Pretty cool Capri. Though a turbo-4 would have been just as cool as the powerplant. Along with a 1986 Capri 5.0 (the same as 1979 Cobra, 1982 Mustang GT, etc.) front air dam.

That would be a decent car for someone but man I had to put on the hip waders while reading that!!!! Lot's of used car salesman BS in that one!!!!

 

There is some strange information on this car. The build date is 3/85, but Tire Sticker still has the Metric 220/390 TRX tires listed. I thought 1984 was the last year for the TRX wheel package? But the 225/60/15 tires are listed also which would indicate 1985 . . .

 

Definetely a very nice example. I too would have liked to see the 4 cyl turbo engine under the hood but oh well. needs a little freshening but definetley a good start!

 

I like it. With a paint job and some interior freshening, that would be a mean car. I am thinking it would look good in Redfire Metallic.

 

i wouldnt read that whole BS thing if u paid me, but that car is far from being good imo, the 85 5.0 Capri is better, but those svo wheels look cool dont they :scratch:

 

Well the paint may not be in great shape. But its a very good starting point. The body looks to be pretty straight. Capris are getting really hard to find and thats really not to bad of an example compared to what you usually come across.

Now an ASC Mclaren Capri vert. That would be the ultimate Capri!

Thanks. I believe that it was an 86 I saw. Black convertible. Beautiful car.

 

There was an article about a year or so ago in MM&FF about a husband and wife who bought an ASC Mclaren Capri (red 2 seater vert - tan top) for $4k and found out it was worth well over $15k. Thats gotta be a nice surpirse huh?

 

My Uncles friend bought a damaged 85 or 86 5.0 ASC Capri Vert, green for like a grand.

 

he shoulda just called it a Forkury Capstang

lol, at least get the name right dude (and by dude i mean the dude who posted the ad)

 

If he fixes it up stock it could be worth a pretty penny

 

He sold it for 2800 on ebay.

 

Oh well, there are others around... maybe
