Wow that was one of those basic Festiva's ever made. Zero options. No radio, no a/c, no nuttin. That's so damn cool. My dad had one brand new back in 1991 I think. His was white but it had a few options... am/fm radio, power steering, an "upgraded" interior (more cloth and less plastic/vinyl), motorized seat belts, and I think that was it. It was an awesome car back in the day.

My advice, carry a full size spare, cordless impact and floor jack. Aside from that, inspecting the serpentine belt, these things are bulletproof
Definitely good idea. Was planning on full size for sure.
Ill check out the serp. belt.

Ha thats awesome. If only we had the room to keep every car that was ever owned by our family. One of the hardest things in life.

Oddly enough, I think mine had a radio installed and dealer installed A/C. Or at least some part of its life it had A/C installed. I had to recharge it but the A/C still worked. This one had the power seat belts, but I replaced them with manual during plans to import to Canada.
