I always wanted one, but I never did get one.
Anyone here ever own a 1976-1983 Fiesta?

One of my favs: 1981 XR2

How light are these older fiestas? Could be a nice fixer-upper / Race car with a new engine. Reminds me of the Mark II VW.

When I was younger I used to confused the two because they looked so similar.

I'll have to spend some time and find more specs.
I know they were pretty light, and even the low compression/emissions laden 1.6L in the early 80's pushed that little car along pretty good.

I think it'd make a pretty good and inexpensive AutoCross car. [thumb]

I always confused these with Dodge Omnis, just because of the wheels.[]

 

[WD40]

Good point. I hadn't thought about that before.
But then again, when I think of Dodge Omni, I think of the GLH model...Goes Like Hell! []
I had the utmost respect for that vehicle at the time.

My first car was almost a black over tan GLH. I probably would've bought it for 4K back in '93 if it weren't for the crack vinyl dashboard and missing doorhandles on the rear doors.

Here's a picture from the front.

I actually dig it ... I would drive that and pimp it out also.

^^^You bet!
They're getting kind of hard to find anymore though.
I think it's great that the new Fiesta has sparked all this interest in the old Fiesta.

And, thanks to whomever moved this thread to the correct area. []

That is actually really cool looking! That would look cool as hell with fender flares and wide wheels/tires.

The Fiesta came out around the same time I got mi license, but when I was 16, I was only interested in Fords with big V-8's. I had no interest in small cars.

Yes...Not unlike Superman and Kryptonite. []

I used to have one. We got it for free from a local used car dealership that the propane tank (for the building) blew up at. We ended up using it as a field bomber and a really fun play car! this car was such a blast to drive.... it ended up dieing after trying to jump it once or twice in the sand pits behind my uncles house!! it was a great little car!

 

[tukaniRAY]

^^ Revive it ... or did you guys get rid of it?
