    Default Just picked up this 79 Capri Turbo RS

    I just picked up this car last week. Finally got pics for you all. Its in nice shape for a 34 year old car. It has about 42000 miles and was garaged most all its life. It still sports the original 2.3T carb'ed engine and turbo. I drove it an hour home, and was surprised how well it drove. Needs a few things but all-in-all a nice car, and finally something I can drive, enjoy and take to a show or two. Its cool that it still has the original motor as most were torn out.

    On to the Pics

    Great looking Capri, what are your plans for it? I love the color combo, especially the interior color. It looks like all you really need is a drivers side door panel in chamois to finish it off. Are you gonna keep the hood painted orange?

    Congrats on the new ride, she's a keeper!
    Cheers!

    Thanks for posting the pics. Driver door is from an aero Mustang, and if I'm seeing the parts of the VIN correctly it is specifically from a 1987 LX 5.0L hatchback (1FABP41E2HF231650).

    Congrads on a nice car!
    Manual steering?
    Kind of rare to see on a car ordered with all those other options.
    Aren't all the intact vac hoses a hoot?
    Those engines run fine if not messed with except for normal maintenance.
    Of course carefully document these before replacing or anything.
    That carb is hard to get. Treat it well.

    Yes this was the car for sale in Maine. They drove it to Boston and I drove up there, met them there and picked it up and drove it home.

    Yeah, I kept waiting til the price came down to a range I was willing to spend. So once it did I called. They were very nice and coming down to Mass was appreciated as it made it MUCH easier for me to get. Now just some light fixing and I should have a fun car to cruise in. It drove great back from Mass.

    It's always a cool feeling getting a new to you car!

    I'm curious to hear more in the future about how that engine is working. Good luck with everything!
