Its a little rough round the edges and dead on its plates but complete. Ball park figger anyone!

Comes down to how rusty it is I suppose. It's not something you see for sale every day so there's little basis for comparison.

Yeah its been siting for 10+ years rust is to bad eg corner are bubble doors guards boot etc. He wants around $1200 for it has nos that comes with it but still not sure if its worth that

If its rusty, dead rego etc etc surely it's only worth scarp value.Unless there is a line of people who want it why would you offer more than 2-300!

I was thinking more 800 as they were on produce for a short time

The front struts are probably worth $400 the pair.
A nice 315 is probably worth $3k.

Are you going to fix the rust yourself! Bear in mind that it will end up costing many thousands to have it repaired by a panelbeater. It would probably save you money in the long run if you found one with very little rust and paid more for it. But, everybody loves a masochist. At that price it would have to have some redeeming features like a mint interior and good mechanicals and even then it's probably overpriced.

Yeah rust i will do myself interior isnt to bad. price is mainly up because the racing boys keep making offers for the motor and front struts for their mk1 cortinas.

My Bro-in-law is just going thru a similar exercise.has so far spent about $8k and still has to do paint, rechrome, tyres, upholstery, RUST, revin.Could have bought a fully restored (almost concourse) example of his project for $14K.I'm betting he's going to have to spend way more than $14K and will still only have an average car.

You don,t see many of them now and even less of the 2 door Capri same shape.

The struts are good for Anglias, not so good for Cortinas

Now one of those would be worth getting hold of.

the reality is when buying a resto project the price you initially payfor the car doesn't mean a lot esp when it's a cheapy, $300/800/ 1200,doesn't really matter unless your budget is tight,you'll spend money on a hobby car ,just like any hobby,if you think it's worth $800 and you get it for that sweet,if you had to pay $200 more, at a grand,in the scheme of things would the extra really matter!it's not like your paying 5-10K for a project car

Yeah so anyone got a ball park figger! id love to walk away but its the 1st one i could track down. I'm sure their are plenty out their must be hidden away in sheds

like I said mate if you're happy to pay $800 then offer that,they are getting hard to find plus as you said it has some NOS with it,you can't get a decent worthwhile project for nothing ,unless you're lucky, so $800 -1000 odd,don't think you'll go too far wrong,I sold a 315 years ago for $500 - project car ,also sold a consul capri at thesame time,that was a cool car

I think you would be hard pressed to find much in the way of 315 ( or classic as they were known in the UK ) anywhere in NZ, & finding parts like tail lights, etc. could be like looking for rocking horse poo.

my old man had one of these. My mother in her infinite wisdom made him give it away.At the same time made him sell a '64 falcon for $500.
this still pisses me off to this day.Moral of the story most women are shallow they dont appreciate cars or anything that isnt new shiny or theirs.
Anyway good luck with your project fordrulez. my advice if you want it then snap it up quickly cause there isnt many around.

LOL.Years ago, my Dad's best pal's wife, cleared out the shed(s) when her father-in-law died. In that shed, unmolested, was my Dad's Vincent HRD 350, his pal's 350 AJS and in the wooden garage at the side of the house, the old boy's Indian.Never even approached my Dad to see if he wanted to remove his bike.All went for scrap!
Mum leaned on dad to get rid of his garaged 1934 Singer 9 coupe, which went for 5 quid in 1964.Now only 12 left in the world.

unfortunately i also know some guys that are the same, cant appreciate the classics or see the potential in anything they just see it as being old junk.I dont think these people have souls, they're shallow, always wanting the newest best stuff.Pay a fortune for it and then 5 years down the track its worth 10% of what they paid for it.They also seem to be the most opinionated about what other people should be doing with their lives/stuff.

Wernt exactlya sort after carmay be rare now that rest have gone to the boneyardJust because its old doesnt make it a classic& finding parts will be a mission .

Yeh they werent common even when the old man had his back in theearly 80's.Infact thats the only one i had ever seen up until i saw one for sale on here a couple of years back.Couldve been the same car even.

I think they're quite an appealing car for their unusual shape as well as being based around the good old Kent engine. A GT Capri would be worth quite a bit now, especially the one we once worked on with chrome wires in red.
