Spotted: Motorsport/Grand Prix IV Capri

[Motorcity]

I couldn't believe my eyes... Here's a shot of it. Sorry, property made it hard to get a good vantage point.

I left my contact info. Waiting to hear something.

[TopGear85]

Good luck, that's a spectacular find! It looks like its in ok shape too.

[fascat]

Great find. Hopefully you will hear from the owner.

[02Z06]

Very cool! I hope you get it!

[Motorcity]

I left my contact info but haven't heard anything yet. I'm going to drive by on a regular basis until I can speak to these folks. I am stalking this car! Haha!

[In2Fords]

I've seen a pic of that same car sitting there from the side and the owner feeling bad for letting it sit, Im thinking I saw it on facebook, mustang mafia's page ormaybe fox shoppe page? I've been looking for it but no luck.

Great find, and keep an eye on it. If it's close, I would drive by everyday

Yeah, it's close. I can't believe I didn't notice it sooner.

Oh, if you can track that down...that would be helpful.

[Blainer]

Very cool find indeed!

I went back as far as August '12 on the FB page. The one I saw is not the same car or property. The car I spotted has red ASC/McLaren mesh wheels.

[rkuhn]

Sorry I put the pic of the wrong car. lol this is it.

[Motorcity]

Yeah, definitely a different car and property/home.

[In2Fords]

AHH, yeah that was is. I just remembered one rotting in a yard and figured it was the same one, sad that out of only 30 cars this is the fate of a pair of them

[FoxChassis]

There may be a couple more but out of the 30 I know of only four that were white with grey interior and T-roof.

[In2Fords]

from what I can tell white T-tops were

615265
615266
615272
615274
615284
603579 - PROTOTYPE

now if that t-top has red sport interior its one of 3

[bull-vette]

Cool find! Keep us posted!

Only two with PD interior trim had a T-roof. The third one (the backup pace car) had a solid roof.

O.K. I received a phone call from the owner. We had a nice chat. I am planning to take a close look at the car this weekend. I'll keep you all posted!

[1985 Motorsport Capri]

that is the actual pace car for the Detroit Grand Prix.
owners name is Steve.
I lost track of the car when he moved to FLA about 7 years ago.

in the photo you can see the lower door sticker(only put on the track cars) and the shaker scoop & asc/mclaren orange rims (added after the race by a owner before Steve).

if you stop by again, please forward him my ph# & email. he should remember me as we met in person & have talked on the phone a few years back.

Please keep us posted. Now that I am all settled in, I have a hankering for something. Let me know if you pass on it.
