Sorry, the seats are gone.

Sorry -

This note was a reply to tfs2121 from my thread about the McLaren wheel I had for sale. I must havve hit the wrong button, as it showed up as a new thread instead of the answer to his ques ...

No way to tell - all kinds of parts show up there. Usually a bunch of early Mustang stuff, and a lot of early Ford V8 stuff. I like it because it's mostly guys bringing "real" greasy old ...

The Swap meet is at the Wayne County Fairgrounds in Belleville, MI. The address is: 10871 Quirk Rd., Belleville, MI, 48111.
The fairgrounds is just North of I-94, and West of the Belleville rd. (E ...

The condition of the seats is poor - the leather is damaged, and the bottoms of the seat frames are rusty from sitting around in a shed. There are a couple pics in the "Other" gallery.

One 15" McLaren Capri wheel for sale. Has been painted red, and painted white over top of that. Appears to be straight and never curbed, but has way too much paint on it. Will have at the sw ...

I have two tan Recaro leather seats that I bought many years ago out of a junkyard '85 McLaren Capri roadster . I had planned to recover them, but never got around to it.

Sorry, I messed up in my last note (I have corrected it now). The MTR Cassette model was NOT offered in Capri, the base radio was just an AM/FM MTR. This radio was available with or without Premium ...

The AM/FM MTR radio was the "Standard" radio for the Capri in 1985 (no option code because it was "standard equipment"). The radio was offered in two models, with or without Premium Sound. Again, i ...

According to the picture, that IS the correct radio for the window sticker shown.

The radio would be known as an "Electronic AM/FM Stereo Cassette", option code 586. Your window sticker does ...

I am not exactly sure what you guys are trying to sort out on the radios, but maybe I can help. I worked for Ford for over 30 years - most of that time was spent in Ford Audio Systems. From about ...
