  1. These were imported into Canada but Canadians didn't know what they were. I got lucky and got one that had been tooled (A 1973 2.6 V6 with Headers, high rise manifold, four barrel carb, forged pistons) it was the M3 before there was an M3. I bought another one to use as parts for the first. Too much power for the OEM LOL. Young and just wanted to go fast LOL. Ran Amateur rally and had a blast. Then they made them into Mustangs but still called them Capri (In North America 1977). Now I drive an actual M3.

  2. I just realized I made the mistake and corrected the engine size to the 2.6 V6. Doh!

  3. As well the heads were not original so that proper headers could be fit onto it. But my second car was all original. So the heads would have been the Siamese as they had. The Essex 3.0 never got put into the North American versions for some reason. I think they quit importing them before the 3.0 was available. Then all we got was a bad version of a Fox Body Mustang with Capri badging.
