Yea it doesnt have any rust and i had to fix a big dent in the fender, i wish it was a 5speed though, but the automatic is nice.

Wow, wish I was closer. I want to convert MINE to an automatic. Is it harder than just hooking up a new transmission and shift system? I noticed mine has a manual shift warning light, when obviously that is unapplicable seems its a 5-speed. Seems reasonable to me that everything should be able to hook right in once all the parts are transferred. IDK though, never done that. No clue if the ECU and other sensors would need to be swapped or not.

Hey Gost! I believe the ECU is different. As usual, Rocket knows for sure. I believe the ECU works with a separate Tranny ECU and controls the shifting that way.  Gus

Hi guys, i just put tags and insurance on my capri today and drove it all day, and it was awesome, im kinda getting used to the auto transmission, do these automatics hold up well?
