the Capri on e-bay sold for $18,200

A good price considering it needs rust repairs and a repaint, although the quality is basicaly there.
The shannons one it turns on its head the theory that cars must be standard and v6 to fetch the best price.

The shannons one it turns on its head the theory that cars must be standard and v6 to fetch the best price.

 
I think the theory is still sound, but there will obviously be exceptions like the Shannons car.
 
I was quite surprised the Shannons car went that high, but it looked like a very nice car which probably had a fair bit of money spent.  It's actually a bit comforting, as the 1600 I'm currently rebuilding owes me more than I thought it would be worth if I had to sell.
 
I was thinking long and hard about bidding on the red ebay V6, and thought it would go a bit higher than it did.  It should be an excellent car with a bit of extra attention.

Are you in the market for a new car Jamie?

The search so far for a V6 gt
Did not wish to bid on the red one of eBay after looking closely at the photos.
Waiting for owner to email me detailed photos from one currently listed in unique cars, seems like a good car but not a very desirable colour (metallic brown, resprayed in a Peugeot light gold).
Contacted owner for one currently listed on gumtree, made a offer but needs a lot of work, but is blue a nicer Colour, I wasn't really looking to undertake a full restoration, been there and done that before.
Have just heard about a "true blue" coloured car locally and waiting to inspect next week.
Does anybody have a break down on the number of capris by their colour?
Does anybody know of any other V6 capris on the market, if so pm me
Regards

Well I was driving past a service station earlier this week and spotted a XT Gt refueling, thought I might stop and ask the owner if he knew of any capris for sale, well I be buggered parked in the car park is a red pepper V6 GT. I had a quick walk around the car, and a quick talk to the owner. Asked if may be interested in selling, got a maybe at the right price. I mentioned what I thought might be a fair figure, and he not was insulted. Long story short I have made arrangements to inspect early next week. Seems like a nice car, appears in better condition than the red one recently sold on ebay. I suppose time will tell, also still waiting to inspect true blue coloured Capri near my location. Looks like I have a selection of two cars that I can inspect, without the hassle of a interstate visit and associated transport costs involved. Time will tell.
