1987 ASCMcLren was at Mecum Auto Auction Friday. High bid of $4,000.00. Did not sell. That's a sobering thought!

The verts just don't bring much $, probably never will unfortunately.

and I'll never understand that. It makes no sense. These cars are 10x better looking than their standard GT and LX cousins of the same years 87-90......

And yet the GT's, of the same vintage brought $2,000.00 more!

People just don't know we even exist, or that it's a different concept. I can understand some of it for 1987-1990. They GT's had a vert. But the Capri based cars? I think they look better and are much more differentiated from the standard Capri, which did not have a vert!

Of course I may be slightly prejudiced.

Was it a nice one? Is there a link to it on the Mecum site?

With the top down yes, top up, not as much IMO.
Plus I just don't think people want 2 seats when they know they can get a GT with 4.

Now don't go thinking I hate aero ASC's lol, I like them a lot but I just don't see them as desirable to most people....but I am not most people, I like Capri's and Bubble butts and cannot lie lol
