To the Capri Lovers out there.
When I bought the Capri I was working across from Detroit, Michigan. The problem was I couldn't drive it to work. The guys from the " Hood " we're stealing cars out of our parking lot. I am talking cars that my coworker just took delivery on and I went back out to look at the car and it was gone. So I didn't drive it to work, I took it for a drive once in a while. When the plates expired in 1988 I just drove it down the street and back. Later I trailered it to a couple car shows. As far as that drivers door goes! It came from the dealer that way, I didn't see it when I picked it up that night. I did check with dealers body shop parts manager who lives across the street. He told me the records were destroyed when they went to computers. I never took it back to the dealer for any thing. I was going to use it for my winter car but was talked out of it by my wife and friends. The Capri is only "ORIGINAL" once and when it's been painted the secound time it "NOT ORIGINAL" anymore. We thought someone would enjoy it a lot more then us. I am still in to Mercury's but they have to be Factory race cars like AFX & BFX Comets with 427's & 289 ci HiPi's.
