Here we have an original 1968 VOLKSWAGEN SAPPHIRE IX AM radio.  I'm not sure what models or other years this may fit so please do your homework first before bidding.  Sorry, but I don't have a set of knobs or the faceplate for this unit.  Part number for this radio is 8SMV and it was made by Motorola.  Radio has been tested and is in working condition.  Pushbuttons work very smoothly and set stations properly.  Manual tuning works fine up and down the scale.  The plastic dial lens has a small crack on the left side which can be seen in the pictures.  Numbering is still very bright.  Dial indicator is faded and could use a repaint.  I usually do this but can't figure out the proper way to safely remove the clips that hold the lens in place.  Dial light is functional.  There is a black wire for power, a very short gray wire for the dial light, and a pair of wires (brown) for the speaker.  There are no connectors on the ends.  The casing is in good condition with just a few minor rust spots.  Nice replacement for your existing, non working unit.  Just swap the lenses and paint the dial indicator while you have the lens removed.  I have sold many radios over the years through eBay and try to describe them as accurately as possible.  I take pride in my work and strive for 100% customer satisfaction.  I believe my feedback is a good reflection of these efforts.  Please add $11.95 postage for domestic shipping.  International bidders welcome.  PayPal accepted.  Please contact me for further payment options.   Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Ford Racing offers B-Spec kit for the Fiesta

Mon, 12 Mar 2012

While a B-Spec Ford Fiesta might seem like unsalted mashed potatoes compared with Ken Block's Hybrid-Function Hoon Vehicle variant, the basic car is plenty of fun when equipped with a manual transmission and shod with some good summer rubber. As such, Ford Racing is offering a kit to convert a showroom-fresh Fiesta hatch into an affordable racer eligible for SCCA, Grand-Am and World Challenge B-spec competition. The main mod involved is a coil-over suspension kit.
