Well my 85 GT convertible is mine no more. I've owned it since about 1995. One of the last carbed 5.0 5 speeds right before the change over to fuel injected cars. Nothing fancy but was always a good driver and all around fun car. Dumped a lot of money and parts into it over the years including an 8.8 with 3:73 gears.
It's has been off the road since 2005. It needs a new top and a good washing but is in surprisingly good shape with just some minor rust in the rear floor boards. I could've parted it out and made about three times what I sold it for but it's going to a good ( local ) home and will be fixed up. That means more to me even though I'm just about flat broke. What I sold it for doesn't even cover my Home Owners Insurance renewal for 2020.
I'm also regrettably going to have to sell my 86 4E Capri in the coming months. It's 1 of 12 built ( have Marti Report ) and the last one left according to several guys who keep up with that stuff. I will list it here first before anywhere else. I'm not at all happy about it but have no real choice.
Sad days around here.
