Look at the shape of the side glass, and the C-pillar, that is 60s Capri. Looks good. Any guesses on the engine? My guess is a 3-3.5L V6 tuned for 200+kW. Ford's take on a 350Z I think.

Some of the younger "whipper snappers" on this forum probably don't remember the Capri. Who remembers seeing it in the TV series MI5 with Bodie and Doyle, pommy versions of Starsky and Hutch..hey whatever happened to Huggy Bear from S & H?

Re: Visos = New Capri?

I don't mind that car. That said it definatly needs some work done, in some spots it just doenst look right.

@ Curls
Oi, im glad you said some,
"whipper snappers" like me devote most of their lives to early model cars, especialy fords.

Re: Visos = New Capri?

350 hp twin turbo six sounds alright, AWD wouldn't go astray aswell.
