This has to be the rarest Capri in existence! My guess is either a one-off factory prototype that escaped being destroyed by Ford, or a stupid owner. Tough call...

Hmmm, I'm thinking it's gotta be a one of a kind Ford prototype. There is NO WAY someone would actually post a car for sale unless they knew EXACTLY what they had, right? For $1500, I better jump on that one!
-
I think this must be another super rare prototype:

Don't know about that-I just saw a '95 for sale on Craigslist!!! No pictures but it did have the removable hard top.
-
I swear, I have BIG issues with idiots who have no clue as to what they are selling. Seriously, if you are selling something, at least take the time to know what you have. Not the little details, but at least the frigging year, make and model. And "since they are the same car". Really? REALLY?? How dumb do you have to be? My mother knows nothing about cars, and she knows they are different. My Daughter just turned 5 and knows the difference. Un-frigging-believable!

PS: I think we should have a "stupidist ad" type thread going.... that could be lots of fun!!!
-
Could be a long thread! Bet you noticed a big difference getting rid of that monster metal hood & replacing it with your Fiberglas one. Too bad they're a PITA to make!

Actually, the fiberglass hood has yet to be installed on a car! The hood on the 'Roo now is the stock metal hood, with the scoops grafted in. It was the prototype for the 'glass hood....
I am building a new "Super Roo, from the ground up, and the 'glass hood will be installed on that.
-
Ah yes, a thread for stupid listings might work very well. For the sake of other readers, we should probably screencap it & post the image so others can still see it if the listing goes down.
And HAH! Exactly the same as a miata?? wow. not even close!

i guess i missed a joke here, what wrong with the 91 for 1500 ??
-
They listed it as a fiberglass car.

Hmm, I wonder if they worked out all the bugs for the '95 model! Just makes you shake your head and laugh.
Russ, did you get a reply from the person with the "fiberglass" Capri? They have changed the ad and it suddenly isn't fiberglass anymore!
-
I did get a reply, and they said it was fiberglass! Someone else must have let them know it wasn't.....

Here's a 12Cylinder (!!!) Ford Probe Turbo, that the kid bought to swap the motor into a Toyota Supra!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/989-Ford-Probe-GT-5-speed-turbo-V12-/330562051896?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4cf7089f38 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/989-Ford-Probe-GT-5-speed-turbo-V12-/330562051896?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4cf7089f38)
(its a 12 valve 4 cylinder motor, which is in no way even remotely possible to swap into a supra!)
-
Damn!! I've always wanted to do this mod!! Looks like someone beat me to it.....

time to go to Florida, russ.... you pay for the gas and i'll drive

-
TWIN turbo? You think, or is someone just smoking something? Hell, let's all go and SPLIT the gas!
-
And who knew our cars had a Wankel Rotary engine????

I also didn't know we could get different body styles back in 93...apparently this is when ford first tried the "retro" look?

Did I missed something funny in the ad? Is it the price? Price's not that bad comparing to one i saw on Ebay $7,999 Buy It Now.
-
V tech is a Honda term, Variable Engine Timing or something. Russ,and I, are just wishing we had 200hp+ Honda Engines in our capris.For that I would pay 4,500!Rocky
-
Besides the seller saying the engine is a Vtec, he also says it has "fuel infection".....
I have a soft spot for people who don't proof read their ads, or have no clue what they are talking about, when selling an item.
-
So, is a fuel infection contagious? Because delusions of grandeur must be. $4500 for a 91 NA? I think not, my friends! Especially since I just had to sell my 91 XR2 with no issues other than cosmetic for $1650. Best of luck to him with a sick car!
-
Here's another one...
Funny Capri ad! (http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/2510546422.html)
Now we have a Mercury Mercur MR2 with a 4 speed transmission!!
-
Lol, I saw that one too! Perhaps 3rd gear is out, rendering it a 4 speed?
-
Crap, maybe it's Ian's ad!! LOL
-
Damn, how did i missed that word. I just read it as injection. Yea, the v-tech term i know, i used to have a Civic.
I'm just now laffing<-- to the infection.
Also because Russ is the parts-man, I read his comment wrong too.
I have a soft spot for people who don't proof read their ads, or have no clue what they are talking about, when selling an item.
I thought he said, He has a soft tops for people....

1991 MERC CAPRI XJ2 CONV (http://cnj.craigslist.org/pts/2514453916.html)
"1991 MERC CAPRI XJ2 CONV FOR PARTS CALL FOR PARTS 732-447-7565 RICH"
An Capri XJ2 huh?? Jag powered, I'm guessing. Probably V12?
-
on the 4 speed, its common for people to call a 5 speed a 4 speed because they look at it as 4 speed with over drive
-
Here's a *RARE* 91 Capri (mercury's version of the mustang!)
http://williamsport.craigslist.org/cto/2529065580.html (http://williamsport.craigslist.org/cto/2529065580.html)
It's an automatic, to boot!
-
i got a good laugh at this thread lol obviously these people never came on this site
-
I should slap a mustang logo on mine and sell it for thousands lol
-
Seriously, it's bad enough that some of these people are legal to drive....I just hope they can't breed!!
-
Matt- why are you making fun of the guy because he said his 91 was "rare"?? Shows what you know.....
Now this guy on the other hand....he understands what "rare" is all about.....
