Picked this up last week, '87 coupe with a 4eye front and rear conversion. Still running the SD system, T5 and 3.73's in the rear. Sand Beige interior is amazingly clean, especially since she used to be a State Trooper car.

It's just an ordinary run of the mill 1985 CApri RS with a 302 and a T5. 150k miles and completely stock (including the original clutch) save for the 5 lug conversion. The guy I bought the coupe from is picking her up on Friday (made him a killer deal). Here's a few pics -

Very clean! I assume this is why you are putting the Coyote back to stock?

For the most part. That and I don't want to build the motor in the blue car yet. Over 700 hp was fun, but it was hurting the stocker, needs to be forged at that level if it's going to live for a while.

Wow. You don't see bubblebacks very often anymore. Very cool.

**Phuck Phace** · 11-20-2012, 01:02 PM

Nice.

Can't, the coupe is still 4 lug and the Capri has been converted to 5 lug.

If you think autos are faster, then you've never raced someone that can shift. I've been doing this a long time and can row with the best of them. And for the record, she goes 11.60's now. Wonder how fast she was with the KB installed?

Even though the Bubbleback Capri's are ugly as sin I want one.
