SnakeCharmer's 1982 Mercury Capri

Factory Options:

This was an original Black Magic car that somebody a few owners previous to me had turned into a drag car and installed the Mustang Nose. I bought it as an empty shell with no drivetrain and built it back up. I had intentions of turning it back into a Capri but gave up after trying to locate a hood for over a year. I sold is a rolling Chassis in March of 2008.
