Yes, it's georgous ~ but I would want a bubble back 1983 version. IF IF IF an 82 or 81 I'd prefer a White Lightening version.

When they changed to the bubble back ALOT of people did not like it and sales went into the dumpster. (1983-1986) - but, in retrospect now, I think the bubbleback has endured the passage of time better than the earlier roof line. Perhaps in 83-86 time frame it was too radical a change.

But, this one is breathtaking, 4-sure. And a 302 V8 !!

I see that the combination of a Black Magic (any year) with Automatic Trans AND the 302 V-8 was never made available, so I can stop looking.

The 1st year for the 302 H.O. WITH 4-Speed Automatic was 1984.

By looking at that 82 Magic I can now see why people
put Mustang noses on Capris :shock:
I had a couple Black Magics but nothing like that one.

82 Capris were the BEST Fox body ever
(except a Jade Green 79 RS :D )

That car is sweet.
