  • New Year, New Toy

    First day of the new year, what a good day to bring home a new Festiva. :headbang:
    Would like to give a huge thanks to Rob (Biglay5150) for turning this one over to me. He had "dibs" on it .

    Called the owner, set up a time to go and take a look.
    1988 Festiva LX. rear defroster, intermittent wipers, electric side mirrors, 5 spd, console, tach cluster, split rear seat, rear cargo light.
    I had to install a distributor in it, fired right up, drove to a station and aired the tires up, hit the highway and drove it 40 miles home with no issues.

    It was a hard deal, the buyer stood firm on his price. I caved and coughed up $250 and he passed me a title.

                      Well no under seat tray.

                      I did look in the glovebox and found ALL the original owners manuals etc...in the original folders.
