    Default Looking for Silver & White 1985 Capri 5.0's

    Hi,
    most of you know me as the Motorsport Capri/Grand Prix IV guy. i have been documenting these rare cars for over 30 years.

    the old "rumor" was that only 30 of these cars were built.
    during research it was discovered and confirmed by Marti that Ford ordered 54 of these for conversion (plus a prototype that was not ordered but rather borrowed from a dealership near by).

    i took the 55 Vins & put them in order by production date at Fords Rouge plant & a pattern came out which questioned if all 55 were converted.

    there were 11 "pre-production" cars (track cars/prototypes/festival cars). this is confirmed.

    of the 44 replicas, 14 of them are under question if they were converted. if this is the case, than the 30 built rumor would turn out to be fact. this would be for the replicas.

    i am trying to locate the remaining VINS that i have yet to document to see if these cars were converted or not.

    so i am looking for the following silver & white 1985 Capri 5.0s (all are the RS style with airdam/grey trim).
    all numbers are the last 6 digits of the vin

    some of these were converted, some might have not been.
    over time some may have been repainted and their identity lost.
    there are things to look for to confirm they were converted or not.

    if you have a 1985 5.0 Capri with these last 6 digits of the vins, please reach out to me here, or by PM or email (jringuette@yahoo.com).

    thanks for your time.
