I’m a big fan of rare tuner cars, models built by aftermarket companies with a legit helping of performance-minded components. Now, I like to consider myself an expert on these limited production models, but I’ve never heard of this hotted-up Capri: built by a company called Rokstock, it added a turbocharger to the Capri’s already respectable powerplant, dialing up the output to a healthy 180 b.h.p. That’s a respectable number now, but it was out of this world when the Capri was still in showrooms. The seller has listed his rare specimen here on Barn Finds Classifieds where he claims less than 12 Rokstock cars still exist out of a batch of only 40 made by this skunkworks operation.
I don’t really have any reason to doubt that claim, as there’s next to no information available about this fortified Capri. According to justacargeek.com, Rokstock was owned by Richard O’Kiser, who had a reputation for engine building and tuning. He saw potential in the little Capri, and went well beyond just the turbocharger to improve performance. He had the suspension firmed up as well, along with an additional axle locator fitted to the rear. The goal was to create a track day weapon, and with close to 200 b.h.p. on tap, it’s safe to say it would find plenty of prey to hunt down on the back straights and in the corners. This one has been further personalized with rear window louvers and a center taillight garnish bearing the model’s name.
You get the plaque with this one that confirms the origins of the modifications, leaving little doubt that this Capri was one of the select few to benefit from the period tuning. When you Google a bit further, you’ll find an old Road & Track article that reveals the overall build included an AiResearch turbocharger, modified carburetor and distributor, special headgaskets, exhaust manifolds, and timing gears, steel-braided hoses, and high performance spark plugs and wiring. This was not just slapping a turbo on the engine and calling it a day; in fact, the same article goes on to state that Rokstock disassembled the engine, cleaned all components, checked all clearances, and then bolted it back together with the aforementioned modifications.
The same article goes on to report that Rokstock kept going with the long list of enhancements, including larger anti-roll bars, Bilstein shock absorbers, rear radius rods, poly bushings in the front lower control arms and rear leaf springs, and upgraded brake pads at all four corners. The rear window louvers I mentioned were also part of the package, along with the rear spoiler, front air dam, and Cibie driving lighs that replace the stock headlight assemblies. The interior comes with deeply bolstered Recaro-like seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a turbo boost gauge. Considering the Rokstock “conversion” added $12,000 to the purchase price, you certainly seemed to get your money’s worth – and at this asking price, it’s an even better buy for a rare piece of motorsports history you don’t see all that often.
Cool car, never heard of them but with today’s electronics bet you could dial in some real punch. Pulling air through the carb where it’s at had to be a task for a cold start. That Ford 6cyl was a tough little motor from what I remember. Could be a fun car.
somehow this car brings back memories of the South African Perana Capri’s from the early seventies, with a 302 HO they were unbeatable in their class
Actually,it’s Richard O. Kiser.I bought a bunch of stuff from
him when I had my ’73 Capri 2000.
I remember Pat Snow,who worked for him.When where they
both are now?
I also ran into him in Crescent City,CA.He was driving his Black-
Capri II with one of the nicest set of wheels that I’ve seen.
Orange you glad it’s got a turbo!
Oh ho ho yes!
GM did the same in 1973 in South Africa with the Chev (Vauxhall) Firenza coupes.
They also stuffed s 302 V8 ex Camaro into the little coupe that only weighed 2500lbs.
0-60 took only 5.4 secs with a top speed of 140 m.p.h.
When I lived in Portland Or, I worked with Rick very early in the RokStock history. He didn’t want to get into the 2nd gen Capris at first. At that time he was working on the original accessories catalogue. I moved from Portland in 1977 and lost track
“lost track”? was the punn intended?
Brian… ROKSTOCK Rick here. Give me a call or Google ROKSTOCK Capri hit on the Oregon Hot Rod site or better yet email me at rsrturbocapri@gmail.com. Let me know where yer at and how yer doing. Hope things are Good. Classic Ford Magazine just did a shoot/article on the latest Capri (up 4 sale) I just finished. Also just finished a replica FIA Cobra also up for sale. Anyway would love to hear from you…. ROK
Hi Richard….Hope you are doing well. Went snooping to find you and see if I can get any further info on your the Capri ll project car that you built years ago. What was involved? It has resurfaced in my neck of the woods here and I am going to go see it tomorrow. Trying to get any other info on it and would appreciate any help on it.
I have been along term Capri guy Bought a new first year 2600 mark l and have an original Capri ll This is interesting and I am trying to find out what was involved with the build.
Give me a shout anytime 770-312-3524 or Carrerajon@aol.com
Thanks! John Hinds
Hi Rick, saw this old conversion for sale and was wondering if any parts are still kicking around. I almost put a turbo on mine 39 years ago from Dobi but opted for the Offy intake with Holley 390 and head work. My first car is still going strong. Still get itchy feet to do some more…
Peter D
I’m just wondering whereabouts the turbo is. Wouldn’t it be better to have 2 of them and 2 separate inlet manifolds?
If the turbo’s after the exhaust joint, it’d be very laggy, wouldn’t it?
The turbo is mounted directly behind the air intake. These are single exhaust systems. So it should be first in line on the exhaust. If that helps?
Sorry, again. Not sure if your referring to sequential turbo or parallel turbos. But this appears to be standard set up for single turbo system.
Damn! Now what am I gonna do with my 50Gs?
Anyways, here’s Rick recently http://oregonhotrod.com/rok_stock_capri.htm
Sold already?!! Every time a Capri II turns up on here, it’s gone the same day!
Hi this is the owner of the car the car didn’t sell it’s just a technical issue
https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3OTEyMDI0MjY5ODEzMDA4?utm_medium=copy_link
The car it’s not sold it’s just a small issue I accidentally pressed sold
I had a brown 1974 Capri with the 4 cylinder engine. It was a fun car. Never missed a beat. I recall the ROK cars.
GM did the same in 1973 in South Africa with the Chev (Vauxhall) Firenza coupes.
They also stuffed s 302 V8 ex Camaro into the little coupe that only weighed 2500lbs.
0-60 took only 5.4 secs with a top speed of 140 m.p.h.
The seller went all out with that professional photography sesh.
Cool car ( except for the hood ) if it ever gets restored.
I have number 9 ROKstock,the turbo sits right in the front pass side corner,I must admit i have not seen that hood on the ROKstocks I have seen.
This car was special made for Pat Snow and it was special custom made for the magazine American popular Hot Rod as you can see on the plate
I was mistaken it wasn’t custom made for Pat snow Pat snow worked for Rokstock like someone else mentioned in previous comments that Rick it can confirm that
They also had Racemark steering wheels,just for giggles google what those are going for nowadays.
I was the passenger in a 73 or4 capri at about 17 years old. It was a 15 year old car and almost positive it had a straight 6 , this was Canada so don’t know if engine was stock or if someone swapped it in which is popular round here with lots of good engines sitting around in rusted out vehicles. So the car was fast we were racing a 70 something 2 door Pontiac lemans with a chevy 400 small block on an old country road 100mph on the straight aways we came into some S turns the Pontiac in the lead the driver of the Capri was young and not a great driver, he eventually crashed for the last time a few years later, this day he lost his nerve coming into the turn and jumped on the brakes despite my advice to get #@#*#* off the brake man as we slid off the road at I’d say at least 60 or 70 mph and came to a complete stop into the side of driveway culvert the engine somehow became locked into a wide open throttle and was screaming so loud at some unimaginable rpm that we were panicking to get out but the doors didn’t open any more and the driver who was wearing a seatbelt ..i was not .. couldnt get the belt to unlock and had to slid out of it locked and then out my side window we ran about 100 feet away. I don’t how long it went on but then a quick bang and it stopped and then whistled like a bomb dropping from the sky for a good 5.or 10 minutes. I ended up with 2 black eyes alot of stitches across the forehead and what felt like about half a dozen cracked ribs.driver more or less uninjured . Wear your seatbelts boys and girls. Good times, good cars too if you know how to drive them..we were on that V8 Pontiac and it was fast I was in 2 more accidents with the same guy driving before I vowed to never be in a car with him behind the wheel again
God love him

Here You can see videos of the car running and video of the underneath the car
Loved the capris, they were all over our small town
My buddy had one with the 4cyl all done up in orange with chrome bumpers and minilites
I had a metallic brown 73 2.6 v6 4speed with chrome bumpers.
Another friend had a brown 2.8 automatic with the big bumpers
A lot of great memories in that car
Wish i would have held on to it now, lol
I believe this car was a project car between ROKSTOCK and Popular Hot Rodding. I believe that is what the plaque is for. I remember this car. Rick would be able to confirm this though. And as far as the price goes, ROKSTOCK were the Singer of their day. I have a ROKSTOCK dash plaque on my 71 2.0 Capri. Nothing else but….
Buni, I don’t have an Instagram account(link requires logging). Can you post the vids where no log in is required/or post them to You Tube/Vimeo?

Here is the video I posted on YouTube
So…where in OH are you?
In Richfield
Buni… ROK here. Thank you so much for giving one of my RSR turbo Capri II’s so much respect and value. And your right there cannot be more than 10 RSR turbo’s left on the planet. As we built in-house 18-19 RSR cars but, we also sold another 10/12 RSR turbo packages with serial numbers through our mail-order ROKSTOCK Capri catalogue operation. ROKSTOCK was the first aftermarket parts and accessories company in North America and was started even before the Ford Capri was brought into the USA. ROKSTOCK earned two front covers and chalked up some 21/22 automotive magazine articles on its RSR Capri cars as well as its high quality high performance components. the automotive magazine engineering editors dubbed the cars with the term State-of-the Art back in the day. And also why the ROKSTOCK Capri products were so duplicated and copied by others also trying to get in on the popular Sexy European as the Capri was often billed as. Your #018 RSR turbo Capri was built for Mike Parris of Popular Hot Roding magazine and looks complete and ready for a serious restoration. Hopefully who ever buys this icon will want ROKSTOCK to do the restoration and not only bring it back to its original form but also re-create it to make it a serious road warrior for competing with todays machinery. I just finished building/creating a new ROKSTOCK Capri that is featured in the Nov issue of Classic Ford Magazine UK that should answer a lot of questions for Ford Capri enthusiasts regarding ROKSTOCK and its plans to continue enhancing every aspect of the European Ford Capri automobile. Thank you again Buni… ROK
Buni… Thank you so much for giving one of my RSR turbo Capri cars so much respect, value and collector-car status. And you are correct there can’t be 10 complete RSR turbo Capri II’s cars left on the planet. We did however sell several thousand Capri owners (of the day) many of the special components that made up the RSR’s looks and its performance credentials. ROKSTOCK earned two front covers and 21 automotive magazine articles on its cars and its RS Capri products. We built (in house) and sold through the mail-order operation less than 50 RSR turbos. Classic Ford Magazine of the UK is coming out with an article in their Nov issue on ROKSTOCK and a newly-built special Capri II (Mk2) race car/rat rod with a near 500HP motor. A road and track machine that should help to put ROKSTOCK on the map once again. And should help to elevate the entire values of all Ford Capri Mk1, Mk2 and even Mk3’s. And that #1 point has always been ROKSTOCK’s mission statement: To enhance every aspect of the Ford L/M Capri. We were the first aftermarket parts and accessories company in North America (USA/Canada) and my ROKSTOCK Capri designs component/products have been replicated and duplicated by many over the years. Early in the 70’s ROKSTOCK began its life as a mail-order catalogue parts and accessories business and as a consequence it set the bar for its high-quality performance components. The automotive press road and track tested its cars/products and helped to make the brand State-of-the Art back in the day. Also, making it easy prey for duplicated copies of its signature RS Capri parts line. ROKSTOCK is back to produce some new Capri-based RS cars as its forefront business plans. But… if interests warrants the need for the original ROKSTOCK Capri components (and that will be clearly branded/marked this time around) with its registered trademark ROKSTOCK. As it does have a sincere and future plan to re-make some of its original ROKSTOCK Capri products along with some new RS components. But, please note… they are NOT available now…But stay tuned my Capri friends as ROKSTOCK is not finished . ROK
Mr. ROK what a great flash back to see the name Rokstock.
I’m Stephen Singletary (Aurora, CO) and was a member of the
original Capri Car Club Ltd and restarted it in 1983. I still have the extensive factory archives from its founder, Onno Van Veen;
which also includes your 1970’s Capri Catalogs and periodicals
featuring your cars. I also still have Onno’s 1972 2.6 GT XLR
which was ordered in person at the Koln Werk; currently under
restoration. One knows few of these cars remain in the U.S. but in Europe, It’s a Euro Mustang. My point is that we’d love
to have you back; a copy of the old front Interpart Spook Spoil-
er for the MK I would be fantastic. Cheers
Steve: My name is Chuck Stiesmeyer, and I was a member of the Capri Car Club… Still have a bucket full of NOS small parts and emblems, also a NOS set of front fenders, still in factory cardboard. My plates said Capri2 (still have them), but the car alas rusted into oblivion. Had a 77 with factory air, sunroof, V-6 auto, but the turds at the city kept issuing me tickets and I had to get rid of it. Loved, loved that little hatchback. Oh, and still have that special steering wheel MOMO which everyone drooled over. After I’m dead, you should check out my estate sale. Maybe I will also.
Rick, you should put a website together(or Facebook etc.) that people can subscribe to and follow you, so when the new products/parts come out, we will all be notified.
Billy Thank you. We are working on that at this moment. The Capri and the Cobra I built at a very popular car shop in Vancouver Wash, over the past 6-7 years. I am seeking a shop/building to combine another business venture that I own with the ROKSTOCK Capri operation. So, very soon there there will be a site ROKSTOCK.com. up and running. Thank you so much for your interests and support… ROK
Looks like there is a misunderstanding on the price so my asking price is 50k(50.000.00)
Not 5k(5.000.00)
No disrespect but, this car may be worth that much fully restored but not in it’s current state. Best way to find it’s true value is to list it on an auction site. It’s a bull market out there for collector cars and you should have no problem getting more than it’s worth. You can set your reserve, then sit back and see what the market will bear. Right now Cars and Bids is letting sellers list for free until the end of the month. BAT probably has the largest audience if you don’t mind paying the listing fee, which is pretty reasonable.
Sonny, I have been waiting for someone to point that out. When new, the cars were amazing. However the value right now is an unknown quantity. What I do know is that good paint and interior work along with a mechanical refresh can easily reach the asking price. There is no room on the car the way it is. Unfortunately, it is still a Capri and the market will not bear a 100k price tag. Put it to auction and let the car find the right buyer. The car has great provenance, it deserves to be restored.
I have owned 3 Capris and still have 2 (both MkIs). I love it when any come up for sale and go for a high price (rising tide floats all boats). I’ve always wanted a Mkll, and even better import a Mklll, but the price of this one and the one on eBay for $14000 have unrealistic prices for their conditions. The thing that bothers me the most on this RSR is the rust on the hatch. That can only be fixed by a craftsman metalworker or find a replacement hatch. Mklls were imported in far fewer numbers that the Mkl so finding one with a good hatch in a junkyard will be hard, but maybe not impossible(?). Then there’s the inside of the car; what has the water infiltration done to that area under the hatch. Not to mention these cars rust if you breathe on them too much. I still have my ROKSTOCK (and Dobi and Interpart) catalogue(s) and take them out to drool over the unobtainium. In all honesty if I had 50 large to spend, I’d buy a Porsche because you’d get more for the money and a better chance of a larger increase in value over time. This is a rare bird but that alone does not justify the price. My opinion.
I totally agree. I presently have 6, including a MK II I am restoring. I have owned over 30 Capris in my lifetime, they are my favorite car. I have been gathering parts for over 10 years. I don’t want to think about how much I have spent. I have planned the build for every one of them but realized that the more expensive performance parts won’t net me any more money than restored stock. I am keeping 2 of them, the rest I will sell. Ironically the 2 cars I bought to keep forever will be sold because they are worth the most. My 73 2.6 sunroof car in Daytona yellow will get all the vintage performance parts I have including an Ak Miller turbo kit and Dobi suspension. I will be happy to clear 25k from it finished. I love the capri but they are not a collector car to invest in. They were meant to be driven, an exciting car with a modest price. Something to make you feel special, and I hope the new owners feel that way when I finally finish them.
ah, the DOBI catalog, my first car was a 1971 Toyota Celica ST, and i had a catalog with wheels spoilers headers etc, and wore that catalog out, and i couldn’t remember the name, now i am thinking it was DOBI,
I remember by the time i had my 73 Capri it was JC Whitney, i lusted after the Ansa and Pace Setter exhausts for it but alas i had no money at that time, damn that tech school bullcrap,lol
No offense but seems that you guys don’t really know about the value of this car this car has 4 big factors that push it’s value over 100k restored
1 ROKSTOCK PACKAGE
2 THE CAR WAS SPECIAL CUSTOM MADE FOR SPECIAL POPULAR HOT RODDING FRONT PAGE OF THE MAGAZINE
1 of 10 left in the whole world so yes it is a HIGH COLLECTABLE CAR
other factors it’s that car it’s all original AND RUNS AND DRIVES regarding the rust on the back that piece of cake
But again only few people know about the true value of this car
I have the magazine this car was featured in, bought them new, printed a big poster from the Road and Track road test for my wall when I was a kid. I got my first Capri when I was 19 in 1989. Living in Canada, near Detroit I couldn’t afford ROKstock parts for my car but had the catalog. It is not that I don’t know what they are worth. I have been restoring Capris all my adult life. I know where there is a 71 RS 2600 that needs restoring. I would buy it if it was for sale. My cars, with the exception of my 76 all need interior work and paint. The cost adds up quickly. What I am saying is no one will pay 50k for a Capri that needs restoring if there is no chance of recouping the outlay. The Capri is not that collectable. I wish it was different. My 76 is a 40k mileage car. Sunroof, v6, 4 speed. Will have euro bumpers, all suspension and brakes rebuilt. Rebuilt trans and a freshened motor. Finished, i will struggle to get 15k for it. I don’t doubt it is a special car but there isn’t the market for euro mid level cars like there is for muscle cars. Your car in its present condition is only worth about $25k in my opinion. Your best bet is mortgage the house and get Rick to restore it. Then it would be worth the money. Auction it and prove me wrong. I truly wish you the best
all this talk has me right in my feels for my old 73 v6 4speed car
Boys, That’s right boys… Richard O. Kiser here of ROKSTOCK is going to try once more to thank Buni for his efforts to salvage and pass on to someone who at some point, pass on this special interest Capri so that it gets restored properly and will continue to pass on this Capri’s importance to the North American Ford Capri owners for its real honest to God N/A Capri car history.
First off many of you do not seem to fully understand the Ford Capri as much as you boast and snort about knowing of their values in and to the automotive world. The Ford Capri here in the USA was more or less and still is a bastard-like car. As it really didn’t have much of a chance to exert its real potential here… Oh, I tried like crazy to get Ford L/M’s attention with a well built designed and engineered high performance Capri. All through my real vehicle: My ROKSTOCK Capri parts and accessories catalogue. An effort that took me nearly 7 years to develop (before I made a dime from it)and to find people to turn my ROK product ideas/concepts into actual components, write, print and produce all for the N/A Capri owner. As there was nothing available here for the Capri. And then I created a Capri that would stand out as a high performance model. All through many different auto magazine articles.
But Ford L/M didn’t get it. But we also built just enough of them and through ROKSTOCK’s promotional efforts the RSR turbo and RSR Capris made world class recognition and history for the Capri here. But the Capri in this country still lacks real respect and truly enough appreciation from many that think their Capri experts. Its hard to take from someone who actually is.
So, as a guy (Buni) who wants to play in the collector-car game and one who believes that his experience and his researched belief is sound, solid and well worth the price that he places on his highly collectable European Ford Capri.
And so, not because its a ROKSTOCK RSR turbo and I’m prone to them because I created the cars… I support the guy who sees the value for what it actually is; a very rare and very limited edition Capri. And IF it was fully restored (as I would restore it) I believe I would put it up for $150K or more and more than likely some highly smart guy/gal in Europe would have to have the car… for its future value as a ROKSTOCK creation. And above all for an excellent exceptional well balanced, high performance Capri that was often compared to the 65/66 Shelby GT350 Mustangs by real car guys and even the automotive press in the day. It is a real survivor and of course a real Barn-Find.
And, I keep hearing about the DOBI Capri parts and accessories, of how good they were… They were ripped off cheaply made designs and products from ROKSTOCK. The DOBI guy wanted to be the Southern California ROKSTOCK Capri distributor and so, I sold him enough ROKSTOCK Capri parts and accessories that it was easy for him to simply duplicate, replicate and copy the components and with (no real research and developments costs in them) they could be sold much cheaper than ROKSTOCK could sell them for. But by not using the ROKSTOCK nomenclature my trademark attached to any of the components DOBI got away with it. As after we purchased many of the DOBI parts and realized how poorly made most them were (and I wasted about $10K/$15K in Attorney fees all to find out there was really nothing I could do because the trademark was all that I really could legally protect. But, I still marvel at the Capri owners who rave about the DOBI Capri parts and its catalogue. I was determined on producing the Best in Capri aftermarket parts and accessories for the North American Capri owner and… well it will all come out in my book that I have been writing for years and will publish soon as its importance to the real history of the Ford L/M Capri for its North American imprint/impact and its almost successful statement that it made here and what I went through to get ROKSTOCK up and off the ground. As I’m positive that it will make interesting reading for the Ford Capri owners in the world. Who knows it might even help a few young entrepreneur’s make a better choice in their moves.
So my new friend Buni who just happened pick up a nearly one of just a few and believes this car connected to this ROKSTOCK trademark is rare enough to give it a real value. The value that a true Collector-Car individual would recognize and appreciate. So, to you so called Capri experts and believe me my passion and/or love for the European Ford Capri runs deeper than words can describe here (still) and OMG your probably going to pass out when you read about a new ROKSTOCK one-off designed and engineered Capri II in Classic Ford Magazine coming out soon. As I know that if the Capri was put to the test of its engineered construction, its components, its look… parked next to a true to life Ford Factory Werks RS 2600 or RS 3100 that this new ROKSTOCK Capri would have as much attention in the Wow Factor sector… maybe even more because of its near 500HP BOSS 351c Cleveland motor. And its price, well its certainly far less than the RS2600/RS3100’s but it still carries a respectable price tag and especially as a one of one ROKSTOCK designed Capri.
The RSR turbo Capri’s were the Singer Porsches and even the Shelby GT350’s of the day according to the real engineering editors of the leading auto mags that road and track tested the little giants. And so, I must support and defend this man (Buni’s) vision, his want and need to pass this special classic RSR turbo Capri on to someone who will in fact want to have the car restored as it
was built. And above all else as it was in a special Capri II that earned and contributed to helping thousands of N/A Capri owners out with its impact, with its true to life statement that it was one of the few cars that a guy in Oregon was trying his best to get FOMOCO’s its Lincoln Mercury Division’s attention in the same manner that his car-god idol and old friend Carroll Shelby had done with his Cobra.
ROKSTOCK even made it possible for the DOBI Capri to come into play. And I just purchased a real winning Capri II race car with DOBI valve covers on its 2.8 V/6 engine and they will be on there when I sell it. But please give Buni, the guy a bit more respect for trying to give this Ford Capri some real value. There are still more Capri Mk1 and Mk2 cars out there in North American that are still being sold cheap enough. But a ROKSTOCK version will always be miles and dollars ahead of regular Ford Capri cars, just as RS2600’s, Tickfords, JPS versions and RS3100’s are and will always be worth far more than stock Capri’s. I just gave a Mk1 away for a mere $2,500 and properly restored into a Cologne version looking affair could easily generate a hefty price. But only, if they complete their plans…? Restoring or building cars today is a thousand times more expensive as it was back in the 70’s.
Roger Chastain and I were the only two people producing a special Capri car in N/A. We both tried to give the N/A Capri follower /buyer a great product. He tried to convince Ford L/M that his Chastain S3 Capri II SHOULD have a complete ROKSTOCK Suspension on it as standard equipment, they wouldn’t even have it, wouldn’t even go that far as that would have altered the Capri more than just a cosmetic addition. And for sure they were not going to address the RSR turbo Capri as it was lacking in emissions and cats. They could have helped me in producing the car with a little less HP, but they did nothing in that area to appease or help the N/A Capri owners out. But I still forged forward and produced a Capri that gave the Capri owners of N/A a Capri to aspire to, to give them an image, a Capri to help build their dreams on. A Capri to help them see how they wanted “their Capri” to look and above all, perform like.
THAT alone is why this #018 RSR turbo should carry the banner for Capri cars everywhere. SO DON’T put this guy down or insult his intelligence for believing his barn find zoomie isn’t worth what he has placed on it or what you would like to pay for it, buy it. And to be honest the next run of ROKSTOCK Capri based cars are going to be up there with the Singers, with the Alfaholics of the world. So, the price on Buni’s RSR turbo is not only a fair asking price, but also a price that gives all Ford Capri’s greater hope for their future values. So, stop with the telling the guy his price does not merit a Capri cars worth… the car is NOT a mere Capri it is and was a special Capri that was used to HELP all Capri owners in the USA and Canada in that told the world… WE TOO HAVE a Capri that is as good as it gets for a Capri… Get it?
Keep your price in tact Buni until you get that one guy, that one gal who wants to own a real piece of North American Capri car history. And thanks to you and a few others that have contacted me over the last few months with Capri cars that were built at ROKSTOCK who now they want to pass on and sell and for their belief and real respect that these few and very limited edition Capri cars still have. It’s rewarding and very much appreciated by my standards that you give the car this kind of admiration. ROKSTOCK Capri and the guys that helped me produce those Capri’s Give you a big vote of thanks for your efforts to keep this Capri up there in value so that it will be restored properly and not be changed nor hacked by someone who thinks they could do better by the car. Keep it an original ROKSTOCK RSR turbo Capri II… Thank You Buni… ROK
OK Richard, you make a compelling argument which begs the question: Why aren’t you buying it, restoring it, putting it on the cover of your upcoming catalogue and then auctioning it off at say, Barrett-Jackson for that big 150K?
That’s a great question!
And if you did buy it to restore, would you pay 50k for it?
Rick again thank you so much for sharing with us such a great and valuable information .. I’m not trying to argue with people as they might think I’m trying to make them understand that this car and I’m not exaggerating that THIS ROKSTOCK CAPRI’s are the same as Porsche 911 Carrera and why am I saying this ? Because 1 this Capri cars were made in Germany 2 this is not a regular Capri by that I mean this car has a LUXURY GHIA PACKAGE + ROKSTOCK PACKAGE
THIS IS A PORSCHE IT JUST LOOKS DIFFERENT
With all due respect sir, you misunderstood our(my) posts. It is not that I do not think it is worth the asking, it is that I don’t believe anyone will pay it. I have the greatest respect for you and what you did. I know the car has provenance. Collector’s are strange. They are rarely true enthusiasts. The modern collecting trend began when people started looking for a different place to invest. Cars give you a tactile investment, not meant to be driven much. Prices are arbitrary to value. Is a plum crazy hemi Challenger convertible really worth a million? No, but now they are a blue chip investment. Enthusiasts, people who go on this site generally have the best example of their favorite car(s) they can afford and they drive them. We are suggesting he auctions the car to find its true present value, nothing else. If you want 50k for it, take more, better pictures, show as much documentation as you can. No one is trying to diminish you or the car. We just want an enthusiast to buy it so it will get restored and driven.
Exactly, MM.
One can always find the value of anything the day it sells. And to answer the question… Why don’t I buy it and then restore it? The original ROKSTOCK RSR turbo #001 Capri is sitting next to me (in the driveway under wraps) as it was stolen from me years back, got it back, started to restore/build engine as it was hurt, stopped because I want restore the original RSR turbo on camera on the ROKSTOCK.com web site for Capri owners to witness its restoration.
All of which will be super expensive, but as the original RSR turbo will also be for sale and I just finished building a very expensive Capri race car and a replica 64 FIA Cobra, both are for sale and who knows I may get to restore #018 RSR… so, hope that answers your question.
And seems to slip past several of you Capri owners, but the RSR turbo #018 car happens to be owned by someone who has placed a price on it that he wants and for sure it sounds like he believes its worth the glue.
Here is a story of one of my cars. A near mint condition 1973 Datsun 240Z. One that I bought for an amount that I told the dealer that they were crazy to sell the car for what I offered (after 12 different phone calls from the salesman over several weeks, because in the first conversation with him, I knew so much about the Datsun 240Z cars, because they were ROKSTOCK Capri cars competition back in the day. And because they were only asking $12K for a 240Z that I told them it was worth a minimum of $20K. The last phone call I thought if I offered a ridicules price that would be the end of the continued phone calls. Two hours later the man called me to tell me the owner of the dealership and the owner of the 240Z would take the $7,500 offer. I had to put my money where my mouth was and buy it. 4 months later after I researched the Datsun 240Z’s history including everything I ran it through the Silver Classic Car Auction and turned down $20K. As I had put a $25K reserve on it because by then I had realized the value, the rarity of a Datsun 240Z in the condition of this one was one to hold onto for a while as an investment car. I wrote a 60 page story on the car and what I as an aftermarket parts and accessories designer and viewed the 240Z as thee most significant sports car in the history of sports cars as no other sports car ever made the impact on the world stage as a Datsun 240Z did in 1970/71… no sports car. I held on to it for another 2 years, put my booklet and pictures of the car on line for $40K. Sold 22 copies of it to other 240Z owners but also took a load of s–t for putting that kind of value on a mere 240Z and from a host of so called Datsun 240Z owners even a horrible email from the N/W Z car club president on my ridicules price of $40K on the Z car. Out of the Blue one day I get a phone call from Pete Brock who tells me he read my story agreed with me a thousand percent and if I didn’t need to sell it, put it away for a few more years… as it will be worth a bit more. I took his suggestion. When Datsun 240Z cars were still seemingly stuck in their low-values price points. I put 4 pages of my story, 30 some pictures of this 240Z up on a classic car site for $75K and two months into the ad a collector car guy from Chicago called offered me $65K. I sold it and also helped not only a few Datsun 240Z car owners out by my compelling story with better values on the car… but also a special thank you to the Datsun/Nissan car company for giving to the world such an amazing automobile as the Datsun 240Z was in the day. Still is in many ways.
I also realized your at the mercy of people that first off want to buy your car for most times far less than your wants/needs for it. If put into an auction. That is, unless you have something that is far beyond most of us can even wrap our minds around… certain Ferrari, Shelby cars. And much of my point for the 240Z was that in 4 to 5 more short years that Datsun 240Z would be worth $125K to even $150K and without touching the car as it was near mint condition. So one can argue with logic and personal points of view. I tried to get Buni to let ROKSTOCK restore this little war horse, just keep the car and then after its restored and one has some fun with it like a street version GT350. But he is also restoring a 70’s Dodge Charger and simply decided to sell the RSR turbo as she sits. And put a starting price value on the car and who knows what the car will eventually sell for, its a starting point, isn’t it?
But the point is this… he owns the car, right? And after researching the European Ford Capri he believes the car is worth a lot for its uniqueness, its rarity and basically its condition of everything that made it a genuine ROKSTOCK RSR Capri is all there in tact and its actually running. And true I see it as a Capri in badly needed ROKSTOCK restoration. As I would go over the top in its build and turn out a RSR turbo that would earn a couple more In Retrospect auto mag articles and get to build a few more of these Capri car from the articles. But just because you don’t see eye to eye with Buni’s price and/or value of his special Capri. A Ric Woods Capri, A full house Ford Factory Werks Capri or also any number of tribute Cologne fendered Capri’s with Woods engines in them or any number of special interest Capri’s that are now coming for sale and are in the 6 figure amounts… why do some you think that a ROKSTOCK RSR turbo model should not be given that same kind of values or respect? The ROKSTOCK RSR turbo’s were very limited in their actual numbers. And Buni is correct I doubt if there are 10 cars left in the world. And a couple of them that I am aware of are being restored as some other kind of Capri, sad but true. Anyway, my Capri friends, I know you think this Capri doesn’t seem to fit into “your” assessment values… so, make him an offer if you want to buy it. But don’t insult the guy. There is someone out there that WILL see the value of this opportunity and pick it up… maybe even want me to restore it… who knows. But I do know this; that special RSR Capri helped to give Capri owners in this country hope and added value to their little dream machine… their ROKSTOCK or their DOBI. But, ROKSTOCK produced “the only” High Performance Capri in the USA and was the only well known Capri specialty company in the USA. Has anyone EVER read an article on a DOBI Capri? The answer is no one as there was only one real high performance Capri car building operation in North America. And I am still very proud of that feat. And my story, my book will tell the entire story of the rise and the fall of the ROKSTOCK brand including all the mistakes and poor choices that I made in its operation. Actually the value of this particular RSR turbo Capri has something to do with the history of ROKSTOCK. For it to have survived as many of those RSR Capri cars were destroyed and are gone forever… here is one of a very limited and rare breed and the guy wants to pass it on to someone who hopefully will restore to its rightful place in N/A Capri car history. Thank You Again Buni… from The ROKSTOCK team of guys/gals; Doug Voydnoff, Clay Dopke, Pat Snow, Jeff Trump, Bob Palin, Annette Jensen, just to name a few of the really great people that helped me produce those few killer hot rod RSR Capri’s. ROK
Well to answer your question MM. As you stated the question with the biggest little word in human language…if. The answer is this; At a $50K asking price I would try and buy the car for less (as always trying to make a good deal… but also like-always for me, IF the deal does not work really well for both me and the seller, I am not even interested in buying the thing). But to be frank, I would look at the end result and as a car that is this limited in numbers ever built and then to find out there probably isn’t 10 of them left on the planet… well that makes the opportunity a bit more juicy for me. As I could restore it and then 2/3 years later make money with it as a real collector, that’s what ya do. Everything is for sale at the right price. But the real issue here is it is not our car, its another mans car and that he believes its worth a lot for its provenance, history and really its condition. I spoke with Buni many times about its value at current and then “if” (there is that word again) it was restored by ROKSTOCK what would it be worth. I have been in the car business for 55 years of my life in one way or another and I have never heard of too many people who paid exactly what a car was listed for… ever. So, if you would like to own the car simply make an offer on it, it always a place to start. But as I said its kind of sad to see and hear a situation like this and especially with such a unique car as a historic ROKSTOCK RSR turbo, and of course I am positive about the fact that it survived (we built the car in 1977) 44 years ago. And then they were cheap by todays standards. But fully ROKSTOCK restored this Capri SHOULD NOT be driven or flogged around like we got to back then… but rather showed, driven to car functions and such, but taken care of as a Capri that made history, that helped to keep the fires stoked with the Capri enthusiasts of the USA/Canada… don’t ya think? So in terms of what would I pay… IF I was a car collector with deep pockets I would make as good a deal as I could, make arrangements with ROKSTOCK to have it restored (probably take a year or two) show it, share it, drive it, put it on the track a bit and then probably take some ridiculous amount for it because that what car collectors do. And this Capri should go to a real car collector who will have it restored correctly as its value is too connected to its need to be restored. And beauty of it is that ROKSTOCK is now beginning to build and/or restore Capri cars again. And its for sure that no one would restore this Capri and better than anyone and have the license to make a couple changes that I wanted to make but was up against a time factor for the magazine article and had to live with a couple things that I hated, but let it go. Anyway MM I hope this answers yer question. If you want this Capri make the man an offer… But my calculated guess is that as A Capri guy, you would change t the car in trying to make it better. Several of my RSR’ have been altered and changed so their not genuine RSR’s anymore, just a Capri with some aftermarket parts and accessories on it and some ROKSTOCK badging. This Capri is a real survivor and a genuine article of one of the few. And absolutely worth some bucks… how much? That is between a serious buyer and its current owner… right? ROK
Rick O. Kiser here. Hopefully Buni will put some better pictures of the car. I spoke with him on that note as it would surely help him find a buyer as all ROKSTOCK RSR’s have such unique profiles, their classic looks were a huge part and reason for their success. But their real claim to fame were their performance numbers. Back then you could beat up 911SC’s and even 308GTB’s believe it or not. And 0.81g’s on a skid pad meant they had the ability to take on Corvettes, Camaro’s and Mustangs and many, many times see their middle finger from your rear view mirror. In their day a full-house ROKSTOCK RSR turbo Capri II gave its owners a car that was (almost) as good-as-it-gets… as the cars were only $10K-$12K machines, but also that could beat up $20K/$30K machines… how kool was that? The real story of this particular RSR turbo will be a complete chapter in my book. Every build, every Capri that RS touched had a story… this Capri most assuredly has a tale that goes with the cars history… it came out of the House of ROKSTOCK. I’m sorry that some of you don’t believe that alone gives it an amazing value. But, someone will, that is for sure… ROK
That is exactly my point. No, I do not want this car. Not because it wouldn’t be awesome to own a real ROKSTOCK Capri but because I have more projects than I can handle. I would want it restored by you and would not change a thing. I would want it exactly as it appeared in the magazine. I have other cars for that. But the crux of the matter is, How much would you want to restore it? I am an enthusiast, not a ” Collector”. Many like me would have to borrow to restore it. The RS 2600 I mentioned before is the owners dream car. It is a wreck. It would need the complete bottom of a good car welding into the shell along with everything else. Is it worth a lot? Yes, especially in Europe. Finished. Now? Not really. He is lacking some part of the Time/Money/Ability triangle but while he has hope it will sit. Gunna tell you a story, will probably mess details up a bit but its as accurate as I remember. About 15 years ago, Barrett-Jackson auctioned a beautiful Starliner wagon. Black, Hand painted wood grain sides, 427 (might have been a cammer) Custom surf board. Top shelf car. Sold for $65k. Well under the resto price. That car was back every year for 4 years. Next auction netted about $100k, Next year about $160k. Next year there was a fierce bidding war and it went for over $250k. Last year, the seller expected another bidding war. Car sold for $65k, About what it was worth. In all that time, the car had been driven 100 miles. This is what “collectors” do. Rarely is it truly about the car. Tell me, When you built the cars was it for people to drive or as an investment to be sold in a few years. The beauty of the Capri is they were meant to be driven and enjoyed. All of them. Even documented race cars sell for reasonable (comparatively speaking) amount. The point of the car was it did things it was not supposed to do, Like yours. BMW M Division, The RS Porsche were created because of the success of the Capri. Would I like my cars to be worth more? Absolutely. You have alluded to my points several times in your arguments. They are a bastard, A wonderful, fun bastard. People in Europe really appreciate them. Here it is a small group of enthusiasts. Understand that this is not an attack on you, the car or the seller. No one has asked for his provenance or credentials, called him a flipper or a speculator. We, in our own way are trying to help him sell it. If it is truly worth the asking then Auction it. Let the market decide. But present it better. More pictures, Documents. Wash it. Clean the interior. But don’t be surprised, or hurt if it sells for a lot less. Thanks for having an open mind.
MM… If you believe that I have alluded to your questions then we will probably never agree on most things regarding the Ford Capri. But, I will try to make a couple points more clear in respect to this man’s belief (Buni) that this particular Capri IS worth the money he is asking (or close to it) for it, or he has placed on it. Hell, it’s only a starting point. He might take $30K or even $35K for it who knows. The strong point here is that it really is an honor to go through what I personally went through to get the ROKSTOCK designed parts and accessories produced and then have many of them ripped off and find I could nothing really to stop them from doing so… shy of putting my company out of business right in the middle of its hay-day. So, it sounds as though you and several other Capri enthusiasts know far more about the Capri than I do. And even more about specialty car’s per say than
Back when these RSR turbo Capri II were built… I created the car to be a 1965/66 Shelby GT 350 like machine (and it turned out according to several auto mag engineering editors the RSR was in fact a GT350 like car in the form of a Capri II.) and so, at $12K for a finished unit one would drive the cars hard, fast and take advantage of all of their road and track abilities. But today, these few cars left deserve far more respect than they did even back then. And believe me when I’m finished with a full RS restoration on this Capri or any Capri one could go out and trounce any number of more expensive cars today. Addressing your point (which was my point several replied earlier) ONLY in North America were they a Bastard car… and only from the Lincoln Mercury Dealers that sold them. I know as I worked for two of the L/M dealers in Portland but I was labeled a nut ball because I had so much passion and love for the Capri by all accounts. The L/M sales, service and parts depts. But in Europe the Ford Capri WAS and still is their Mustang and still amazingly looked at in High Regard. And after I would restore this Capri and judging from its condition I would not or could not restore this car (ROKSTOCK style) for less than $65K to $75K to even $100K and in spite of what you would accept or believe at those figures I would not net much from the build. But I also know that I would make sure that in the final and completed project that I would be able to get the car into a couple auto mags as a In Retrospect articles and its performance and unique statement would also generate up to 3-4 other builds or RSR turbo Capri car sales for ROKSTOCK. Every article that RS earned for the RSR’s meant a couple more cars would/could be produced. However as most know, the Capri was killed off from Ford L/M and soon after interests, sales of RSR’s also became a non-point of interest and/or sales of them. And in truth, ROKSTOCK really didn’t make much money on the finished RSR’s… but the sales of their components was where we came out OK not great but ok. But today that car in a finished form as a brand new ROKSTOCK RSR turbo and especially one of maybe 10/12 original cars… well you figure out what you think it would be worth or sell for… I know the answer, but I’m doubtful if you would agree with me.
Many of my car pals thought that I need pro-help when I put $75K on my near mint Datsun 240Z when they were being advertised as $12K/$15K some even were upwards of $20K (but after several years of real research on the 240Z, I realized how important the 240Z was to the world and wrote a 60 page story on the 240Z and this particular one as well… and even after Pete Brock called me about my story as I advertised the booklet with the car… he called me to tell me agreed with me a thousand percent.)
I sold it to a collector in Chicago for $65K like a dummy leaving $10K on the table as I realized also that he too understood the Datsun 240Z and how big of an impression that it made on the world… The Datsun 240Z changed everything in the automotive industry. It spawned the real import car aftermarket industry. It was also ROKSTOCK Capri’s real competition. The few ROKSTOCK Capri that are left SHOULD be valued much higher than some of you Capri people think that they should be as ROKSTOCK was the first Capri specialty company in the United States. It set the bar… ironically there would have never even been a DOBI Capri operation without ROKSTOCK, as the guy simply took ROKSTOCK Capri products and ripped them, duplicated, replicated them and far cheaper (as he had no real research/development costs in them) but any dim-bulb comparing a ROKSTOCK Capri catalogue and then much later this DOBI Capri catalogue could see the similar/same looking parts but with different names attached to them. But didn’t really care they were less money. Long before there was DOBI, there was ROKSTOCK. But many Capri guys didn’t care about the quality, quality in everything ROKSTOCK Capri that the auto magazine guys raved about for years even before the RSR Capri II hit the streets. I took the new Capri II and created the RSR turbo and then that car changed everything for ROKSTOCK. Too damn bad they decided to kill off the Capri here in North America. The huge move to compensate and expand a bit to survive and then the huge economic downfall in our country took me out of the game in 81′.
But my ROK designs for the Capri and through my trademark ROKSTOCK Capri cars and products (and really MM) just why I believe that these few, these very special RSR Capri cars and their components that truly made the car do what they were capable of doing is why this man Buni after he spoke with me and several people in Europe, he came to the conclusion that this Capri is worth the money or close to it that he has on it. You fail to accept or agree that IT IS HIS CAR and like me, I am NOT going to let someone else dictate what they think it’s worth OR worse yet tell me what THEY want to pay to own it… like screw me… who cares what I want for it… I’m telling you what I am going to pay for it… got it? And MM I do have some real experience with car auctions. Now, if you have a Shelby car, Ferrari car or some really high dollar car and you’re up there with the real deep pocket guys, well … then maybe you can have fun and play that game, but this is different. I think it’s great that someone thinks/believes that one of my designs, one of my cars, is worth enough to set a precedent for the marks future. I am really sorry that you do not get it and I’m sure this pisses you off as I am sure that you do not agree with me for the most part. But if you are a real European Ford Capri guy… you might. The Ford Capri deserved the same treatment as their FORD Mustang here as a L/M sold car. And the ROKSTOCK RSR turbo should get as much in a way, a little way as the Shelby Mustang for truly what it did for the USA/Canadian Ford L/M Capri owners… its image was noteworthy enough to put it high on the pedestal of real value. But of course you are one of those Capri guys that will continue to keep the Capri down there, telling yourself and others that as a Capri guy… you know the score… you know what they should be worth and that’s that. Never mind (and if you think its my ego talking here your nuts) that I have spent 50 some years with the Capri and have spoke with thousands of Ford L/M Capri owners here and abroad and I am certain that I know enough to be able to place a value on a car and get it. I know that I helped to elevate the values of Datsun 240Z cars value at the time and my biggest point was the compliment to Datsun/Nissan Motors for giving to the world such an important sports car… one that truly changed the world. Did I hear from Datsun/Nissan on the issue? No. But I know that I helped elevate the true-value of the Datsun 240Z. And hopefully the car is still untouched, unmolested and an iconic example that will continue to be valued, cherished and admired for years to come by its new owner. Just like Buni in his efforts to pass on this Capri to someone who will see it as such a unique and special Capri and not just fix it up and then run the shit out of it because, Hell it’s still a moderately cheap car… weren’t they? This one is not. I rest my case. ROK
Rick, once again you misunderstand my meaning and intentions. That’s OK. I do not wish to get into a pi**ing contest with someone I admire. Good luck with the sale, I hope I am wrong. Mal
And once again… Its NOT my car, its owned by a guy who simply believes its worth a lot of money due to its history. You do not. And as the guy who created the car… what would you do? I think its great that he does as well as also believing in this: The only way cars like the RSR turbos are ever going to be highly-prized and collectable is IF they are expensive. And letting someone else dictate to me a price on something that I own… is never. The price the man put on his car is his business… What am I going to do? Not support that? No, I will support that all day long and especially when it involves some special Capri that I created, designed and produced. Like I said its a starting point, but its a damn good starting point for such a rare Capri as the #18 ROKSTOCK RSR turbo. And IF you actually admired me for anything that I did for Capri owners… I would think that my opinion actually had some weight, but evidently… I think I have said all that I can say. ROK
Oh my gosh!! ✋🛑
Hi Buni. I dug out my copies of Popular hot rodding on your car. I don’t know how to link them. I have a question, Does the engine have a 4bbl on it? The reason for the hood mods was to clear an offenhauser intake and turbo diverter and 390cfm carb. It looks like a stock intake on it now. If I can take pics of the article and post them I will. MM
You can put up the pics of the article on dropbox or google drive etc and then post the link here.
Interesting about the carb. I wondered why the bulge extension as it doesn’t look like the carb sits up that high. If the manifold and carb have been switched out makes you wonder why and what else may have been changed.
I’d like to know what internal mods were made because throwing a turbo on a stock motor is a recipe for disaster.
I will try that. There is a YouTube video of a guy in England tearing down a Rokstock engine he bought. I wouldn’t worry about blowing the engine. They were well built. The setup on the car in the article was experimental apparently. Would be cool if it went with the car. Will add the YouTube info if anyone is interested.
Now this car is just under $50K and it is well worth it!

Damn that is a nice car. Years ago one went through a charity auction in Toronto. My brother went to it and brought home the auction list. The car sold for about $35k Canadian, I believe it went back to England. The auctioneer kept calling it an Austin Martin. Wish I had the money then but we had just had our son so…..
I remember that car. Wouldn’t be surprised if this isn’t the same one.
I wish I saw it in person. My brother said it was amazing
I took pictures of both articles and put them on Dropbox. When I figure out how to post the link I will.
Sounds good.
I’ve not used Dropbox but I would think they supply a link to the file(s), which you would just copy and paste to your post here?
I tried that. Need to find a teenager to do it….
lol!
Hey. Does anyone know if this car sold? I found the mags it was featured in and remembered it was for sale. If it sold I wonder if ROK will be restoring it. Would be cool if he did.
Yes, it was sold
Nice. Any idea if ROK is restoring it? Wonder what it sold for. Hope it remains as built when finished. Thanks
No idea. The restoration by Rick would be costly. But then again, it would need to be done right-not a budget resto. I heard the car was briefly for sale again a couple months ago in Atlanta. Don’t have any further details.
Thanks for the update. If I owned it I would get ROK to restore it. Expensive but would provide the best chance for a return if it was ever re-sold. I checked out the car he built with the 351 Cleveland. Nice, but for me the turbo V6 was the best. Thanks and take care
The important question is unanswered. What did it actually sell for?
I am curious too. My problem wasn’t how much the ask was, it was that he provided a couple of crappy pictures and videos. If you truly believe it was worth 50k, act like it. Provide better pictures of every aspect of the car. Give more details, chain of ownership, how you got it etc. ROK took our comments as a slight against him and the car. That was never the case. Provenance is very important in the collector car world. I hope it sold for a price that made everyone happy and it gets properly restored. I don’t think anyone will fess up the selling price though
Mike Parris really loved this Capri and drove it everywhere…even camping. No one has yet mentioned that before being delivered to Mr. Parris upon completion in 1979 it had been dyno’d at 300 hp…this very car, WITH the reworked 4bbl. carb and “experimental” intake manifold sourced thru Ak Miller. The one Capri that was truly my favorite, hands down, was the Scorpion 250 (250hp). White on black, ASC “bulge” fenders, 3 pc. modular BBS wheels, Pirelli P7’s, 4 place Recaros, on & on & … a real “jaw dropper” and an absolute joy to drive. Alas, we built but one, for USAF Capt. C. Woods (long, long retired I assume). Thanks C.W. !! Thanks Rick !!
Trying again, no idea why is it so hard to post a comment here. Car is in Atlanta and available for sale.
Let me know if this gets posted, I can provide more details and info.
Hope this gets posted, no idea why I keep getting error messages.
Thanks. John
John, what is the price? And is it in the same condition as when the You Tube “Engine running” video was posted, or have you restored it?
Hello. It is exactly as pictured in the video. Has been stored and owner was pondering what to do. Has now decided to move it along.
I believe the asking price is $32k. But I can check
Let me know. I have no idea why I cannot post on the regular site… but technology hates me anyway. lol
Let me know if you get this. Thanks
Hi John do you know if the car sold. I am very interested. Thanks Ken
Hi John do you know if the car sold. I am very interested. Thanks Ken
