1985 ASC Mclaren Capri
So I was visiting the junk yard the other day when a 1985 ASC Mclaren Capri caught my eye.
I decided to buy it from the junkyard despite it missing the rear end, front tires, and most ASC labeled parts.
Its 1 of 257 convertibles made that year. Unfortunately its too far gone to restore so I'm gonna part it out. (Someone flipped the car)
The fun part was getting it off the trailer when it had no wheels on it. (I had to borrow the Cobra R's from my 93 and use 2 jacks + 3 other friends. LOL)

You and your buddy should have had a couple of beers in your hands for that pic. That would make a good public service announcement at prom time.

Your neighbors must have loved seeing that being dropped on the driveway, hopefully it's worth your time / money to part it.
