WOW!! Nice Capri!! I've always thought the Capri's had to have the RS chin spoiler to look right.....but lately I've been liking the standard nose too....and yours has a great look to it without the chin!!! I have those Cobra rims on my 84 Turbo Coupe (only chrome), I love those rims, I just can't believe more people don't run them as they look so good on FOX cars. So congrat's on the purchase, hope you have fun with it and keep us posted its time slips!!
Later, RAY
PS-More pic's please!!!

Man is it fast! I couldnt resist dropping it off on some country raods out at my buddies place and taking them for a thrill ride.... I have never driven anything this fast before... THANKS PATRICK... WHAT A RIDE! :bouncesmi
pics of loading it up:
Stopped at the Wendys on top of the mountain to grab a quick bite to eat and had some idiot in a ricered out Nissan Fairlady, ask if it was a four cylinder still... "because he seen the SVT badges and figured it was a 4 banger" WTF?!?!? must be good crack...
then had a bunch of guys ask me what kind of car it is at the gas station. LOL, Im loving the attention already. :bouncesmi
and yes... it did have a shot of Nitrous on it, but I think it is well capable of running low 12's on the motor as it sits... my white stang could do it, and I KNOW this car would kill it in a race...
I will take some better pics of it today.. Forgot to ask him about the '83-'84 thing...
just appraised it yesterday... appraised at damn near twice what I paid... guess it was a good deal. The funny part is the appraiser asked me to bring it back sometime and take him for a ride... haha, he is a huge Stang fan.
I already scared the crap out of all the friends I took for a rip....
Will get a video up of me going throw the gears tomorrow.
Here is a video of it idling this morning. it has no choke on it, so it doesnt idle good until it is warmed up.
very nice, sounds good.
Well that didnt last long....
Took it on the Road course today and had the oil pump driveshaft twist and snap. Looks like I will be pulling a motor this weekend.... YIPPEE! LOL
I've seen photos of that car somewhere else, one the of best looking I've ever seen. Can I use it on my website?
