Capri was a cool little car. Had a neighbor with a yellow one with a black vinyl top. :)

Would be even cooler with a 4.6L and a 6MT.

I remember a video from 99 or so, of a Capri on an autoX course. The course was very tight from what I could see, so the driver was "drifting" to swing the car around the turns. It was actually quite entertaining.

One of the owners of rally america, he lives in MN, Bob Olson has a Cosworth Capri rally car. He also had a 76? porsche 911 rally car for a long time before it went to my friend ryan. Bob is a very fantastic man.
He and ryan also built a rx-8 rally car.

Here is Bob's porsche with a newer owner.

And his Capri.

And I found this while looking for a pic of the capri. :rotfl :rotfl

Ha, the Mercury "Crapi". that vert was the worst of the bunch. the last one I liked was the original German made V6 from the early 70's.

honestly, I prefered the Fox Body Capri above all others

the front end did it for me.

I liked it better than the Mustang.

the wheels are appropriately chocked :pface
