Introduction
This page provides answers to some Frequently Asked Questions about
Capris.
Q: This page seems to focus on European Capris. Are "Fox"
chassis Capris
from the 1980s or Australian Capris from the 1990s welcome?
A: All Capris from all eras are welcome, as are other small Fords. The
reason the web pages focuses on European Capris is that your webmasters
all
own European Mk I Capris, and we write about the cars we know best. If
you have more information on "Fox" chassis Capris or Australian Capris
that you think should be included, we'll be happy to add it. The same
applies to Lincoln Capris from the 1950s, Consul Capris from 1962-1964,
or Comet Capris from 1966-1967.
Q: Do I have to live in the Chicago area?
A: No. We accept members from across the USA, Canada, and around the
world.
Q: How Much is my Capri Worth?
A: Exactly as much as somebody is willing to pay for it. That sounds
kind of flip, but it's true. The market for Capris is small, but
sometimes
people will pay a premium for the right car. The real trick is finding
the right buyer. Certain rare or special models will fetch a bit more
money.
Condition counts! A rust-bucket will not sell for much money.
We've seen perfectly good European Capris go for $2500 or
less. We've seen
an absolutely perfect 1971 2000 sell for $10,000.
Q: What happened to the Marketplace section?
A: We lost access to our free server. If we can find another similar
free
server, we will consider reactivating it, however we would like to have
any
new web-based Marketplace give club members first shot at the Capris
for sale.
