My dad had one of these when I was 7 or 8, a brown '76. We called it the "Crapi". Then he bought a brand new '82 Capri (same platform as the Mustang)...dark blue with white interior. My first ride was a blue/blue '79 with the horrible German V6. Lord I loved that thing...here's a pic of the last Capri I owned.

The car I drove the most as a 17 year old was the 1974 GTO, Bucaneer Red with matching interior, rubber mat (not fancy carpet here), floor shift auto on the floor and a 12" steering wheel, she had a warmed over 350, Holley high-rise intake and 4bbl carb and a shift kit. Mine never looked this good, but here is a good shot of a stock appearing car.

I don't care if I get laughed at anymore.

I was flipping cars by the age of 18 so I couldn't pass on this 67 Caddy Vert for $500.00 ! Everyone made fun of me until they saw me turn the rear tire into a gob of melted rubber with a spark throwing steel belt. I think that alcohol may have been involved.

Pulled over on a snowy New Years Eve , the officer told the rear passengers to "get off the balcony". The car could hold 9 0r 10 with the top down.

Your destiny was sealed with that 427 black plate If you still have them effective july 1st this year they are eligible for the YOM program and DMV can legally issue them back on the car.
