1983 Capri With the "Sport Package"

[negusm]

Picking up this cnversation again, here are the pics PETER sent me! This guy claims that he installed this package (sans side and rear mouldings) back in 1983 from ascMcLaren:

I just want to vote that I think this is the SAME air dam that the guy with the CC installed on his car in this magazine ad:



It definitely isn't what is pictured in the "Sport Package" brochure:



My speculation is that the sport package brochure is something VERY early and what was actually produced was different than the sales pitch that they threw together. The order form in the "Sports Package" doesn't even have an air dam that looks like the one on the cover.

Thoughts?

mike can you like not see its the EXACT same as the one on the sports package and i said he added the side skirts and rear valance later he got them from hank how long ago i dont know he did have head light covers too but they were not like the ASC covers at all...

try looking past the fog lights its the exact same air damn... like i said it had a finishing strip and side exstentions... it was all the exact same as mine but no fog light holes

OK, I'm looking really hard at the picture of the front of that car and cannot see the same vents as in the picture of the brochure.

Are they an the 83 Capri that you saw? Or was it 100% solid air dam behind the fog lights?

OK, dammit. I looked and looked at all the pictures and am just confused about it all now.

I see that all the air dams should have a vent opening in the middle.

Just ignore me

Mike,

I think that Crimson Cat picture is confusing you. The air dam is black and it has a front license plate, all of which conspire to make the lower vents quite elusive! I agree with tfs2121, I think they're one in the same.

mike the vent is behind the fog lights you think its diff cuz the pic of the white car dosent have fog lights this one the hole is hiding behind the fog lights as the bracket for the fog lights went through the vent hole

Just a side note, the Crimson Cat listed above owned by Rufus Wells is for sale, he is asking 10,000. The car has low mileage.

Do you know, is it possible to get pictures of the car? Inside and out?

It would be nice to have some pictures of a low mileage CC...along with any info he has about the car.

Too bad I'm not in the market. I have seen sooooo many Capris in the past year alone I would die to have....

Mike,

The way I found out the car is for sale is, this weekend (at the Columbus all Ford swap) his son was walking around with sign on his back with the car for sale. I stopped him, and chatted with him briefly about the car. He stated the car is as it was delivered from the dealer. I should have jotted down his phone number, but I slipped up and didn't. How many Crimson Cats do you think had the dealer installed ASC kit? Better yet, how many are still around and have low mileage? It would be a neat car to collect. One thing I did notice this weekend was the interest level of Capri's and special interest Capri's is on the rise!

I was thinkign maybe I will call him and just see if he would be interested in supplying some pictures.

It would be nice to see a well preserved specimen.
