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 ...
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 survivor MK1 Capri it is a very solid car with lots of potential for the right party. Body lines are straight, doors, trunk and hood fit extremely well.
Its a stock 2000cc, automatic trans, 76,000 miles and it does run relatively well. The automatic trans shifts excellent. But... a full restoration is what it deservingly needs.
It shows lots of exterior body rust around wheel arches and lower rocker panels, front valance and trunk. The engine bay and other areas are surface rust. As It does have a very straight body (hockey stick is straight/dent free) tail lights, chrome bumpers are near perfect. The side rear windows are Lexan, as it has only one rear side window. Interior is stock and intact. There is lotsa potential here for a number of directions: a Stock MK1 2000 GT Capri, RS2600 tribute/clone or a Restomod MK1 V/8.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
the car ALSO comes with a stock FORD Cologne 2600 V/6 Capri motor. As this MK1 Capri is the perfect candidate for a RS2600 tribute/clone of FORD of Europe's AVO famous racing RS2600 MK1 Capri's. It looks rough for the rust issue but... amazingly it HAS very solid bones for a MK1 Capri survivor.
BUT, AS an Investment Project; the 72' RS2600's are worth all the expense to create one as a clone/tribute. They're on the rise and very desirable collector cars.
It COULD BE a nice RS2600 example with the addition of the iconic Cologne fiberglass fender's, a built 2600 V/6, T9 trans. As everything needed for a good tribute RS2600 redo can still be obtained from many sites in Europe (the UK) even Team Blitz USA to turn this 1972 MK1 Capri into a very desirable RS2600 racecar (in looks or real function-for vintage racing) or just a classic street version of the RS2600 tribute collector.
The Capri HAS a clean Title and will come with a Bill of Sale from ROKSTOCK (if that makes any difference, to some it will, some it wont)
The Capri sits on a brand new set of tires, has a front-end Alignment, recent brake work, muffler/exhaust work and is a very drivable car (I wouldn't go cross-country) but, very drivable. And as a European Ford MK1 Capri (and appreciating in their values by the year) in its AS IS condition; its priced to SELL. Car+ V/6 motor...
