5k: Short Pants With Teeth: 1972 Mercury Capri V8 Perana Wannabe

UPDATE: 5/19/2014 The seller has re-listed this car on EBay claiming a non-paying bidder.  The previous Ebay listing closed at $4,683 and the seller has now lowered his price to $4,500, while still fishing for $5,500 on Craigslist.  Maybe the last high bidder noticed the plates expired in 2009. (See story below for details)

Sometimes my bleary eyed searches for Daily Turismos take me down hazy nostalgic paths reminding of gentler times and sporting cars of years gone by. Other times, most frequently after my third cup of coffee, I'm off too Hoonville where I latch onto cars like this V8 swapped 1972 Capri, in Granada Hills, CA via Craigslist for $6,500 as tipped by Dirk S. This 1972 Mercury Capri V8 Perana Wannabe is also on Ebay with more hi resolution pictures, currently bidding at $4,483 with a few hours left to go.
