Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1979 Ford Capri S, finished in a rare Apollo Green with only 100 produced, presents a unique opportunity for restoration. It features sought-after Fishnet Recaro seats and has undergone recent mechanical refurbishment, including new tires, brakes, and a high-power alternator, though it needs a brake servo replacement.

Condition 

7

The car is presented in Apollo Green, a rare color, and features original body panels and a factory-correct interior with Fishnet Recaro seats. It has been dry-stored for 23 years and recently returned to the road with several refurbished or new components including alloys, tires, wheel bearings, brakes, alternator, starter, radiator, and fuel pump. However, it requires a new brake servo due to an air leak, indicating it needs some minor reconditioning.
