It was created and built as a return to the Capri market for the ROKSTOCK brand. But also for its WOW FACTOR statement that it makes as a European Ford Capri with amazing credentials. As it once was a American run racecar with a Ford 302 V/ 8 motor, its classic road-warrior patina was kept in place. As you can see, its now pristine condition still shines through, but still honors its past history. It has been road tested for safety issues as well as both engine and chassis Dyno tested. The special ROKSTOCK Capri has a multitude of potential with slight changes and/ or modifications for several different racecar venues; a drag-racer, a track car, even a street car, BUT, in its current state, and as you can see... it makes for a super/ impressive, incredibly well designed and engineered jaw-dropping one-of-a-kind; ROKSTOCK CAPRI SHOWCAR. If your looking for a good future investment choice in a car, this is a Ford Capri that will ultimately gain in future value as a ROKSTOCK CAPRI. IF you ARE sincerely interested in this Capri contact ROK personally at the email address or better yet by phone. This could be the very last Ford Capri built-modified and created by ROK (Richard Owen Kiser) of ROKSTOCK Capri fame. The very first American USA Capri aftermarket parts and accessories AND specialty car production operation of the 1970's. As the Ford Capri was imported and sold through Ford Lincoln Mercury Dealerships from 1970-1977. ROKSTOCK earned two (2) front cover credits and approximately 21-22 road and track tested articles on its parts & accessories and its high-performance ROKSTOCK RSR turbo Capri cars. With a few less than 50 total RSR turbo's built and the RSR turbo package sold through its extensive mail-order operation, these special RSR turbo Capri's ARE very rare. This RSRGT Capri IS a one of a kind for sure. And that no doubt will be valued even more as time goes on. And at 79 and 80 in August and when the ROK leaves the building, this Capri will come in line for a great addition to a real car collectors collection of unique machinery. The real historic provenance of the ROKSTOCK Capri brand also was the brand that its designs and actual components were copied and replicated by several companies and individuals as the ROKSTOCK Capri parts and its RSR cars received such honorable mention and excellent accolades from the leading automotive engineering editors of the day.
There is a book in the works, telling the true story of the RS brands start to its untimely end as a result of the USA's negative economic storm of the late 79'early 80's and the discontinuation of the European Ford Capri into the USA. The untimely and huge building expansion move to include other cars for its parts and service's proved the death blow to the nitch-market company. But ROK believed this RSRGT Capri and as its interesting and very serious statement would recreate new interest for a comeback of the once-well-know Capri operation, but found out sadly that the interests from the current Capri owners of the world WERE more interested in his RSR turbo Capri II's. ROK still owns the first #001 RSR turbo Capri and that after an extensive restoration (as it was stolen and away from ROK for 20 years) but as its motor/ trans and drive-train were removed to be freshened up before the car was stolen. ROKSTOCK still has the correct and proper components for the total restoration, as the car was outside for all the years it went missing.) That special and famous #001 ROKSTOCK RSR turbo Capri WILL be up for sale. ROK is taking offers and consider conversations regarding that Capri car, IF your interested as well.
ROKSTOCK will include ALL shipping costs on the RSRGT Capri anywhere in the world at the listed-price of $215, 000.
The RSRGT Capri IS a FRESH BUILD, everything IS NEW except the body as it was left as per its racecar-road-warrior statement and its patina, (hood and trunk lid were re-painted) However, as its structural-re-engineered body-chassis-suspension to its magnificent AC NUTTER and ROKSTOCK designed 351c Cleveland big block FORD engine and its modified C6 transmission, 9'' Ford rear-end assembly and ALL of its special parts/ components that make up a safe-sound and incredible beast-monster of a Capri II, its quite a handful and its raw-brute sound is beyond words to explain, its onlookers upon start up ARE blown-away. This special ROKSTOCK RSRGT Capri is without a doubt an incredible good-investment deal at this point in its existence. For some astute individual it will be a wind-fall purchase. But, that feature current and future value is up for potential thinking. But at the moment ROK believes his car and with all of its ROKSTOCK Capri provenance, for all of its historic value of giving thousands (30, 000+) of Ford Capri owners in North America and Canada with a brand of components and Capri cars to look up to... a line of special Capri parts and cars to ascribe to. Not all agree with the importance and/ or value of the RS Capri brand as not all agree with the ROK input-credit (not being an accredited engineer nor a racecar driver, how could all of those RS components have come to life?) I simply trusted too many and simply didn't legally protect my brand and my Capri product ideas as good as I should have. But it all comes out in my ROKSTOCK Capri Story by you know who and to include all the good, the bad and the ugly of what it actually took for me (and from me) to start, develop and produce the ROKSTOCK Capri Show. And in the meantime, I got a few cars to sell and find good homes for and work on the book, sound fair? And in closing, IF (the biggest-little word in the world) I had the right and truly sincere interest and coupled with the proper financial backing for another run of specialty ROKSTOCK Capri cars, I may change my mind. As I may be 79, I am a young and so far, healthy 79 year old person with several different ROK car projects on my drawing board (to include several ROKSTOCK branded products as well) and that I would love to do, but money IS the deciding factor and especially in todays world of business. But I am open to intelligent conversation in those areas, IF you're interested? ROK
