    Not a bad deal for $200 IMHO, but that POOR Capri! Best of luck with the resurrection.

    I feel a similar pain with my 82 RS!

    It may look rough but if the worst part is what you see, it may not be all that bad. Being an 86 makes it workable for the drivetrain.

    looks rough but I would buy it for $200 . If it where around here in MI it would not be worth its weight for scrape because of the rust. And scrape is $110 a ton

    Score! A $200 car around here would have nothing left from the molding down. Especially and interesting car like a Capri.

    Save yourself some $$$. Start by buying a cracked up 87-93 or 94-95 mustang to gut for parts.

    The Capri’s were kind of limited in production (more so then Mustang anyway). They must be a real challenge when it comes to specific parts? I hardly ever see any for sale in the Wisconsin area. At least ones worth having.
