I have a very very tragic story!!! Purchase this new in 91(I think) ..Anyway it have around 15K miles and basically sat outside and deteriorated. The soft top started to spit..I had many car covers on it over the years and tarp the top to attempt to "save it"...Original tires wheels etc- on year my father tired to start it up..Changed batterys and tired to boost start it up...Didint go well the wipers started to come on under "boost" high amps... We remove the top fuel filter to try to remove fuel from it without luck...The body need paint from the tarp rubbing on it .
Basically wasted away...Anyone interested in this?? I am in south of Raleigh nc area..
-
I also Have the hardtop with was placed in my garage and should look pretty nice . This is black
-

-
I am south of raleigh about an hour..I am doing best offer.

Pretty sure its a 93 (xr2)
I have the Tonneau Cover that was never used..The plastic clips were put on the car. The storage bag slight mildew on it. The Tonneau cover is in seem pretty flexable and new.. The hardtop which stored inside and on the rack with the cover over it. It stuck behind other stuff- the top was put on maybe 3 times-so should be pretty nice also.

Thank you-but not right now- I believe the junk yard will come pick it up and give me much more for it. I was hoping a hobbiest would benefit

Well, I'll go $150. I'm guessing all the tires are flat.

They are the original tires on it- and these wheels....

This vehicle is not molested -the body has no known damage. The fuel filter on top was removed to pull fuel out (short of that).
I used to add air to tires and they would slowly bleed down - it has those original low profile tires on it. I hate to let the junk yard come pick it up - With the hardtop Nice (which has been stored) and tonneau cover inside.

I see ebay junk Yard parting these out. Wow ebay sellers have the hardtop listed at $700 with $200 shipping!??! WOW?!??
I currently have the car on one half of my gravel driveway-so it should be pretty easy to retrieve (depending on skill and proper equipment) -
-
I just sold my top with stand and tools for $250 and thought that was pretty good. Running cars in the condition you're talking about usually go for $400 to $500. Good luck.
-
What you got for your hardtop seems "right" for what it is?!! Maybe the crazy part prices are insurance work?!?! The rest of the body parts seem expected reasonable that I am seeing-ok well the rear spoiler wings seem expensive also
Thank you. Some of the parted out stuff seems crazy high. _$199 for one wheel without center cap!?!! I just did a online "remove my car" where you put in the info (zip,running or not,tires-,title -no title etc)...It came out that they would come pick it up on flatback and pay me $355.-without anything but the car only!?! I am unsure if they crush the perfectly straight car,part it out of what?!? The little turbo engine should not me that hard to get running with the stupidly low miles on it .
Maybe I will just sell the hardtop with stand- the tonneau cover. Then have the junk yard come for it -just seems like a waste. -Anyway thanks
-
The three spoke wheels with caps usually go for most of that, but cheap without. That's a big price for a JY around here to give. I got $150 for a Chevrolet Caprice. Getting it running would probably require injectors or at least cleaning, fuel filters, new fuel and maybe a new fuel pump. The alcohol they put in gas really messes up the fuel system when left overtime.

Like these wheels??

yes

Ok very cool...I can get (sell) over $800 in wheels... $200 for my hard top.
I called the "local" junk yard and asked them what they would still give me -Without wheels and tires.
They said depending on final weight with title-somewhere between $200-$225 (if they pick it up) .
So maybe it make sense to try to part this think out-so the "Community" can benefit a little . I think the junk yard is going to crash it based on the weight comment!?!!
-
You probably won't get $800 for wheels. The prices you are seeing are grossly over-inflated, particularly on the ModernCapri website.
As is sits, based on similar non-running capris, it's worth $0-500. Noone's going to pay a premium for a parts car. Yes you can make more money by parting it out, but it takes a *lot* of time and effort to pull the parts, store them, find buyers and ship/meet/deliver parts. Some of the accessories like the hard top and tonneau cover will be easier to sell.
Someone will buy the whole car no problem for a price like that, but it will likely be a Festiva guy looking for just the engine. They'll sell some of the sought after parts that are easy to remove and ship, and scrap the rest.
Finding an enthusiast to grab is is also rather difficult, as we usually have a pile of orphans that also need attention :P
Your best bet is to spend a little time getting it running, you can then get top dollar for it.
-
Contact me before you sell it to the crusher.

Well ok no Problem. I have to go out of town for a couple of weeks. I was NOT looking to sell it as a "TOP dollar Parts car". But my point is its NOT a 0-$100 car?!! I can get $300 to $400 for 1960 Studebaker larks for some rust thru, with horrible paint.
I just did an online "sell your car instantly" -Peddle...
We pick it up and pay
$280
Soon after you accept this offer, we will contact you to arrange a time to pick up your car. At the time of pick up, we will inspect your car's condition and documentation, then pay you on the spot and tow it away!
We come to you
We pay you on the spot

Has anyone used this type of company? I am assuming they will part it out and crush it . The web site did not mention the hardtop or anything?!? Well anyway I have a flight out monday. Thanks everyone!! I need to locate my title!?!!
-
A title will definitely make it more valuable. I realize that they are rare and some of the parts are even more rare, but that doesn't make it valuable. What the market will pay determines it's value. I got a lot of parts off a perfectly good XR2 last year in a junkyard and cried because I know a rust-free low miles car is going to be crushed. Sell the wheels and top and get back with me.
-
What did you decide to do with your car?
-
Yeah that modern Capri parts site is insanely overpriced. I have to wonder if anyone has literally ever bought anything from there. I have a list of parts I need to find, that seem out of existence, that I've found only on that site. But for what that place wants, I'd rather pay someone to fabricate new ones. It'd honestly be cheaper.
Anways, good luck selling your Capri. If you were closer to me, I'd definitely come check it out, and I could probably be talked into buying it. One option you've got is to pull the engine, and try selling it to the 323 guys, Festiva guys, or hell even the Miata guys. With such low miles, you'd get more for the engine alone than you would for the whole (non-running) car. If you can get it to run and drive, you should be able to get somewhere around $500-$1000 on Craigslist or similar. These cars, unfortunately, aren't worth much.

I have several interested in the vehicle - Some of them want to take certain parts from it- some collision type parts and the standard wheels ,engine and such. I still have the standing offer from a couple on online junk yards to pick it up.
I am leaning on just doing that besides parting it out (mess with shipping wheels ect)- I guess the yards will do it. Locating the title - works been crazy.
Thanks all

The yard will pull the catalytic converter and more than likely crush the rest whole
