I bought this car from a guy in Green Bay and he said it came from an auction. (1976 Capri 2.3 Liter Lima w/4 speed Type F).

All the right spots are rust free and the interior is pretty sad but I’m working on that; the car didn’t run and the tires and brakes were shot when the guy dropped it off. I’ve been bitten by the Lotus/Locost Seven but, let see how long this car will stay with me…
