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.

2019 Chicago Auto Show photo gallery: All of the grilles

Fri, Feb 8 2019

Do you like trucks? How about grilles? Like really big, shiny, chromey, in-your-face, could-be-made-by-Broil-King grilles? Well, the Chicago Auto Show is the place to be. Traditionally known as the truck show of the annual auto show circuit (at least those covered by national media), Chicago has what seems like a small national park's worth of acreage devoted to both consumer and commercial trucks. From humble extended cab Ford Rangers to a mammoth F-650 with cherry picker sprouting from its aft quarters, there's bound to be a truck for everything. And they all have grilles. So above is our gallery devoted to them, because hell, why not? Should you want to know about the trucks attached to those grilles, check out our coverage below.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award

Wed, Oct 12 2016

Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.
