My '83 Capri L ,(76000mi) is a non air car 5.0-4spd with no power options except steering. It has a leather steering wheel. It is Black with red cloth interior and has a factory installed front air dam. You can see where the original front valance was cut to install this air dam. I know it was done by Ford because I've known the car since it was new,( I'm the second owner) and it still has the orig paint. Last year I talked to the owner of the dealership in my town that sold the car new. He has owned this dealership since the early 60's. He told me he took delivery on this particular car from Ford during Speed Week of the 1983 Indy 500 and drove it himself back from Indianapolis to his dealership (160mi.). He also said this car was used by Ford at the Indy 500 for something. He did not know exactly for what Ford used the car. Just that they had used it during Speed Week. It was sold off the lot the day he got home! Does anyone know anything about cars like this that Ford has used at Indy??
