    I didn't hear or see them call it a Capri.

    Rear window says CRAPI though.

    I think they only did the hood and front end. They never did a good shot of it.

    Yeah.... I was going to post a thread last night; but someone else was hogging my computer until oh-dark-thirty.....

    Right at the opening of the show; they displayed the vehicle type & motor combo info. It was on that list that it said,"'79 Capri". Secondly, the kid with the Capri had the very desireable GT non-cruise steering wheel on it. Lastly, the kid with the Capri brought a knife to a gun fight & had no negotiating skills to speak of......

    The Kid with the Capri wasn't supposed to be negotiating...the dude with the shades was taking care of that.

    No problem bringing a knife to a gun fight if the shooter can't aim...and the other guy said something about that.
