    Default '85 McLaren coupe - New Jersey $2500

    Attachment 102138

    1985 Mercury capri
    condition: fair
    cylinders: 8 cylinders
    drive: rwd
    fuel: gas
    odometer: 123000
    paint color: white
    title status: clean
    transmission: manual
    type: hatchback

    I am parting ways with my Capri. I just don't have the time or money to put into it. Car does not run. The starter went 15 years ago and I got a company car the following day. Its sat ever since. It's been stored inside for the better part of the last 15 years but now is in my driveway. 302 4bbl carb, 5-speed. 123,000 miles, numbers match. I also have the original orange honeycomb wheels, although they are in pretty bad shape. Excellent pick up for someone looking for a project, very rare car

    Sitting for 15 years because of a BAD starter!

    I agree that changing one out can be a PITA, but NOT that big of a PITA!!!

    Just having to push the car around once would have been enough for me to swap in a new one.

    "Crap!" because you didn't/couldn't buy it? Or "Crap!" because you did buy it and your wife is going to be unhappy?

    Well, obviously I sure don't need another fox around but I'd have done some liquidation to put that one in the garage. It was a giveaway price AND on my side of the country. I never got a answer on the rust situation so that might be the reason for the price. Hopeing someone here got it so we can know the particulars.
