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 reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.
Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age
Thu, 17 Jul 2014In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
