1979 Capri RS. This is a nice, clean little Capri. Has been well upgraded from stock. Includes a '94 302 from a Mustang, with approximately 70,000 miles. Motorsport F303 camshaft, E7 heads that are fresh, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, 670 Holley Street Avenger, Holley Electric Fuel Pump, Motorsport valve covers, Moroso air cleaner (will also include the stock dual snorkle), MAC equal length shorty headers, off-road H-Pipe, Flowmaster 44 series mufflers with dumps, MSD 6AL and Blaster coil, aluminum radiator, trans cooler, electric fan. Transmission is an AOD that has been rebuilt to Lentech specs and has a Lentech valvebody with electric overdrive switch. B&M Holeshot 3000 converter. 8.8 rear end with 3.73 gears. Aftermarket boxed upper and lower rear control arms. Has a stock shifter, but I will include a B&M Hammer for the AOD. Sport-Comp Monster tach with shift light. 10 hole wheels with Mercury centercaps. Radials with good tread remaining. No leaks, no problems. Trans shifts hard and solidly. Overdrive works flawlessly. I just rebuilt the carb, changed the plugs, cap and rotor and it starts, idles, cruises and runs perfectly at WOT. Car sounds great and is ready to go. I am only selling this car because I was able to buy back a cherished car after 10 years, and I can only afford one toy at a time!! I had plans for this car, which included a good set of heads. This car once had Edelbrock Performer heads and ran high 12's virtually un-tuned. Known issues are a small dent in the driver's side front fender (which is shown on the video walk around), the conversion to push button start (key start failed and I gave up tracing the wire after 3 hours in the Louisiana heat), the factory gauges don't work (except the gas gauge and the amp gauge, temp gauge just died so it could be something simple). Back seat is removed, although I do have one. It will need to be dyed to match. Black paint is a couple of years old and pretty good. A couple of bubbles on the pass side door. Interior is fair, no radio, center console gutted. The rear hatch is clearly and obviously from a Mustang LX. Basically, this is a nice little toy with the potential to be very quick, or can be enjoyed as is. It will burn the radials for as long as you wish as is. LOL. You can see an HD in-car video of me driving the car here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5pJLpujdJk and you can see a walk around of the car, and hear it run here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdssB7ZQy8M I do realize it is a Mercury Capri, not a Mustang as I repeatedly state on the video, LOL. Must be the heat! Anyway, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If you want to talk to me, send me a message and I will send you my phone number. This is a great little car, just looking for a new home. I wish I could keep it!
