Ive got a V6 GT Capri that Im wondering what to do with. I know its a Ford but what do you guys reckon I should do? It still runs, and has only had 2 registered owners. Has a replacement engine, but the original engine is in the shed, and it is otherwise untouched. Pretty good for a 44 year old car so Im hesitant to restore it, as its only original once. Im considering putting the windscreen in and getting it roadworthied and on club rego and just taking it to car shows as is for a year or so before the resto. Might get the interior fixed a bit, but otherwise, maybe just show it off as a survivor.

What do you think I should do with it?
Your Capri reminded me of this old GT, a classic and a survivor. It's unrestored, it's on the road, it has survived. That's my take on a survivor, all the bits it came with, with the exception of general wear and tear and maintenance. I don't see why there has to be a level of condition put on something to have survived, it just has to survive. I know people will disagree, and that's fine with me. Life would be boring if we were all the same.
