I found a guy selling a Capri for parts with a title for $400 on CL. It's was about 3 hours from me in Yuba city California outside Sacramento in the farmland. This car has been sitting for at least 15 years behind the guys house parked between farm equipment. It was last registered in 2002. I had to have this car because one, it was really cheap and two, it seems like a car with weird options. I'm pretty sure through looking through the Capri fact books it is a base model car because in the options section only a base model car could come without a passenger side mirror. The odd thing is the bulge scoop, the 302, and the fact that it had a five speed, all while being a base model car. The trans isn't with the car, but I was told by the guy I got it from that it had one. It was apparently taken by his friend and then his friend sold the car to him. The car also doesn't have a rear defroster. As well as having a moon roof. I would think that if someone specified these options they would spend the extra money for a mirror and a defroster or a higher trim package. It just seems like and odd combination to me. But then again I'm young and new to the Capri game, this could be common and I'm just crazy. Hopefully my guess about the cars model is correct. Thanks foxchassis!
VIN is : 1MEBP67F6C7631305
Also FYI to everyone, I will not be parting the car out, this car will see a new life with me. The only place so far I've found rust is in the rail where below where the battery sits and around the moon roof. I will be tubing the front and I'm going too get a new roofskin from some foxbodys in the pick and pull here in San Jose next weekend. It's sawzall time baby.
