Description:

Suddenly it's 1974!
I had one of these in 1974 and am currently using this as a daily driver and it is a barrel of fun!
These cars are hard to find and this is a good prospect for either a driver or full restoration. All original paint except the front left fender, which was replaced years ago. What you see is what you get as far as the body condition goes.No rust except the usual behind the rear wheels. The chrome and trim in amazing condition for a car this age. Working A/C!! All new compressor and condenser added in the past few years.Larger than stock aluminum radiator was fitted by previous owner to handle the increased load of the air conditionerA new water pump was installed. Newer belts and hosesA new drive shaft and u joints was installed (the stock u joints are not replaceable on the original)Newer front suspension (rack, ball joints, TCAs) Newer brakes including calipers. Has a slight Capri shimmy from 40 to 60, which I am guessing is tire/wheel balance.Engine runs good but occasionally smokes on start up. Drips oil. Transmission and clutch work great. No cracked glass. The gas tank was removed and professionally cleaned out.There is an exhaust leak somewhere in the exhaust pipe and the pipes to do not extend past the end of the car. One pipe is bent on the bottomIf you run it through a car wash, there appears to be a leak from under the dash on the driver's side. The original wheels come with the car but need to be repaintedNotice the old school camber plates
Primarily needs interior. (what 40 year old Capri doesn't?)
I am very familiar with these cars so please ask any and all questionsas this is currently a driving but project car
Also the car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to stop the auction if it sells locally before the auction ends.
Again, ask questions and I can send more pictures
