    "New" 1997 Ford Aspire

    Just picked up a 1997 Ford Aspire 4 door.... I say that I think I like it more than my Festiva but I will be using it to fix the bent rear axle that my car has plus upgrade my car..... engine only runs on 3 cylinders (more than likely a burnt valve) but has about 144,xxx miles and I think it runs way better than my Festiva!

    may part it out on here but the brake swap, engine/tranny, hatch, and a few little things are already spoken for..... tires are garbage might keep rims depending on size....





    will post better photo when I get the chance....

        Start getting used to honking the horn inadvertently though- the knobs are more exposed on the Aspire. And you'll find the sloped air bag dash just isn't as handy. Other than that - and a couple/three inches less headroom, they are very similar and same great motor.

          looks like she is fully loaded with A/C, Power steering, and ABS.... has one good tire and she is dead a hole..... otherwise the car is in really good shape
