Mercury : Capri 2600 1973 Mercury Capri 2600cc V6 4-speed 73000 org miles Picture(s) and Description:
1973 Mercury Capri. 73000 original miles, 2600cc, 4 speed. Up for auction here is my 1973 Mercury Capri. It has the 2600cc V6 motor and a 4 speed manual transmission. I bought it back in July 2002 from the original owner, it had 66000 miles on it at the time, it now has just under 73000. I did a lot of work on the car to get it roadworthy. I replaced the entire braking system : master cylinder, brake lines, rubber hoses, front calipers, pads and rotors, rear drums, shoes and wheel cylinders. The car had some cooling problems causes by a blocked radiator, so I had this professionally re-cored, and also fitted a vintage flex-a-lite electric fan. I replaced the gas tank with a good used one that was steam cleaned, fitting a new float and fuel pump. I fitted a pair of headers, and had a muffler shop make a true dual exhuast for the car, the rear body cutout was welded up. The body is in unrestored but good condition, I have pictures indicating the rust areas. There are spots on the drivers door, around the rear window, passenger side rear wheelarch, passenger door, and on the hood under the CAPRI lettering. The sunroof wasn't working when I bought the car, it was partially open so I just put some yellow electrical tape over it. I have heard that certain other European cars share the same sunroof, but never got around to fixing it. Other than that, it's in good shape for an unrestored 37 year old car. The interior is is good shape apart from a few areas. The drivers seat does not tilt or recline, there was a problem with early Capri seats, and it looks like the previous owner had attempted a repair. So far, I haven't found a good condition seat to replace it. The tops of the rear seats have cracked, but the foam is still in good shape, this could be reupholstered. The rear parcel shelf is cracked along the back where the vent holes are. The dashboard has two large and one small crack in it, but there are dash caps available to fix this. I have fitted an aftermarket steering wheel, a Denon radio/cassette with a CD changer in the trunk, and speakers in the doors. However, I still have the original steering wheel, the door panels (I used another set I had with speaker holes already cut), and dashboard panel (again, I used another panel I had that was already cut). I also have the original Ford AM radio that came with the car. The wheels are similar to factory Capri wheels, but they are actually from a Ford Cortina 1600E, they are wider and are chrome plated. I do not have the original wheels. The car drives OK, with just a few problems. It has a misfire above 4000rpm that might be due to the carb needing to be rebuilt, I have a rebuild kit for this. The steering has a shimmy, which is a common Capri problem. In my basement, I have a replacement steering rack, control arms with urethane bushings, tie rod ends, and urethane steering rack bushes that will go with the car if you are the winning bidder. As well as the original parts, plus the replacement parts like the steering rack mentioned above, if you are the winning bidder there is something extra. I have the parts to put a five speed transmission from a Merkur XR4Ti in this car. This consists of an aluminum bellhousing, clutch release arm, longer input shaft, V6 Merkur Scorpio clutch, and a longer clutch cable. All you need to do is source a T9 transmission from a manual Merkur XR4Ti, replace the input shaft with the longer one, fit the bellhousing, and bolt it up. You might need to change the pilot bearing in the crankshaft. This work is all up to you. I have genuine reasons for selling this car, but I will be very sorry to see it go. My wife and I are expecting a baby in September, so all the toys have to go to make way for a new family car. I do not drive this car as often as I'd like to, before today, I hadn't driven it for over 6 months. Having six other classic cars doesn't help, and they don't get driven either. Plus, like children, they all need attention, and I will only have less time once our baby arrives. Please do not ask what the reserve price is. It is around what I have the car insured for, that's all I am prepared to say. The car is available for COLLECTION ONLY from NJ zip code 08081. I would recommend bringing a trailer simply because of the age of the car. I cannot be involved in any shipping or transportation arrangements beyond being here when the car is picked up. If you are the winning bidder, here is how I would like to finalize the sale. I would like a 10% deposit paid within 3 days by PayPal or c ashiers check or postal money order. I would like the balance paid in cash when you pick the car up. Again, you are bidding to buy, please do not try and knock me down on the price once you get here, I have described the car in as much detail as I can. I am sorry to have to list all these clauses, but there are a few rotten apples on eBay that spoil it for the rest of us, and I am not going to take any chances. My eBay feedback is 100%, so you can be assured I am not out to take anyone for a ride. I will be adding/changing pictures on this auction, please click on the following link periodically to see what's new. If there are any pictures you would like, please ask and I will try to post them. http://home.comcast.net/~leesonic/ebay/yellow73capri.htm
