Found in Mt. Shasta, CA

Submitted by SDCapri on May 23, 2008

Ford Capri in Mt. Shasta, CA area. Notified by owner’s daughter (owner passed on) that it was “free to a good home.” Found someone in the area who picked it up. Later, notified again, by new owner that he had too many projects and asked if I wanted it. Sure! 83,000+ miles on Ford 2.0L, complete car. Minor rust, old rubber seals, & thrashed interior. Last registered in 1983 and ran when parked apx. 10 years ago.

nice snag. Remember the ads? They called it the “Sexy European.” A high school friend had one of these. The car had potential. Check some UK websites, I think these have a solid cult following over there, with lots of creative mods to contemplate. But you probably want to keep it stock. Don't blame you if you do, it looks like it belongs in a time capsule. Lucky you!
