    Default 82 capri roller

    Me and the wife took a trip to the mountains of WV this morning and this a-hole tailgated me all the way home.

    Rust free in all the important places. It had a sunroof at some point, but someone welded in some bracing and sheet metal. Doesn't look like a bad job. Frame is clean and it has black interior, but missing headliner and carpet. It was an auto car.

    I have a fresh-rebuilt c4 sitting around, but no extra engines. I'm thinking I may do a t5 swap and 2.3 (n/a) for just a regular cruiser. I have some time to make up my mind, so who knows.

    I lied. Looks like this was a manual 4 cyl car. I didn't even pay attention to the pedals. The guy said it was auto. I never thought to double check. Anyway, paint is original. Bright red with black on lower half. Power steering.

    $500. I figure it was worth that as a parts car, but it's solid. I'll be on the hunt for a 4 cyl engine and t5 soon, I guess.

    I have the correct/original hatch for this car. In fact, that's how I found the car. I went to go buy a hatch and it turned out to be the one off this car. He had swapped over the later hatch with gt wing on it because he liked the look better. The original hatch didn't have a spoiler on it. He had the capri sitting nearby and we started talking about it. I called a few of my friends and tried to talk them into buying it so I didn't have to, but no takers lol!
