1979 Ford Capri 5.7 Chevrolet V8 Start Up Sound 

It really was nicely done and like usual, sounded much better and louder in person! I would love to have a 3.0S someday :-)

***** I think next year I'm going to remove my 2.2 pinto and go v8. Did you see what this sold for?? Wish I knew who owned it lol

Nice car ur estimate is too low,i think roughly the value has to b at least £10.000

Darren Stewart That was just the estimate set by the auction, it may have gone for less or more but I didn't get to see what it went for - thanks for the comment.

Ur welcome,very much doubt a general auction would have the kind of bidders there to get the best price out of it,if i was the owner i would have advertised it through classic ford magazines etc where the audience for that kind of specialist car would appreciate the work gone into it and would have paid a good price for it,hope it went to a good home

Darren Stewart I have to agree with you there - custom cars like this usually take longer to find the right buyer as it mostly appeals to a specialist audience. Better to wait out for the right price for a car like this in my opinion; an auction is a good alternative if you need to sell quickly though.

***** its on ebay now for 15k

uk boy He's asking quite a bit, not sure about the sound system in the back either!

Wrong... the Capri you are thinking of is the 1976 and 1977 Mercury Capri imported into the United States (same body as the German built Ford Capri, and looks just like this Essex Ford Capri which is a right hand drive car) ...This video says 1979 and therefore it IS a Ford Capri. A 1979 Mercury Capri was a Fox body car built in the United States which this clearly is not!
