well she gone now but was a blast while she lasted, drifting with a one wheel spinin live axle could get you in trouble, here are some pics of a rained out day at an abandodned air field that we race at...

77 Ford Caprioriginally a 3.0 60 degree German built Frod V6Pushrod Burton 3/4 race CamRebuilt Engine ~ 180hp weak oil pump lead to engine disaster..

She was reborn in 2001 wiht a CA18DET RWD from a 90 S13...

installed and ran great till coming home from a Bachelor party, i smashed it through a Fence post and ended up selling the car and kept the engine and accessories, and bought myself a 1990 JDM Silvia Q's automatic :(... so i have a DET to install with some minor mods for about 350hp and DE to build up as a MONSTER 600HP DRAGSTER!! yippie... :)

Great car ! The Capri was very popular over here(germany, although i think the 3L V6 engine was the only Capri engine that was made in England) in the late seventies. There was a big aftermarket for this car, even bolt on turbo kits(around 400hp max output). I like the idea to put a CA engine in such a car.
