Capris for Sale

Which one would you buy?
These Capris have been advertised on EBay over recent weeks & represent a variety of models in various conditions. The comments are mine & I appreciate that others may have a different opinion.

 

This 72 V6 is said to be in very original condition & even comes with a sun roof. The body looks good but the engine bay suggests that the car has not been running for some time. I would think it would still need a bit of time & cash to get it into top condition. It has been advertised for several weeks with a starting bid of $25,000 & has attracted no bids.

This 71 V8 (4.9litre) looks to be really nicely finished but is one for the rev heads & drag racers. Not really for me! $39,990.

This 73 V6 (2.6 litre) US model looks very original & tidy & has been advertised at a Buy Now price of $14,000 for some time. Maybe not a bad buy if you want a LH drive classic.

A Capri with a difference! This ute conversion would be a real head turner. It appears to be running a V8 but there are no photos of the engine or interior. It is registered in Tasmania with an asking price of $39,000.

From the photos this looked a really nice car. A 69 1600 Deluxe manual with white interior. Everything was original & it really looked well cared for. It attracted a lot of bids, was turned in twice with the second auction reaching $12,101. It was again relisted but disappeared after a couple of days. Perhaps the seller realised he should accept the money which seemed a fair price for this car.

This barn find 70 V6 was first listed at $9000, then re-listed & attracted 5 bids being passed in at $8,300. It was relisted again but disappeared off EBay after a day. It was finished in primer, with sun roof, and all parts included. The LH side engine bay had some strange sections & the compliance plate date was stamped 1207. Its location on the coast north of Perth may have restricted the number of bidders.

This 1970 XL was listed at $6,000 & received no bids & has not re-appeared on EBay. It was located in Bundaberg, looked OK, in going order with all parts. It has had various mods including Celica seats. The body looked OK but it did need some work. I was surprised it did not attract some bids.

This V6 manual in Melbourne was listed for $9000 but disappeared after a few days. It had been stored for 12 years in going order with spare parts. There were only 3 photos so it was hard to really see what had to be done. Also the year model was not shown. Maybe snapped up by a Capri fan.

This 1970 XL manual with light saddle interior sold reasonably quickly for $8,500. It had no rust, recently been repainted and had all the parts including some new bits. Some interior finishing needed to be done. It looked like it could make a really nice car & maybe the price was as expected.

This 71 Deluxe 5 speed manual was fitted with a Weber carbie & extractors. It is fully registered but the brakes need some work. The black interior was all there but the bucket seats were not original. The paint is in OK condition but there are some rust bubbles on the front RH quarter panel. It is located in Clontarf & the owner was asking $8000 via a private sale.
