I know its not a festiva but it is a ford, lol. I just picked this up from a scrapper that was going to smash it for scrap. I bought it from him for 125.00 and 75.00 to deliver. Runs great 83000 miles 2.3 turbo. Its a kinda ugly car, but it goes fast rear wheel drive and has leather. Another orphan ford.

One good thing about visiting the dry, warm southwest is that if you are paying attention, it’s like a great big open air car museum. It’s astonishing to see the […]

Wow, I can't believe they were going to crush it. I dig the XR4TI's. When my engine went out in my Festiva, I searched for a Merkur as a replacement, but there weren't any in good shape around me. If that looks as good in real life as it does in the picture, that's a $2-3K vehicle. Rapido Group is the known as the premier company when it comes to Merkurs and they are in your neck of the woods. http://rapidogroup.com/Last edited by Eaglefreek; 08-23-2016, 09:01 AM.Rick

I'll never understand people willing to crush a perfectly running car.
And that is one pretty example of a XR4Ti.

Yea I was really happy I decided to go to the scrap yard that day. It actually looks better than the pics My old blackberry doesn't take very good photos. I could not believe they were going to smash it either. They got paid to haul it off, and they don't mess with things. I have actually seen many good things go through the yard, from perfectly good cars to golf carts, mowers. All they cared is that they made money. So I had to pay what it would bring in weight. Well it kinda helped to know the people. I don't think they are suppose to let cars go after they are in the yard. I'm glad Oregon is so easy to get a title. I still wish I had a festiva again though Someday I will get another.
