Just putting it out there since I picked up another fox last night. It's an '82 Capri, NO TITLE, gutted, very solid car! only rust is on the drivers rear floor board where it looks like someone jacked it up and bent the floor and then above the drivers quarter window which I already cut out, it is may be 3"x3"...

It was a V8 car, has fairly low mileage (70K IIRC), dash is in good shape, exterior needs paint removed, I started it and it isn't TOO bad really. using a 4" wire wheel and then 180-320 grit and flat black primer to keep the rust off as I took it down to bare metal. I will try to get some new pictures before too long. Keys are here but again NO TITLE... I bought it for drag use but got an AWESOME deal on a different fox that is already race prepped so I am just going to use that one. I will include the front and rear ground effects for an additional price but they need work, horrible paint and tears so...

Hood, spoiler, front and rear ground effects are NOT included. the stock rear bumper is fine as is, front was cut for the ground effect so it will need replaced. I have a different hood I can include which is a stock hood that has a 14"~ round hole cut out for an air cleaner. I removed the metal they had covering the 1/4 windows only to find the windows where busted so it needs those too.

$300, I also have a 351W, a C4 and some 8" slicks I will include for another $200

351W/C4 is gone... I also removed the side skirts and swapped steering wheels for a new fox body one.


$150 cash takes it! $100 if I can keep the wheels/tires

an Aero nose on a Mercury Capri is just a travesty...

I hope you sell it though

X2... if it had the Capri front/rear on it still, I would keep it...

Its missing the bubble hatch too but thats actually an improvement IMO. I always liked the fenders much better on the Capri over the Mustang to be quite honest.

If it doesn't sell, I will be keeping the front fenders and cutting out the rear quarter flares for use on the '87.

N/M pulled the fenders, cut the quarters off, kept the wheels/tires and scrapped it.

sucked doing that to such a solid car but WTF, I was sick of looking at it.

I kinda had a feeling that would happen. I saw a guy that made a Capri coupe out of a notchback and he had grafted Capri fenders and quarters onto it it looked like pure awesomeness.
