1988 Ford Festiva on 2040-cars
Perry, Georgia, United States
Fuel Type:Gasoline
For Sale By:Private Seller
Warranty: Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty
Make: Ford
Model: Fiesta
Mileage: 205,612
Here for sale is a 1988 Ford Festiva base model. This was one of the earliest Festivas imported into the U.S. in the 80s. As you can see by the sticker in the door frame, it was actually built in June of 1987. This car is basic transportation. It has the original 1.3 liter 4 cylinder. And since it was a base model it was a carbureted engine with a manual four speed transmission.
This odometer reads just over 205K miles,which I assume to be correct. The car puffs a little smoke on start up. This goes away after it runs for a while. That is to be expected on a car with this mileage. It has a rust spot just in front of the driver side tail light. It should be fairly easy to repair. The grey carpet is loose at the top corners near the dash on both sides. And as can be seen in the pictures, the front bumper cover is busted. However, we have several Festiva parts cars as well as a container of extra parts. So I can PROBABLY provide the buyer with another bumper cover for free or at least very reasonably. Aside from that I don't know of any other problems with this car.
The previous owner installed new tune up parts just prior to selling it to us. As in,spark plugs,wires,cap and rotor. He also installed a new set of 12" tires all the way around. There is a Blaukpunkt AM/FM/CD player mounted in the dash,but right now I have misplaced the faceplate. Still searching for it. The passenger side rear window is currently covered with vinyl which peels off easily. Window is not damaged.
Anyone that has owned one of these cars either still owns one or wants another one. They are cheep to drive and maintain. They are also easy to work on. And they are NOT getting any easier to find. Feel free to call or text me at 478 733 2873 for more pics or details. Thanks for looking.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition says 'happy birthday' in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Fifty years ago this week, Ford debuted the first-ever Mustang at the New York World's Fair. And to celebrate, the Blue Oval is offering up this special, 50th Anniversary Edition 2015 Mustang, which makes its debut at the New York Auto Show. It'll be a seriously limited affair, with only 1,964 examples of the special edition Mustang slated to be produced (the number chosen to coincide with the 'Stang's first year in production). But for those who raise their hands for the 50th Anniversary package, there's a pretty sweet package in store.
The 50th Anniversary Edition is based on the 2015 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack, and is only available in two colors: Kona Blue, or Wimbledon White (pictured). The car also comes fully loaded - the only option for buyers to choose is the transmission. Should you opt for the six-speed automatic, you'll get a limited-slip rear differential with a 3.55:1 final-drive ratio (the 50th Anniversary car is also the only way to get a slushbox-equipped 'Stang with the Performance Pack). Selecting the six-speed manual 'box will net you a Torsen differential with a 3.73:1 ratio. All 50th Anniversary cars will be powered by Ford's 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8, estimated to produce more than 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque in the 2015 Mustang.
Inside, there's a cashmere-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel, with a similar detail found on the instrument panel, shift boot, door inserts, seats, and center armrest. Two-tone leather/black upholstery is also part of the 50th Anniversary package, and of course, there's a special logo on the seats.
