I believe this one has been picked apart here before, but if not, fire away!

Yeah. Actually I think it looked better before....as in it was shinier. Looks like it has gotten some more miles on her.

haha i know this car... and it has made it to FL! my dads friend is a dealer and he had a chance to pick this car up at auction in MI. i talked him out of it. so many ASC parts missing i told him it was not worth it. he did drive it and he said it drove nice.

I wrote the guy and asked if the buck tag was still there.... No answer. If I am not mistaken, that is really the only real way to tell if it is real in 85. EVERYTHING else could be bought for not that much.....

Yeah - you'll get real far with an 85 vin. Let's see what the next response will be.... Laughing

Something like - Just verified it and it is authentic.... Laughing

If you look at the engine compartment, she must have been blue. Doesn't look like the motor has ever been out to paint the engine bay....

I remember it well also. It's been a couple of years since its last ebay go around. Looks a little worse for wear. Too bad they didn't paint and stripe it back to factory colors. Crying or Very sad

Told him in front of the radiator support bracket. Might be a deal where the entire front has been replaced. That car looks a WHOLE lot in worse shape than it did before. Might be an illusion, but the pics now are not up to snuff enough to tell....

no it looks like it has been hacked... wires hanging all over this car needs some work to bring it back. but if it has no tag then its just another capri
