  • Road and Track article

    I believe it was road and track that had the custom festiva article. Must have been an 88 or 89 issue. I thought there was a scan somewhere on the forums but I can't find it for the life of me. Any one know which one I'm talking about?

    I wish I could say I knew where it was. I have seen it though, hopefully someone else can find it!

      Here's where it "was". Not there now, though. If this is the one you mean.

        I think there used to be 2 magizine articals in the Links section on the homepage. Not there now.

          Not the old Road and Track article, but I just found this one from Grassroots Motorsports:

          This Ford SHOgun is a home built combination of the Ford Festiva and Ford Taurus SHO, who's performance is far above the $2000 cost.


          It's about a SHO copy in the "2003 challenge." I have subscribed to this mag lately and I think it's the best one out there.

            I figured just as much, I also thought it used to be in the links. Oh well. Thanks for the help anyway!. Good thing there is a automobile store that has back issues!.

                      I have that issue of Motor Trend and a couple if others. I'll bring them with me to Westiva.
