Remember the Capri?

I've owned an '86 5.0 Capri (red, 5-spd, SEFI, sunroof) for the past 16 years, currently 145K on the odo. I like to call it the "Unstang," as a testament to its heritage but also noting that it's just a bit different. I see very few any more, mostly 4's and 6's when I do, and they're pretty rare around here.

Doing a bit of resto these days (suspension, interior, weatherstripping, etc,) but the mill still runs sweet, just passed NJ emissions inspection. Bubble hatch is great for packing in cargo, and I like the smooth look. I once fit a full-size Tapmaster w/keg in the back, and a 27" TV in box another time. If I could get them both in there I could sell my house. ;-)

It's also older than most rice boys around here, and they have no idea what just kicked their arse when they see the tail lights fading in the distance. I get asked all the time: a) what is it (read the hood, boy) and then b) do I wanna sell it (hell no).

In 9 more years my boy can drive it, that's my goal.
