Should I buy this 86 Capri RS??? New Pictures

Hey trying to get some advice about whether or not I should buy this 86 Mercury Capri RS White with grey trim, tan and grey interior, auto trany with 2500 stall, upper and lower hotchkis control arms. The car has some surface rust on the top of the roof and on the back deck lid the interior needs the dash pad replaced as most do and the drivers seat on the left side could be sewed up other than that this car is in great condition. The car comes with extra parts that the owner is throwing in from his other Capri… msd 6al box, blaster coil, t-5 transmission, clutch, Windsor heads, 302 heads, Eldebrock intake, carburetor, full exhaust system from hedmann, long tube headers. I talked to him yesterday on the phone and he said he would even give the the bottom end of a 331 in the other Capri. He is getting shipped out this summer over seas and is trying to get rid of as many things as possible.

sounds like a good car. In my opimion you would need to change the rear bumper and hatch to a mustang one. but i like the fender flares on those cars.

Here are a couple of pictures of the car that he's selling for $3000 and throwing in the extra parts.

damn, that car looks clean. For three grand, i'd jump on it. The 86 efi 5.0 capri's are harder than **** to find. I'm not a huge bubble hatch fan either, but those hatches are highly distinctive. that car will set you aside in the mustang/5.0 crowd. Grab it!

It looks good. I'm kinda partial to 4 eyed mustangs/capri's myself.

There is some minor surface rust on the top of the car and around the bottom hatch lid. If someone can tell me how to embed the pictures in the post I would.

Mine was a Capri and whoever converted it to a GT . Most people think the flared fenders look better on a mustang around here too. Plus mine is pre 82 so it doesn't have the bubble hatch . If you wanted to, you could put mustang plastics, but I wish mine was still a Capri. It has 93 cobra front and rear plastics as well as side skirts.
