These German built Fords were sold through Lincoln / Mercury dealers in the US. They sold fairly well, but you just don't see them around anymore.
This car, except for a paint job, is all original. It looks to be in overall good condition.
In his ad, the seller writes "This would make a great driver as (is) or make it into a RS 2600 replica." No! No! No! Capris in this condition are few and far between. Keep it as is. Please.

From what I can tell, 2000 of these were built. It was the first Firebird / Trans Am to come with Recaro seats. The engine is a 4.9-Liter Turbocharged V8. All were white and came with the red / gray interior.
This is not my cup of tea, but if it's yours, this one appears to be in very, very, nice condition.

A big thanks to Clint for sending me the link to this car!

Based on the Corvair platform, but with a shorter wheelbase (95" vs. 108"), the driver actually sat right above the front wheels. This gave the Corvair 95 all sorts of room in the back, but essentially made the driver's feet and legs the crumple zone in the event of a front end collision.
The side ramp was a stroke of genius. The engine, of course, sat in the rear. The rear portion of the bed had to be higher than the front in order for it to clear the engine. While Chevy did offer a Corvair 95 with a conventional tailgate (the Loadside), it was awkward lifting cargo up over the engine cover. The Rampside eliminated that problem. Cargo could be rolled or carried up the ramp.
This Rampside is in overall good condition. It needs some minor work. It has a later 110 HP engine. Unfortunately, it also now has an automatic transmission.
