawei K1 pickup blatantly copies Ford F-150
Thu, Apr 24 2014The Chinese auto industry used to be looked at as a joke full of products blatantly copied from foreign vehicles. However, companies like Qoros and others show that the country's automakers have taken big steps in terms of original design. It doesn't look like every automaker there is ready to put down the tracing paper yet, though. Case in point: The Kawei K1 pickup pictured above, which is an obvious rip-off of the Ford F-150. In fact, the company isn't even hiding it. Kawei deserves a little credit for its openness. In describing the new model, it says: "No matter the black net grille and the outline of the headlamp, even if the styles of fog lamp and engine cover, it looks the same as Ford Raptor." It also admits that spelling out the model name on the hood is inspired by Land Rover. It's available with either a 2.4-liter, gasoline-fueled four-cylinder producing 141 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque (elsewhere it also lists it as having 162 lb-ft) or a 3.2-liter six-cylinder diesel with 106 hp and 181 lb-ft. Regardless of engine, power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. The trucks cost around 100,000 Yuan ($16,033). So at least the K1 is a reasonably priced knockoff. According to Car News China, the K1 is actually selling in small numbers. The company made 10,000 of them last year and even exported some to Africa and the Middle East. Kawei's factory is doubling in capacity this year to build even more. You can read more about the truck on the company's website in some very mangled English.
