!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , photodump eventually. Our garage now consists of the Audi, a Land Rover, the 'Stang, a Saab 9000 Aero (soon to be for sale, most likely), and the neon (soon to be gone though). Just need a Japanese car and the collection will be mostly complete

Cannot get enough of those early 4-eyed foxbodies. I like the 4-eyes in generals, but the early ones with rear louvers and the blocker taillights just sing to me. Very clean too, nice grab!

Very nice.

I love the '82 GT, it's the best looking fox. Also, I love the TRX wheels. Good luck finding tires though.

That's what I've heard. Hopefully we won't have to find them at all.

I'm not sure about it though...When our family buys cars, we're usually thinking more about the resale than the cost. Even if it is clean, I figure it still may be harder to find a buyer for an earlier one than the more well-known foxbody. I tried to tell this to my dad, but he was too busy searching for his old "Boss is Back" poster in the basement.

One of his first cars was a Fox, to needless to say he's excited.

growing up my neighbor had a Mercury Capri RS like the one below, but with the wheels in your pic. He also had a '67 Corvette and frankly I liked the Capri better.

I posted about the Capris a while back. I love them, maybe even more than the Foxbodies.

I'd guess that as far as resale goes, you probably wouldn't get much better unless it was an SVO or a '93 Cobra, for the most part they're all worth about the same, and one this clean and stock condition should be worth quite a bit more.

I completely understand his excitement, it was my first car too (though mine was a very ratty '79 I4, though I did work up to an '86 GT). They aren't the best vehicle out there, but they have a character that can't be duplicated.

As much as some people would cry. I would love a Capri with a 86 mustang front end. Its more angular. And another thing to make Capri fans weep I'd remove the hatch and put a mustang hatch on with no wing. Angles everywhere! This coupled with the fender flares. Hubba Hubba.

Love it. but let's be honest we all knew I would.

I love that it's the Capri instead of the Mustang!

AN '82 GT? AWESOME!!!!!!!

My father says hello from the one he bought brand new!

I hope he has fun! Also: take the TRX wheels and tires off, and save them for a car show, tires are $400 a piece from Coker tire. A nice set of Saleen/Riken/ARE mesh wheels would look right at home. If you have any questions on the car, let me know, I know just about everything about these cars.

Congrats on your purchase - send some photos and any story on your purchase to tips@dailyturismo.com and I'll be sure to write a follow up story! Sweet car and extremely well purchased at $8500 IMHO. Prices on that beast should only go up if its kept in good shape...but if I knew the future I'd probably be a broker instead of broke...

Love the '82 foxbody! I've been looking for a 9000 as a first car, too. I would love to have those cars in my garage...
