the bad news its been sitting in the Az sun for about 5 yrs
the good news, it only has 66k miles on it and no rust being
an Az car

and pretty complete for the most part.
Even the Recaros (although a bit rough) are there and Momo steering wheel.
Its an auto, which isnt my first choice, but I got it at a good price so Im not too worried.
Ive had many Capris (and cars period)
over the yrs, but this is my first ASC car.
Its currently Black with gold accents and tan leather interior.
(pics soon to come and more info)

washed off some of the dust today..
maybe Ill drop the tank tomorrow and clean that out
as it prob needs a new fuel pump too.
Thinking about starting a mild resto, at least with a new top
to keep the interior from getting any worse and then
maybe redo the recaros and go from here.

Not even sure Im going to keep the GT 40 intake on it, and
maybe put a stock upper plenum back on, I may just
extrude hone the stock one before I put it on.

the last owner either had Art Carr rebuild this trans, or the
installed one of their convertors during the rebuild.
