Regardless of options, they are nice looking machines. They are supposed to be 4 passenger vehicles (2 adults and 2 munchkins), but I'm wondering; If you fold down the rear seats, is the area open to the trunk, and do they have a "hatchback" type of trunk lid?
Just curious, Dick - 84 Capri 5.0 "bubble back"
Yes, opens seats to trunk. No, is not a hatchback.
Quite roomy IMO. I have hauled 8' 2x4's in mine. Evened hauled 12' PVC but it can bend a little.
Waaay back in the 80s, when I was finishing the basement in our new house, I did haul some stuff in that Capri, but I hauled the sheetrock and other stuff in a E150 van that I had at the time. Now, I keep the back seats folded down and treat the Capri as a 2-seater - handy for occasional groceries and other purchases.
I still love that car!

With the seats folded down, theres actually a lot of space in there!
People are surprised with what I've had in my '97. I think the biggest/heaviest was the engine hoist. Disassembled of course. trunk fully closed.
wondering if they've improved the convertible.......was somewhat disappointed with my '06: there can't be a pass-through from the trunk as there's a bulkhead, but would have been nice if the rearseat backrest folded down to form a luggage deck since the trunk is useless.
and.....all the car mags said the new for '05 body was longer with the extra length in the back seat. since my front seat backs touch the back seat, its hard to imagine it being any smaller!
