  • We may have a problem

    on ebay, i can find over 10 pages on parts for a 1964 galaxie but only 5 pages for 1989 festiva. we are clearly at a disadvantage with a car 20 years old compared to one 45 years old. im flabbergasted.
    it'll do the 1/8 in 13.7, spin tires, and make all my drunk buddies giggle.

    Strange, when I go to the Home page here and click on Festiva Ebay I see seven pages of festiva stuff!
    Not all of it '89 stuff, but enough to keep me happy!
    It rarely gets to more than about 13 pages.

            Well the Galaxy is a bit of a collector. Quite a few people restore these cars. I wouldn't consider it a worthy comparison. I like Festiva's more personally, but I don't see that, in particular, as the cause for concern. My opinion, anyhow.

              If you go all the way to the bitter end, which I did just for the heck of it, there are 15 pages of festivas, and festiva parts.

              And futurefesty, maybe there's not that many parts on there because they are all being hoarded by those guys on that festiva website.

                  There's another Festiva website?

                  I ask because surely no one on this site would be so fresh as to hoard parts.

                      haha ya! And not just parts either. Might have to do a poll and see what the average # of Festivas owned by each member of this site is....haha

                          Just one. A '90 L and it took me long enough to get, but that's ok 'cause I'm not greedy.
