Question about Capri parts

(1/3) > >>

Hi fellow-Capri owners!

I am brand new to this site.  I have a 92 Capri that runs pretty good- just needs some tinkering here and there.  

My question - where is the best site to purchase Capri parts?  I need the following:
1. Timing belt cover and gaskets
2. Shifter kit for a 5-speed.  I'm trying to replace the gear shift mechanism that "fell through the floor" and is rigged at the moment.

Also, I have a silver colored hardtop for sell in decent shape.  Is there a market for this?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hey Gelkins! One source is Russ at cougar1prod@comcast.net. He's on site constantly. Just make contact with him and go from there. Gus

Gelkins-
I have a timing cover /gasket!  Email me direct at Cougar1prod@comcast.net with an offer!
Yes, there is a BIG market for the hardtops, as long as they are in good shape.  I sell 4-6 hardtops a year, and my suggestion would be to hold off selling it until next fall. Prime season for the tops is late October to mid-December, in my opinion.  I have a top on eBay now that I'm hoping will pull the $$ I need to recover my costs.  The original bidder backed out, although he paid me in full. I guess, technically, I'm selling the top for him now.
Top $$ for a hardtop, stand, bolt covers, cloth cover and tool is about $700. Add another $75 for the defroster switch and relay. email me some pictures of the top, and any accessories you may have, and I'll give you my "professional" opinion of what to expect when you sell it.

By the way:  Welcome to the forum!! Post some pictures of your car!!

Gus:Thanks for the advert!

gelkins:
Thank you very much Gus and Russ.  I appreciate your thoughtful responses.  

Russ, I will send you an email about the timing cover.

Hey Gelkins!  Welcome aboard. If you weren't so far away, I would entertain buying your top. I'm flying into Louisville sometime soon and then traveling to Nashville and then back home. Maybe we could meet-up.  Gus
