I struck gold...

I drove out today to talk to a man about a festiva, he said he had a few sitting around. I got there and saw 5 car with weeds growing halfway up uthe sides of all of 'em. 4 were FI 1 was carbed, I think all but one was manual. 3 were victims of front end collisions, all had bady damage of one sort or another. All the tires were shot. I was checking out miles when I got very distracted. A little 89 FI had a full sport interior. Adjustable head rest striped seats and panels SPLIT rear seat, power mirrors (driver glass busted on the mirror) and just as I was geeking on that one I looked across the way and saw a Sunroof, factory ford with the logo.That one had a factory tape deck. I did not get a chance to talk to the man today, but I am going to call him soon and try to get all the goodies.

P.S. No flaps or spoilers to be seen but 2 had rear wipers.

That 89 FI will also have the underseat tray. See it any of them have a hitch.

What about miles?

Low miles on the one I looked at and the tray was gone.

if you buy them i and sell them for parts i call dibs on the rear wipers if the price isn't to high...

[KingFish]

Ypu guys tell me what you want and I'll try to get them. Don't think Fresh would be interested in any of the whole cars, they were in pretty rough shape.

[freshtiva]

Fresh is alway interested. Sunroof, sport interior, split rear seat, etc, right up my alley.

[gothguydante]

yes fresh wants them all he's bogarding them i tell you.. but yes split rear seat sounds nice..

[freshtiva]

Im not bogarting them. I wish more people would buy up the festivas and fix them up while they are still around. Thats my mission. Im going to find and fix as many as I can. Please help !!! Seems everyone want to modify one to the point where it becomes too difficult to do, and then they give up on it. No one is interested in restoring one back to their original simple design. Have to over kill it. I dont need anymore, why doesnt someone else start buying them and fixing them ? Ive got my hands full, but I wont see one waste away or go to the scrapper if I can help it. Put the time, money, and effort into it like I do, then you can be a bogarter too.

[MONSOON]

Its a noble cause and I applaud you for it fresh! If I had the money Id be doing the same thing.

i have my eye on two, but don't have the room (aka: no ranch) to store them while i fix um up.

[25Horseplay]

I've been looking for a factory sunroof for a long time.
