Description

A BARN FIND SURVIVOR: 1972 MK1 FORD CAPRI 2000 GT coupe. Just the Facts: As to where it really sat for years is a mystery, as the underside underbelly frame rails, floor pan and suspension is virtually free of rust vs the body. But wheel arches, lower rocker panels and spare tire compartments can easily be replaced and fixed along with dealing with the surface rust in other areas. Bottom of doors are pretty-free of rust (slight). Overall; it looks far worse than it really is. But, overall as a ...

Our Take:
  • 1972 Ford Capri 2000 GT: The Ford Capri was often referred to as the "European Mustang," crafted to appeal to the sporty coupe market in Europe. Launched in the UK in 1969, the Capri quickly became a beloved model across the continent. The 2000 GT variant came with a 2.0-liter engine, perfectly balancing performance and practicality. It was known for its sharp styling—those long hood lines, and sleek curves set it apart.
  • A True Barn Find: Finding a barn find MK1 Capri is like uncovering a piece of automotive history. It's a testament to its era, showing the design flair and engineering of early '70s European cars. While it’s got some rust issues, the fact that the frame rails and suspension are nearly rust-free is a minor miracle; Capri enthusiasts will know how crucial that is.
  • Restoration Potential: This Capri isn't just any coupe; with the additional Ford Cologne 2600 V6 motor, there’s a path here for creating an RS2600 tribute. The RS2600 was Ford's answer to the performance-hungry crowd of the '70s, sporting impressive credentials in touring car racing. Imagine transforming this survivor into a tribute to those racing legends—what a project!
  • Collector's Dream: As interest in classic European Fords escalates, the MK1 Capri's value only grows. Restored, it could cruise into car shows as either a street classic or a race-ready homage to Ford's racing pedigree. With parts available from both Europe and the US, the possibilities for this car are as wide as your imagination can stretch. And let's be honest, who wouldn't want a piece of that race-bred history parked in their garage?
