I mean..... why would you even bother continuing? Is there anything special about the pinto engine....
.... maybe I should buy it, I'm half way there as I don't need a chest merkin....

i like the "dry stored in a barn", with a leaking roof...
As with all old fords though, people will pay silly money for a rotten shell, and spend even more silly money fixing it up.
The money a mint one would fetch is rather mental.

how much fabrication to put a v8 in?
may as well build a space frame and tack the capri panels on...

istr the capri was originally designed with a V8 in mind then some ford marketing types decided we Uk punters didnt need one.
Will Holman from PPC mag has a Mk1 Capri with a Ford 302 fitted, i think its on Tb's too. Very cool car.
I actually really like old muscle. I'd really like a Mustang or Camaro SS or something similar. A smattering of the ideology behind Wrecks to Riches' Super Muscle Cars over the top and it'd be pretty damn awesome. 5 linked rear end on coilovers, proper brakes, a modern powerplant and a nice Tremec 6speed. Mmmmm

"galvanised roof" ?!?! on a 1977 Ford? you must be joking.
quality car though. would love a mint one of those. "The Professionals" stylee.
used to live in Streatham and there was a mint Cortina straight out of "The Sweeney" round the corner from me. lovely

i think he was saying the galv roof on the barn started leaking, and hence the "dry stored" car got wet

I wouldn't mind one of those.
With a modern Audi V8 engine, and perhaps a quattro manual 5-speed, to make it AWD...
