The black Capri is one of 3 prototypes build by Ford in 1978 a company called funguson designed and built them . It's the only known survivor so very rare. It's been hidden away for the past 10 years. It's got some very interesting parts on it that's for sure. 3.1 v6 Essex on a Holley 4 barrel carb, auto box.

So are these your cars? If so what plans do you have for them? I think the 4x4 system was developed by Fergerson ( the tractor manufacturer ? ) and this Capri was way ahead of its time.

Co ownership with my dad. The mk1 is also pre rare too 2000gt xlr,it is a ex concourse car with 24,000 miles on the clock. The 4X4 is a genuine Ferguson but needs a full rebuild. Had both cars running within afew hours the other night.

Your supercharged White Capri looks like a beast, what sort of performance does it give? You should sell it easily and for a tidy sum I reckon.
The 4x4 will be amazing once you have finished restoring it and a real bit of Ford history.
all very nice cars indeed, used to be a of john hills CCI back in the day and only let go of my R3 3.1 a few years back after 31 yrs of ownership, your white mk3 and the mk1 brought it all back to me

The white Capri needs mapping so I am not to sure on the power yet, I think it should be around 350.

That sort of power should make a very rapid Capri!
When I lived in Adelaide , South Australia I had an Aussie Mk 1 V6 essex engined Capri which had lots of Swaymar Engineering performance parts , stage 3 heads, different cams,rocker gear and a holley 4 barrel carb which pushed the power up to around 180bhp. That went well, so with 350bhp on tap yours will be very powerful!

I don't want to teach anyone to such eggs and I love your capri's by the way, but if your pictures are taken on a smart phone just make sure they aren't marked with you gps co-ordinents, can't remember where I seen a post but nice classics where being taken by this method and as it looks like where they are stored I'd hate for your lovely motors to get in the wrong hands
I'm sorry to spoil the fun but it'd be such a shame for anything bad to happen.
Check this article out, it can be turned off, I'm not sure where the thread was that I read it but it may be a mixture of a thread about classic fords being targeted recently and then a thread about this geotagging business, I had to double check too luckily I had come across this before and it had been turned off.
