Way over priced (I think) once you see the rest of the pics.

I have some large pics he sent me, if I could email them to someone and they could post them here.

Very true, I just don't think it's a $2400 car. Maybe $1400:confused:

with what I see, I wouldn't buy it personally....

Under those rear side markers I bet there are holes in the rear qtr.

That is going to need alot of rust removal, and we have not seen the floors
or front frame rails yet.

dunno, need more pics i think

Yea, I think I'll pass on this one unless he drops the price by 2K. Too bad it's in that rough of shape, I would like to have a T top twin.

Yes, definitely a project and a half there. Far from a $2500 car.

In Canada, that's considered mint,LOL. It has potential but is alittle too much money. That Capri needs full restoration. Likely panel patches and doors. Then there's the floor?
Rust with T-roof equals rotten floor in most cases. It would be best to see that Capri in the air on a hoist and look at the bottom of her. Then make a offer from there?

From those pictures. I don't think it's that unreasonable. Yeah it will need some work but i've seen members here take on harder projects then that. Atleast you start with a very original car with all of its parts too.

It depends on how good you are with a welder and body repair skills. It has been established that Capris are rarer than Mustangs. How bad do you want to save this car? Will it be a weekend project that wll not be in the way everytime you go into the garage? Will a significant other complain about it? Do you value the price of your elbow grease? Will it be a project to educate a child or neighbor with? Do you want a car to get in and drive? I don't think this is a daily driver in its present condition, but lots of cars have door rust.
The Capri unique parts look good, you can buy floor pans and door skins at almost any of the industry sites.
2000 bucks if I had knowledge and space.
