1973 Ford CAPRI
Nice configuration No reserve Interesting project No registration title Chassis n° GCECNK27825 Engine n° NK27825 After the mythical Mustang, one of the most important commercial successes of the 1960s, Ford Europe is looking to create a pony car adapted to the Old Continent. The criteria? A simple, sporty, affordable car that could be customised as desired. This project gave rise to the Ford Capri, which was presented at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1969. In line with expectations, the car was sleek, with a fastback profile and a long bonnet, a style that was very fashionable in the United States at the time. Available with five different engines and a plethora of options, the Capri was able to adapt to all customers and their expectations, from the simplest finish to the most luxurious and sporty versions. In Europe, it was built in both England and Germany. It was a commercial success, with 1.2 million Ford Capri MK1s sold. In 1970, the range was extended and the beastly Ford Capri 2600 RS was born. After several restylings, the production will stop in 1986. This car was delivered new to the Ford France importer in Rueil-Malmaison in 1973, with the famous Ford Cologne 2.6 l V6 carburettor. The current owner has unfortunately misplaced the file and English title of this car (even if the car is a LHD), so its history is unknown. The car is in a fairly good working condition. However, it will need an important mechanical overhaul to be able to drive it again with peace of mind. The brakes work well, the gearbox is pleasant, but the V6 powered by a Solex carburettor seems to lack power. Cosmetically, the car is in quite good condition, but some signs of corrosion are visible on the underbody and in the boot floor. The paintwork is in good condition and the beige interior looks very good. Both elements show a major restoration done a few years ago. This Ford Capri 2600 GT with no reserve price represents a very nice opportunity for a project driven enthusiast to get back on the road!
