Customs Ever seen one of these ?

A friend showed up this morning with this,,,a 1962 FORD Capri GT
he bought and shipped it from over the pond last November..
Right hand drive, this thing is smaller than a falcon , But DANG
How cool is this,,,I’m picturing a Gasser !

 

So ugly it's cute!

 

Cool! I would hunt down the original wheels & covers and drive it as is. It is already a unique car not commonly seen in North America.

 

Dig it

 

@Nads

.. I like it just fine.

 

Looks like a Lark and a Corvair bumped the ugly bits

 

We had them here in Canada with a Consul badge on them.
Cool car!!

 

dare to be different

 

It would look even better with one of these under the hood.......

 

That a bubbletop?

 

I am agreeable to different. Cool

 

British Ford , right hand drive.
We had something similar, but I was too young to notice back then.
Google images - ‘Ford consul capri ‘ some interesting variations.

 

I have a set of original wheels, be happy to trade for those iconic Minilites!

 

looks a bit like an early Mercury comet ( 60-62 )

 

My uncle had the 4 door version, like this one.

 

Gasser? That thing needs to get lowered and made into a mild custom.

It's awesome. I'd leave it in its current configuration.

 

We have them in Sweden,I like it.

 

We had a few imported down here from the UK, you may see one occassionaly at a car event. Kinda cool! Ford here did offer the later version of the Capri with the 4 & V6.

 

Called a 316 Consul over here in New Zealand, Cool little cars..

I remember seeing one in the late 70s.

 

Even a gasser kook like me knows @goldmountain has the right idea. Keen car, it's gonna be appealing no matter the build. Here's a full sizer

 

This engine will bolt right in that gem. Love it.

 

Mini Sunliner!

 

I love it!!

 

Love it!
Love it more with a shorter windshield ! My favorite wheels, (always a sports car guy)

 

Oh no, please.....

I'd send a couple of pics to the Photoshop gurus in the Photoshop Thread and ask for some ideas on it....might be interesting.

 

Yes, they are cool with that sloper roof. Hamber Nads has a very cool one, like a mini tail dragger.
