Looks like its led a very interesting life so far. And lots of detail parts needed for a resto. Well worth it tho and im glad its in good hands.

ronsmallford If you really want to, I can supply some, cheers,...ron.
id like one or two of them stickers are you making them or are they made up already.... if your making them if probably like them in white back ground with black writing as my capri is yellow and will standout better in white black cheers
I only have yellow and black as thats all they came in. They might look ok on yellow car or can be placed on the aircleaner or radiator cover plate. If you pm me your mailing address i will send a couple FOC..... Cheers,...ron.

I'm certainly glad that it's gone to someone who'll restore and enjoy it, and hopefully I'll see it one day. Sad to hear about the previous owner's illness though. If that was me I'd be devastated to sell my babies. Hopefully one day I'll come across my dream orange v6 capri, or the wild violet v6 I went for a drive in as a teenager in the late 80's (my first v6 capri experience).

don't u wish getting them out of NZ was easier - this ones up to the awe inspiring total of $203.50.     it is rustier than it looks - but great for wrecking! (half thinking - joking - sort of) - of going over, stripping it, boxing up the parts and sending them back - air fares are under $200 each way at the mo) He has a rusty 3litre facelift for $2500 as well...

Price will depend on how much of it's original parts are still there and how much I have to find, body mods etc, an as is price would be about 13.5k

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. https://www.gumtree.com.a...68-auto-440/1139059258

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.

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.
