I drove a brand new Capri right out of the showroom at Dryden Motors.I believe it was a 1981 white with body kit,rear window and taillight louvers,302 four barrel with a 5 speed.After that I tried out a 1980? Camaro Z28 350 4 speed and remember thinking what a pos(?).

Oh my early 70’s maybe start in 73 , don’t think they lasted past the Fox body so 1978 would be the last?
A Red V6 ( 74-75?) parked at Dads garage lot when I was younger - was a great looking car , I think the owner wore the paint off by washing and waxing it.

This was the end of the line for Capri in the UK, the Brooklands 280 Turbo, sold in 1987/8.

Interesting side note on the early 1972 -3 2600cc 60 degree V6. It had a V4 variant that was used as an industrial equipment. The pistons etc were all inter-changeable.
These solid lift engines were noisy due to the flat tappets. The design was used by Ford in other vehicles like Bronco II and such.

I do remember the clatter of the solid lifter engine. Kind of seemed out of place for the build time.

Does the horse on the Mustang grill always point in one direction ? If so what direction and why?
bonus point for those who have seen my car in the last 4 summers
what’s different about the horse on my grill?

Pointing left is correct , heading for the ditch was not the reason I had hoped for LoL
