1977 Ford Capri
Added on March 20 by RossD
I bought this car from a guy in Green Bay and he said it came from an auction. (1976 Capri 2.3 Liter Lima w/4 speed Type F). He thought it came from Cali, and I found a LA Times from ‘92, I guess he wasn’t lying. All the right spots are rust free and the interior is pretty sad but I’m working on that; the car didn’t run and the tires and brakes were shot when the guy dropped it off. I’ve been bitten by the Lotus/Locost Seven but, let see how long this car will stay with me…
