Lol, that one only got clicked on because stuffed cougars.

I really want a Fox Capri to rallycross but it may end up being a Fox Mustang. I was trying to get creative and see if a slightly bigger (which is unfortunate) cougar or t-bird was a good option or not. I mean, if their was an amazing example for drastically less money it’d be worth considering at least.

They do allow trucks but I’m not interested in a pickup for it.

Nice find on the EXP! But I really want to go RWD for maximum fun. I think the EXP would be really, really cool though and I was looking for one just yesterday. There was a black one for sale near me not that long ago for about 2 grand.

Well, a RWD pickup would be almost impossible for RallyX, no weight on the rear tires at all haha.

Detroit Metro area is my CL area.

Current possibilities:

http://limaohio.craigslist.org/cto/5747028600…

http://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/cto/5720604978…

Max budget is about 2500 bucks but that’ll depend on what the Montego sells for.

If it’s a fox body I absolutely need to buy a strut tower/firewall brace, sub frame ties, new rear control arms immediately before racing it, I’d like to do some nice tires and an extra set of rims as well. Hatchback (fox bodies) lend towards me being able to drive to the race and then swap tires when I get there - should be room in the back for the extra set.

Preferably RWD, V8, Manual.

1972 MERCURY COLONY PARK STATION WAGON - $600 (LINCOLN PARK, MI)

Kinja'd!!!

the guy is standing 20 feet back, struggling to get the whole car in the shot

Kinja'd!!!

i know i forgot to ask the first go around, but ford only?? and i saw that most of your search turn ups, were around the mustang platform. also how much work can you/willing to do yourself....... say a body here, or a motor there?


Kinja'd!!! MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > Die-Trying
08/30/2016 at 13:26

I’d prefer it running and driving, I can handle some mechanical and almost no body. I can tear a part a motor (but no experience on transmissions).

I would prefer Mercury - Ford will do. Smaller the better because lighter and more nimble = better race car.

And the first one doesn’t help it’s basically what I’m about to sell in worse shape! haha

In general there’s always cool stuff for sale on the Detroit area craigslist - it’s why I spend so much time on there hahahaha. That’s why I’m also taken by surprise when people are like “I can’t find this type of muscle car”.

Need complete restoration, may as well not see the pics.

And I can’t use an older than Fox Mustang, you can’t easily (and cheaply) tie the frame to stiffen it.

okay..........some of these guys that put the “need total resto” have already gotten beaten down on price and condition by “real deal” shops and “experts”.......... does it need to be “pretty”??.....

This being high on my list kind of proves it doesn’t need to be pretty:

And if this one didn’t have what I expect is a massive leaking hole in the roof I’d probably already own it:

I’m assuming that the guy selling the one with a 351 one it doesn’t realize having a 5 lug wheel setup is a HUGE deal.

I wonder how much it takes to seal up a sunroof...
