How many Cat's do you think there are?

[CapriCat]

Hey Guys,

I know there were approximately 805 Crimson Cats made in 1983. How many do you think are left?

How may do you link are left and have not been hacked up?

[75coug]

Considering how few Capris of any kind that remain, I would have to say not many at all.

[thecrimsoncat]

I'd say under 100.

[iSickboy]

Not to bump an old post but I had an 82 Crimson Cat in High School ~95/96 and I know it is still somewhere around town.

[thecrimsoncat]

They actually only made them for one year, 1983.

[thecrimsoncat]

I have seen online less than 10. I'm sure there are more hiding in garages and backyard (where I found mine).

[Ethyl Cat]

Those comments make me glad that I own one as well.

Guess I'll have to keep it!!!! (unless someone wants to offer me the 10's of thousands that this limited edition vehicle MUST be worth by now)

I have 17 in the database, at least one was found in a junkyard.

Except for the original poster, everyone else that has posted in this thread that said they have or had one does not have their car entered into the database. (Hint, Hint.)

[FM2NOTCH]

I will get the info off mine

buck tag from my cc capri

[FoxChassis]

Thanks. Do you have a door tag for the car?

EDIT: Also, what is the last digit by the hole? And what options does the car have, besides A/C, cruise, and defrost? Does it have tilt, premium sound, tint, delay wipers, and AM/FM, or cassette, or 8-track? How many mile on the odo?

[cottonbear]

I have CC seats!

Thanks. Do you have a door tag for the car?

EDIT: Also, what is the last digit by the hole?

the number by the hole is a 7, I'm working on the door tag and checking options

I had one for several years but it had too much rot on the front and rear frame rails. I ended up stripping it and using alot of the parts on an 81 Capri. This was about 12 years ago and I know now I probably should have tried to save it.

So I guess you can subtract one more from the total.

[cobracomander]

There was one at U-pullit junkyard in Morrisville PA 3 -4 years ago. i have or had some parts from it i bought from a guy who picked it. then it got crushed an made into a toaster.. i think
gulp why why why....

I do not think mine is in the registry.

I will get the tag numbers from it Wed or Thur.
