Default Rearwheel fiesta?

Hello there!
Let me just introduce myself, I am a dutch mechanical engineering student and i was looking for a car to restore. I didn't want to pay a lot so i've searched around and found a supposed 1979 Ford Fiesta 950 for under €300. I checked the license plate and the data says it's a 950 'custom'. The weirdest part is the data says it has rear wheel drive. So today I went to take a look at the car. The car was a bit of a mess, the front side was pretty rusted but the rest was still pretty neat. So i popped the hood and i saw what i believe was a drive shaft to the rear. I testdrived it but the 0.95 liter engine didn't have a lot of power, so i didnt really feel if it's rear or front. Only at one point where i turned and accidently gave a lot of gas and the steering wheel centerd real fast. But my question is: is it possible that this really is a rear wheel Ford Fiesta?
Thanks in advance
