So my 914 is up on jackstands right now. Hopefully, not for too much longer. I picked up a 74 Capri (it's a basket case) for next to nothing, and it's sitting in the driveway. It's the next project. I have my brother-in-laws jeep in our driveway too. He says he's selling it, but I am not too sure. Then there is the mini-van and the jetta.
A guy I been chasing for about 2 years is finally getting ready to give me his 65 VW squareback. It hasn't run in a long time, but it looks ok. I haven't looked closely at it. Anyone in SoCal have some space where I could "rest" the squareback for a little while? I don't want to pass on it, but I might have to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Let me know. Thanks. |

Sorry for the hi-jack, but weren't the early Capri's equipped with a nice German engine? I had a buddy in highschool with one of those, and I seem to remember it being able to move pretty fast. Fun little car.

I had a buddy in highschool with one of those, and I seem to remember it being able to move pretty fast. Fun little car. The first ones in were a 2000 cc 4 cylinder. Engine was based on the Ford 105E block. Wasn't to shabby. The 2600 V6 was an "odd fire" engine that ate cam gears, but it was fast ..... wheeeeeee. Major problem was the rear quarter windows. The latch was glued to the window ..... one would be driving down the street, the glue bond would break and wella ..... window falls out and shatters. The 2800 became a smog dog. Since my memory is failing ..... this could be a lie. To go sedan racing in Eurpoe, supposedly the V6 was fitted with DOHC heads and was a screamer. I think Sam Posey drove it. Loved the cars! |
