(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Those things are so hard to find in good shape, especially a manual.

Time for the big goodbye to the Capri. The sale was final today. I'll be finishing a couple of details, then packing it up and storing it away to await transport.

QUOTE(KELTY360 @ Jul 14 2024, 09:57 PM)  That’s a lucky buyer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) This is a very good example of a Capri and rare with manual/V6. |

QUOTE(East coaster @ Aug 1 2024, 08:52 AM) So, what’s next? Hard to say. A big part of the process is waiting for an interesting car to pop up that can pass my vetting to be a viable project. Sometimes it takes a while to find it. A couple months is not unusual. |

Early Bronco! Six or v-8? This should be fun to watch.

QUOTE(KELTY360 @ Aug 29 2024, 04:05 PM) Early Bronco! Six or v-8? This should be fun to watch. V8. Original was 302, there is some question as to whether the original is still in there, or if it was replaced by a 289. No matter to me, either of those is fine. I hope to have it in the garage by next weekend. |

You’ll have buyers beating a path to your door. |

It's a '69, 3 of the 4 small side reflectors are MIA. I doubt I'll refit them, but way to soon to say for sure. |
