Reduced to $100...
I really feel sorry for this old thing, it's an auto with all the extra 'L' woodgrain, chrome, trim and badges. Actually a fairly unusual car.
Can't quite see the console but if its a GT one it's worth the asking price alone.

I saw this back when the pricing was 10x that, which I thought was pretty optimistic. Hiopefully someone will see some value in it at its present price and at least reuse some parts.

it doesn't actually look too bad under the crud...
A good pressure wash, take the seat covers off, who knows?
 
440 never really did it for me, but I never realised they came out with twin bonnets. :)
Nice reversing light too.

had that yellow rusty capri came up last yr for that price id fly over to nz and strip it of the good parts and engine send it all back to aus .... well worth the trip to nz for all of those spares  .. its even got the radio still in  good bloody deal ..
 
might see if a few of the kiwi friends have any cousin's near there to strip it down

The yellow Capri would survive quite well if the right person came along and restored it.
I see a good base for a great car because most of the parts (maybe all) are already in place untouched.
Yes it will need rust repairs but that is all doable.
Really a shame to think it may be stripped for parts.
 

From what I learnt last year whack it in a container by other stuff and don't use timber for pallets.
It looks pretty well gone but I wouldn't cut it up.

there are much better buys (as restorers) than that there (that baby blue one of mine cost 3k or something and just had a small engine fire) - apparently it (the yellow one) has been sitting out in a paddock from the mid 90's and is a lot worse than it looks. I don't think its worth bringing back in one piece. (its not even a v6). ($4500 - $5500 to bring it back and clear it and you've a very very rusty 4 cyl)
$500 (air fares) there and back, car hire (sleep in the car), buy the tools over there (and post them back to yourself), cut it and dismantle it (maybe the guy will let u do it at his) and post (no tax) them back (they have a habit of catching u at the airport and making u pay GST! - ive  been slugged). If enough people wanted and were willing to pay for parts (split rear seat there!) - may be ok... OR if u had a capri and needed all the bits - very worth while
So u may get out of it for $1500 expenses if u were lean and well organised  ......
it interests me for the latter - and apparently there are a couple of others available cheap - do them all in the one trip and make it worth while.
 
if u had somewhere to store a 20ft container and go back and forth, and gradually fill it - could be good - because they keep coming up for nicks.

 

That is one shagadelic Capri you've found Spud!

Hey Ron could I buy a couple of the 165hp decals for the orange beastly please. For those who may be interested in the car as is Im happy to discuss selling it I will just need to go over it and see how much is changed or missing, I'm away till Sunday night

No problems JR. Just pm me a mailing address and i will send some, FOC.

So Spud you've argued about rust from NZ Capris but I don't want a mouldy one and it's a Mk2. Spores when you cut it aren't good for the lungs and fumigation costs well won't go their.
