Re: 1979 Ford Capri 1.3 barn find for sale
all depends on condition and if it runs prices vary so much now
Re: 1979 Ford Capri 1.3 barn find for sale
it doesn't run yet but I think all it needs is a new ignition coil as everything else seems fine which im going to try and do
the interior is good the carpet has some marks on it but the seats are fine
and the body work needs a respray but the rust is not to bad it only appears to be surface rust

Hi can't help with the price estimate, sorry. Although I love the thought of just finding a car in the garden!Rm207 wrote:I have just found a 1979 ford capri 1.3l in a garden of a house

The rear wheelarch looks a bit rusty, probably coming from the inside which is not a good sign. The most important thing is the underbody, inner wings, A posts, rear spring mounts. Without knowing the condition of these key areas, it`s difficult to value. Good luck anyway!

Re: 1979 Ford Capri 1.3 barn find for sale
im in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire
the car has been sat there for 8 yrs but was well covered up
I have look underneath and it doesn't look bad at all, there is no rust round the top of the suspensions struts or on the leaf springs which I am surprised about as its been sat the for so long
I don't have the title yet but I don't think there will be a issue getting it

This car needs the RIGHT treatment to turn it into a proper weapon. I just hope a complete tool doesn't buy it. This car deserves someone that knows how to screw together a decent fast ford.

Fair play to the guy selling. Most dickheads that buy a house with an old Capri in the garden would send it to the scrappy.

Re: 1979 Ford Capri 1.3 barn find for sale
I would like to buy the interior. If the cars too far gone how about donating parts to keep other rare cars on the road
