That's a mk2 Capri.  mk1's have trunks, this mk2 and the mk3's (which is just a facelift of the mk2 and shares a good amount of DNA with the mk1) have hatches.

Good luck finding any parts worth salvaging on that thing.

MK2. Bumpers are a dead giveaway. I miss my 73 2.6. That really is too far gone. Sucks

They are also selling a Mark 2 Jaguar in a similar state of decay.

There's a fine line between "patina" and "perforated"

In reply to Docwemple :

The federal mk2 bumpers are really similar, but not the same, as the '74 mk1's.  I think the bigger give away is the lack of phony side vents below the larger side glass on the mk2 and 3.  Also the whole "if it doesn't have a trunk, it's not a mk1" thing.

(First thought): Thats maybe worth scrap value....

(looks at the price): Ah, props to the seller on his realistic appraisal.  Rare these days.

Lots of oddball cars lurking in southern Virginia.

Listed as SOLD! Most likely for parts as I can't see anyway that would be worth fixing up.
