The Capri has been repainted but I am unsure of when. The paint has a nice shine to it but there is some overspray in various places on the vehicle. The body panels are all very straight and seem to be very solid. There is some filler in the lower section of the doors as well as in front of the rear wheels on the lower section.

The transmission seems to shift as it should but it does leak some oil. It does not want to stay in reverse unless you hold the lever in position. This may be just an adjustment be we have not looked into this. The brakes stop the vehicle but pull to one side and will definitely need to be checked out and gone through. It may simply be an adjustment. We will not let this vehicle be driven off the lot. It will need to be towed because of this condition. The lights all appear to work correctly except for the left rear turn signal. The temperature gauge and the fuel gauge seem to work correctly but the oil pressure gauge does not want to move. It looks as though the wiring was messed with as the fuse panel is not mounted and the wiring has possibly partially redone. The rear passenger windows do not want to go down with any of the switches.
