This is a 1978 Ford Fiesta MkI, made in Germany and imported into the USA for three model years, 1978-1980. It is in great driving condition. It looks great and is ready to be driven home.

This was originally a Southern California car and is rust free, except for a small amount of surface rust around the right rear window. The yellow paint is bright and shiny with only a few very minor blemishes. Underneath the car looks great and there are no signs of accident damage or repair.

The interior is in great condition. The seat upholstery pictured is not original, however, these are merely professionally installed seat covers - done by the original owner many years ago. The original black/white houndstooth upholstery is underneath. I cannot attest to the condition of the upholstery - except to confirm that the original seat upholstery exists beneath the aftermarket covers. The door panels, headliner and dash are all original and in very nice condition. The car has a radio and is wired for speakers, but there are none installed. The speaker wiring is there and already run into the back of the car (seen in the pictures of the rear cargo area). The heater works well and the two speed fan works as expected; it is missing a knob on one of the controls, but a replacement one will be included with the car. The wheels and tires are in very good condition, with approximately 3000 miles on them.

Mechanically, the engine was rebuilt 30,000 miles ago. The car itself has just over 128,000 miles. It starts right up and drives very well and has good power and fuel economy. The brakes were recently redone, new all around - calipers, rotors, drums and pads - new master brake cylinder. Also done were fresh wheel bearings and front end alignment. The car tracks well and stops straight and true. The front struts are KYB GR2 and nearly new.

You will be hard pressed to find another Fiesta in this great condition. I had been looking for a long time when this one came along and have not seen one since. I had originally planned to turn this one into a street racer, but it is way too nice to start tearing it apart, so I am passing it along to the next person to look after.

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history

Sat, 03 May 2014

You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.
