1986 Capri RS Black, 5.0, Auto, complete 91 interior (dash, plastics, etc) and drivetrain (all wiring converted as well, so it is mass air). 86 Halo seats, needs carpet, typical ashtray broken and console lid latch, otherwise clean. No rust on hatch or doors. Little rust on roof near hatch, and will need a patch on the drivers side floor in the typical spot. No rust on the rest of car. UPR offroad x pipe, Ford Racing stainless steel catback, has exhaust leak somewhere, I believe it is a header gasket. I have a set of used BBK shorties that go with, I may get around to swapping them in with new gaskets to eliminate leak. New radiator, starter, hoses (FRPP blue silicone), plugs, wires, brakes front and rear, including calipers, pads, hoses, shoes, etc. Has FRPP A/C and smog pump delete kits, Runs great, was a daily driver for the last 6 months, 60 miles a day.

Not exactly the Mark VII I was looking for but its still a fox body. I'm going to go look at it this week some time.

Cool! It's a rare thing to see around here. I haven't seen one anywhere except in a junkyard in the past few years.

Just found out that pulling the Cougar from the insurance and adding the Capri drops $200 for six months.

More rust than I want to fix. I let it sit over the winter and rust on the drivers side showed up like acne on a 12 year olds face.

Theres a hole the sizo of a half dollor through the door and its creeping out from under the bump strip on the rear quarters.

The car is going to a good home its not getting crushed. I contacted the kid that when to look at the car right after I did back in 2004. He said he still wanted the car so I made him a deal I would through it back together and sell it to him if he would drive it and not crush it.

He said he had $500 cash for a down payment on him right then and there.

and is it a c-4 or aod auto ?

Considering it says it has a 91 driveline I assume its an AOD if not it will be soon.

The other thing about the car that sparked my interest in it was the price he was asking with all the stuff hes done to it already.
He said he was putting stainless cat back FRPP exhaust on it last weekend also.
