 Wonderful Blue Capri, show car or driver, (ROAD TRIP CAR)   by 2nd owner 1973 , I am selling this for the owner who does not have computer skills, When he brought the CAPRI over to my house to photograph, it is the wonderful example of a redone, modified car,

 I was amazed at the car, It is so clean, you can eat off the engine.. . Probable the best kept original and modified car I have ever seen. It paint is crisp and bright, (camera does not capture the color) the white on the top, seats, rear tire package is white and not stained or tarnished. All of the chrome is 95 to 98% with only one tiny ding in mid of the front bumper. Bumperettes are excellent rubber, grill perfect, front spoiler or air damn is added and looks perfect. Rear lights have been changed because original were degraded. Everything works on the car lights, horn, etc. Full Owner's Manuals, advertising brochures, etc, Factory maintenance manual goes with car about 1.5 inches thick, cost $35.00 in 1980. Pick it up in Scranton and drive it to Florida, California etc. will go anywhere.A wonderful summer road trip use the CB to talk to the truckers and others in route, what a blast. This CAPRI looks and drives like a NEW CAR. Why have a common Mustang or Chevy when you can get this Capri, you will not see another.

Wait till you read the additions that work perfect... all of these interior additions were around 1980 and have only 1500 miles on the car since their installation .1. power antenna, 2. Power windows, 3. power trunk lid, 4.interior trunk lights 5. interior trunk trim including, first aid kit, tool kit. 6. Realistic CB Radio. 7. ZT Dynamic Travel computer which tell mileage, battery voltage, outside temperature, also works a cruise control. and some other functions (has a manual) 8. New 1980 Kenwood Stereo radio, with a  cassette player, with rear speakers in shelf behind rear seats and in  front doors.
The running gear and engine are maintained but not traveled on, since the older build up of 1500 to 2000 miles ago. Engine starts and runs fine (will probably need a tune up sometime), Has new rack and pinion steering put in 5 years ago with 200 miles on it. Tires are up, lots of tred, good pressure, no sign of dry rot probably installed 1990.

THIS CAR IS KEPT
in the owners garage and is climate controlled (heated in winter and in the mountains of PA, no humidity) The owner is very detail orientated. Garage is perfect. like the car.
Car has been in numerous auto shows and has won awards in modified class (ACCA) (award goes with the car) , This car is a head turner wherever it goes, It is almost perfect and get great mileage as well.

RETURN THE CAPRI    to original. The Continental Kit, would come right  off, and the bumper bolts back on. The console in the inside can be removed but you would loose some goodies. The trunks has been redone in carpeting with  a first aid box, that would have to go back to cheap original stuff.Owner may or may not have the original tail lights way in the attic but he can't be sure, he remembers them as not in the best of shape, whatever is there in the attic, you get. The electric windows would probably have to stay.

IT IS sure to bring a value to people for years to come.
a great investment
Call the owner at (Fred) at 570 842 8847 he will give you more info. However, any bidding goes through Ebay. I was adverse to listing this so low priced without a reserve...but he wanted it..He is wanting this car to go to the right person. A box of original parts go with it.

Thanks for looking

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
