Got the door panel off to take a look at the door skin. I was all nicely sealed.

A door crease is no big deal...but I imagine it went back into the quarter so they had to repaint the entire side since there is over spray on the tail pipe.

A door crease is a big deal when your putting big money down for a car thats advertised as never been hit & original paint.
its only original once!

True, but I was thinking on how bad it could be. The whole side if the car could have been demolished and rebuilt. There shoul dbe no frame problems with just a repaired crease.

Got home from work. I don't see anything. so took pictures of the inside of the door. I'm thinking that maybe the car was keyed?

I posted on June 23rd the full report on the 1986 Capri that the new member purchased and is checking the damage on the drivers door. Note I'm the only person that knows for a fact that car was damaged before the auction ended. and it was repainted. please send the report to the new member.
Thanks Chris

I looked at the 1986 Mercury Capri today and it is just 5 miles from my home. When I arrived at his home, the Capri was on his drive way in front of his pole barn . Which had in it two 1967 Mercury Comet drag cars both with 427 engine, decaled and mint shape. Also a 1963 Ford Galaixe XL with a 427 engine, A car lift and engines and transmissions every where. and everything a car repair shop has in it. Plus a full body shop in the back ( hidden from the main road). I started thinking!
Here;s the details on this Capri:
The Hood had three dings in it, about the size of a dime. The cover under the hood was removed because of mice had started a home under it,
Drivers door has been repaired and repainted above the molding. You can see checking clear in the paint and overspray on the door handle. The paint is also on the mounting part of the handle that mounts to
the door skin. Paint is missing just north of the inside latch when the
door is open, about 3 inchs around. Door was tight on the hinge!
The roof had three large dents on it. (hail damage?)
Drivers rear QT Very good
Hatch back had a strange wave just to the left of the third brake light
it did not look right standing behind the car.
Rear bumper showed some fade between the tail lights
Front bumper and Air Dam Perfect!
Pass, rear QT had a gash about 1 inch long and half inch deep. near the tail light under the hatch. paint was missing
Gas struts would not hold up the hatch back
Pass, door was very good.
Pass, front fender had paint missing on the top about 1/2 long. Primer
only. good size spot.
Interior:
Very good and some what clean . But the drivers seat showed some wear on the corner ??? No wear on pedals. Console was good and strong with
no wear. But the drivers interior panel did show it was removed because
of body shop dust around the edge.
Glass very good.
Dash and all gauges looked perfect as did the dash cover and all
instruments
The car had a tilt wheel, but the owner did not even know it! I show him how it worked. This is for Sandy it was not on the window sticker that
the car had a tilt wheel Was this standard guys? My books show it was optional
Engine, I started it and it was strong, sounded good. He stated to me
" I have only changed the oil once!" on this car. WHAT!
With engine running I pressed down on the clutch and the pedal had very little pressure to it. it felt like the clutch springs had no life to them.
( I was thinking was this car used for drag racing?)
Tires looked to be factory installed but they did feel hard on the edges with dry rot.
Window sticker says car was delivered to Candy Lincoln Mercury and was transfered to Hines Park Lincoln Mercury some time in Sept of 1986.
Built date 06/86
Standard AM/FM Radio
No Locks power group
Pass, side exhaust pipe was bent up
Clean underneath, Some surface rust on steel parts,
The odometer ,I looked at the numbers.I did not get a strong fuzzy feeling
That's it! On a scale of 1 to 10. I feel this Capri is a 8.5

Tilt Wheel was standard on Capris.
8.5 outta ??? 10, I assume. That's pretty high for all that you mentioned that was not purr-fect.
Ya need to come over here, to critique mine. If I ever advertised it, 4-sale I think I'd say in the ad " Fair-to-good" condition.
Let 'em be speechless., when they arrive.
