Start-up and walk around video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NYfoR3MQS4 Up on the auction block is a first generation 1.6L I4 United States of America spec 1978 Ford Fiesta S ("Sport" model with sway bars and tighter suspension - handles great!) This is an incredibly awesome candidate for a full restoration. It is currently a daily driver with some rust in various places including the driver's door jam and battery tray. The floorboards are solid. Virtually everything works. Even the rear hatch struts hold up like new! Tires are also in good shape. Includes working newer CD/MP3 stereo. The water pump and radiator were replaced within the last 6 months. The doors, hood, and rear hatch all open and close solidly and squarely. Both doors and rear hatch locks function perfectly with the same key. The gas cap has a separate locking key. I have the Washington State title (clear) with release of interest signed by the current registered owner. The WA state license plates have 01/12 tabs. The vehicle is emissions exempt in Washington State due to its age. There are only a few repair/replacement items as far as I can tell:Parking brake needs adjustment or new cableDriver's side window regulator needs replacement (works, but skips a few teeth up and down)Dome light needs replacementRadio antenna needs replacementWindshield is cracked, however, it doesn't seem to block driver's viewRadiator fan toggle-switch is located on dash instead of automatically triggeredFront main crankshaft seal leaks; appears very easy to replace
