[74Trophy]

Hi,I am toying with the idea of selling my Capri.I'm bored with it.I am looking for real opinions on value from people that love these cars.
1986 Capri 5.0,5speed,T-top,No A/C,power windows,no cruise,manual door lock.Has a kn filter,3.73L rear driven daily,just over 100,000 miles,uses some oil.I would like to get back to my steet machine roots and get a Javelin.Chris

Does it have any rust? If so, where? What part of the country do you live in? These questions are important when you are thinking about where to price your Capri. If you have a rust free example and you live in a rust prone area you can charge more.

Hello again,I live in NE PA.There is a small amount of rust on the pass rocker panel.The PO had installed a new rocker over the old one.other than that some small spots here and there where the paint is gone,what is left of the clear is slowly removing itself.the car is currentlly inspected and driven every day.

I think you could easily get $1500, maybe ask $2000

The ttops and 5-speed are a big plus for this car. I would put it in the $2500-3000 dollar range. The paint and lack of Ac are what let it down for me, but the paint is the big issue. If this had even a Maaco paint job where the color was even throughout I think you could ask a lot more. It looks to be a solid car and would make a great project for someone with the ability and equipment to give it the paint job it really needs.

Hi again,A car that does not have a/c is a very big selling point to me ,that is big reason why I bought the car.Heater core 20 minutes with a coffee break.

That's true, all I was saying is that it would be an issue for me as a perspective buyer. When you watch those classic car auctions, the muscle cars with ac are always in greater demand (and fetch a premium) than the ones without. The commentators even go as far as specifically pointing out cars that have ac because the people that are buying "fun" cars want to be comfortable when they go for a ride. Our cars might not be at that level yet, so yours not having ac might not be an issue. I was just saying for me it would be (I also live in Arizona so ac is a must).

If it was closer I would buy it.

Me too. The t-tops are a deal breaker for me though. I guess I don't like being leaked on. 5spd is always a plus
