Default Capri Experts

What do the Capri experts on the Forum think about this 3000 GT on ebay? It looks like a nice example...

18k was a fair price I think, not cheap by any stretch. Although I took my Capri for a drive the other day and when I came out of Bunnings there was a bloke waiting for me - he was throwing figures around a lot higher than that - I was adamant i wasnt interested in selling however in hine sight...........I should have got his number

So I guess the moral is your car is worth what someone is willing to pay. My preference is for the Capri with the unusual combination - paint colour / interior colour and ones which have been optioned up - map light / spotlights / factory sunroof. These examples are the ones which will get the most in my opinion. V6's are a mile ahead of the 4cyl as far as market value but I had a 4cyl for 20 years and thought it was a great car for a pinch of the price...

hey wogboy....I bought mine in 1990
but a few things got in the way...........
wife
2 kids
1x Eh Holden bare metal rebuild
1x green Capri that kept wearing out (now sth o' the border)
half a dozen job changes
numerous holidays in Oz and o'seas
house extension
BUT it was always lurking in the garage
...waiting, waiting....
......and finally on the road in 2010 for the Muster.
Clearly, I started young-ish and am now old-ish (on the outside anyway).

And one daughter did benefit from it by way of 'arrival' transport for Yr12 graduation dinner (not a single other Capri turned up !!!)

My youngest thinks the '70 Capri is embarrassing ...full stop, no further discussion.
But is quite happy to cruise around in the bright red '77 Stag (esp. when roof is down !!!!). Trouble is, she looks pretty cool when doing that....uh-oh !!

Currently eyeing off something Italian and no roof, but usual problem, need to make space.

It's rougher than the red GTV6 that recently sold for 18k, so I initially didn't expect this to go above 12-13k, but stranger things have happened.

You could put a fake moustache on and do the Magnum PI thing in a Ferrari 308GTS/B targa top (that would really embarrass your daughter ), but it sounds like you're thinking Alfa Romeo Spyder or similar?
