i think i made the deal of a century......

[MONSOON]

Nice score. Cant wait to see some pics of it.

[25Horseplay]

Nice car, can't believe the great deal you got!!!

[watergate528]

Excellent find!
Identical to the one I have on blocks.
Think I would of given him the whole pack of smokes.
Sometimes ya just get lucky..right place/right time.

the bad....
no tilt wheel--I'm sure your missing all one inch of tilt.
no rear seat-- most people take them out to save on gas mileage. If you need one,
let me know, I have 8 of them i'll sell you real cheap.
needs rear wheel cylinders-- easy cheap fix
needs speedo cable-- post a FS/W on here, somebody has an extra
e brake linkage frozen--- When you are doing your brake cylinders, Take the e-brake mechanism, attach vice grips to one side, torch the crap out of it, spray PBBlaster on it, retorch, spray, hammer it on the ground back and forth until it loosens up, apply anti-seize between the 2 pieces of metal and reassemble.
exhaust leak at flex pipe-- easy fix!

To be honest, I don't see anything bad,,,,especially for 50 bucks and a few smokes. If it's too much for you to handle, I'll give you your 50 bucks back and a carton of reds.

sry i was having trouble resizing them or i would have posted reg pics

now that i see how clean this thing really is i should stop by with a few packs for him...

the thing that makes me feel real bad is he gave me the # to a friend of his who has 3 festys 2 running that would sell them for cheep just to get rid of them.

if i kept my 2 88's this 91 and those 3 i have to call about i could start my own festy farm...

Someone call the cops !

[bravekozak]

cream coloured

JumboShrimp, just ask around and you'll probably get one. I saw a cream coloured Festiva going south on Birchmount in Toronto yesterday. No rust!

I heard about a guy turning in a Festiva with only 7000 km, garage hidden, back to a Toronto Ford dealership for a trade in on a new car. He hardly got anything for it.

I almost got a red one with a spoiler from around the corner, but they moved before the deal was finalised.

I saw a nice one with low mileage go within one day in St. Catherines on Auto Trader.

Keep looking.
