    If that thing was local, I would buy it just for the hell of it. Kinda cool looking, definitely original. A sure-head-turner...

    Actually Ford had a Capri back in the early 60s. It was an English Ford. I had one of them. 1963 vintage.

    Back around 1981, there was a Ford Capri in the area with a 289, 4 spd., in it. Many had a V6. I think a 2.8L.

    What does this have to do with Mavericks? I'm glad I don't pay for the band width.

    I'm glad you don't also... cuz you would have just wasted your money also like the rest of us. Glad Stefan is a nice guy and let's us talk about all sorts of junk. ;)

    I just now noticed this was in the General Maverick/Comet section also.

    Kinda looks like a maverick. This should have been in Off top or other automotive section
