*Unique specification
*Ford Coyote (Mustang) engine producing 435bhp
*Tremec five-speed manual transmission
*Upgraded suspension, brakes, and steering
This unique Capri is powered by a Ford Coyote (Mustang) four-cam 32-valve 'crate' engine producing a maximum of 435bhp. The transmission consists of a Tremec T3550 five-speed manual gearbox and hydraulic clutch, which is connected to an Atlas rear axle with ZF limited-slip differential and 3.44:1 final drive ratio. Significantly upgraded, the braking system features Wilwood 310mm rotors with four-pot alloy callipers at the front, and a Ford Cosworth-specification disc conversion at the rear. As one would expect, the suspension, too, has been upgraded, incorporating Bilstein struts at the front and Bilstein-damped single-leaf de-cambered springs at the rear; ride height is adjustable. A Capri power-assisted steering rack is used, fitted with a cockpit-adjustable bias valve. Built specially for this car, the front wheels are Image three-piece 'Billet 19' 9Jx18, while the rears are Image three-piece 'Billet 19' 10.5Jx18, shod with Toyo R888R tyres all round. The interior is original Capri, albeit re-trimmed, and the car has been fitted with central locking and a Thatcham-approved immobiliser. The custom front grille incorporates removable headlight covers (to make the car road legal). We are advised by the vendor that the Capri's theoretical maximum speed is 171mph... A full listing of the car's specification is available, and the original registration is on retention.
