I know exactly what this car is and yes, i would ask you a bunch of questions at a car meet if it were there. you dropped a v8 in it,so I'd assume you're not in CA? nice Capri, dont ever sell it....
It took some creative body work to get the 76 styling on the 74 frame but as it’s officially a 74 there’s no need for smog. No point in doing a post-75 project car in my book. I mean, there’s plenty of point in doing it, it’s just that CA hates cool stuff and wants to punish those who don’t.
I can’t sell this thing. My dad bought it new and got the conversion kit from an outfit in Fremont. He bombed around in it for a while then sold it. Ran into the guy who bought it 2 years later and apparently he grenaded the engine shortly after taking it so it just sat on his property. Long story short my dad got it back and she is back to her old glory and then some. So I can’t ever sell it. If anything it’ll go back to my dad and he can do whatever he wants with it.
It blows my mind and really helps the intergenerational theft of inflation be revealed to think about how a 20 year old working at a grocery store could buy a brand new car AND do a new engine swap requiring a bunch of modifications to the car itself.
