Body:
IF you want it for 1986 COUPES, I'll post it when I have the chance.
It will take me much effort & time! 1985 Coupes, you can 4-get. By
the way, most V-8s were NOT McLarens!! But rather Capri RS models
for 1985. They also offered the 302 V8 in the Capri GS model, as an
option, so there are a few of them, as well.
