Thanks Brett. I will figure this out.

The first is with my brother driving through the Peppermill with me in the passenger seat.

The second is the Sunday parade with my friend Tony driving my Buick in front of my brother in the Capri and me following in my Mustang. We love all of ...

Hey Gary, I have a friend who is into pre '32 cars and I go on tours with him in those era cars and his latest ride is a '32 Pierce Arrow coupe. But one of the members of his group has a '28 Model T Sedan hot rod with a 2.8 V-6 in it and he is probably 80. I've seen several 2.8's in various hot ...

Brett, I talked with some of the people from Europe about the different engines offered there and they were not fond of the V-4 but they had more powerful V-6's than offered here. They seemed to prefer the Kent I-4 to the V-4 and definitely wanted the OHC 2000 offered here.

I agree Brett. The small bumper cars are the only way to go. When I purchased the first 2 Capris in 2001 I searched for parts worldwide and found a person in Europe who had 3 sets of NOS small bumpers which I purchased so I could use them on the '74 cars and use those big bumpers for anchors.

Thanks Gary. We met Walt who is sitting behind the Capri 7 or 8 years ago and he always brought his '69 Torino Cobra Jet that you can see across the lane in front of the Capri. Last year he showed up with a '59 Morris Minor pick up restored to stock except that he lowered it 1 ½ inches and was running 14â€￾ Minilites. And we met Nova who has a customized '59 Volvo 544 that you can see in the front shot of the capri. Both cars were magnets for people. So we took the Capri and Cortina to a local show last fall and then I took the Capri to a couple of other local shows and the response was great. I've wanted people to appreciate these little cars forever and apparently now is the time. They would love to see all of the cars on this website.

My brother and I took the the Capri to Reno for the week of Hot August Nights along with my '64 1/2 Mustang 289 4 speed and my '72 Buick Skylark GS Stage 1. We have taken the Mustang and Buick for many years and I decided to see what the reaction to the Capri would be. We had hundreds and hundreds ...

How difficult were the motor mounts and transmission crossmember? Do you have pictures of them?

I have a '68 GT besides my green '68 and it needs full restoration so I am thinking about converting it to a 2.0 or a 2.8 V6 since I have several of the engines.

I had a '68 GT new and went to the Ford ...

Kiwi is that a plate from 1970 or the new black plate? I thought about getting the black Legacy plate they offer now since the original plates were black but I've had the white ones for years and have to turn them in if I order the black.

Thanks guys. I want to hear your ideas for a plate in NYC. I've been fighting DMV over my original choice for the Cortina for a few years now. I built a bracket and mounted the front license plate on the Capri and I am going to design a bracket that sets it back a inch or two but I think it looks ...

I've had the Cortina and Capri in storage for a few years. I have a 64 1/2 Mustang 289 4 speed and 72 Buick Skylark GS Stage 1 that I take to Hot August Nights and local car shows all of the time. My brother and I decided to take the Capri and Cortina to a couple of local car shows this month to see ...

Hi Greg,

I looked at my spare wheel today and the only casting marks are American Racing Equipment and 13 x 7 inside the rear of the wheel on the outer edge in the center.

They measure 13 7/8 inches lip to lip and the back spacing and front spacing from the rear face of the mounting flange is 3 ...

Greg,

The wheels on the Cortina are the original ones I got in the early ’70’s for a Pinto so they are probably 4.25 inch spacing or 107.95mm. The other two sets I have came on Capri’s I bought and I imagine they are 4.25 inch also. I can’t imagine American Racing Wheels making the same wheel in ...

Thanks Steve and Michael.

Greg,

The wheels are American Racing 200S models commonly known as daisy wheels. They are 13 x 7’s. They are pretty scarce now but you see them once in a while on craigslist and ebay. The company still makes them but not in 13 or 14 inch. If you want to know what the ...
