I was delivering some pizza today when I saw a nice 82 Capri on Scott Av in Shaler. It’s a 5.0, power everything, and the guy wants $3500 for it. It’s not what I’m looking for, but I thought someone here might be into it. His number is 412-720-7158 ---

> _Originally posted by 91GSteggy_ > **only blanyer would ever have any interest in this car…your 1 of a kind** ? An 82 Merc Capri is basically a Mustang… I thought the people on here would be more interested in this thing than I am. ---

Yeah, mechanically it’s the same as a 'stang. However most will agree they simply don’t look as good as the 'stangs. Of course, you seem to like the ugliest cars on earth so maybe it’ll be perfect for you. 😉 😃 😉 But even for a 'stang '83 is a pretty fugly year, and the power is down as compared to late fox-bodies too. There’s no reason to pay $3500 for that car! If you want a fox find a clean later 80s/early 90s LX notch back (lighter) or the usual GT if you want to join the original American V8 bandwagon (before there even was a LS1 bandwagon). -TJ ---
