Talking So.... i got a new toy

don't hate on it cause it's dirty in the pics.... i couldnt exactly clean it in the guys garage... haha
anyway, i just bought this 83 capri for 500 bucks. bought it from the original owner with 89,000 miles on it. i even have the original title that says ford credit company. so i know it's legit. it's a V6, but most likely i'm going to put a 351 in down the line.
good find?
