Mike, do you know the person who owns it?

Post by **negusm** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 1:37 pm

No, I pulled it off from ebay without saving the auction.

I have the VIN though.

Is it the same car? Looks it - - but IS it ??
Buy it Mike..Buy it !!

Yeah, it is. The vin matches.

Another car = D I V O R C E

I don't have the time or room right now. I don't even get to enjoy the one I have. It kills me to see alot of really cool cars go by for so little $$.

I am bidding on the car. Perfect mate for the ASC McLaren.

ponydude, if you get it, I am sooooo gonna have to take another trip to Hickory.

Remember, less than 500 of these 83 Black Magics with the bubble back were produced and not all were 5.0s or even loaded with options like this one.

Way to go, ponydude. Get it. Very nice roster of cars that you have there, too. It's always good to add another one to the mix.

I just hope to never see a white Black Magic in really good shape for sale, because I would probably have to pull the trigger and snag it. This car stuff just gets so out of hand sometimes.

Somebody at FEP went out and looked at it personally...

Sounds like the car is a WINNER!

You guys are great. I thoroughly enjoy the support from this group. I would really like to add the Black Magic to my collection. Unfortunately, I'm pretty close to my financial (or practical) limit.
Checked the FEP post and am watching all input there and here. Any further comments or suggestions on this auction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for support for this and on the "flooded vert".

It's my #1 favorite Capri, outside of the McLarens, & I too woulda loved it, but, I am one beep over the line of my financial limit and totally out of storage and of financial means to search for add'l. storage. I'm out. But THAT is my #1 fav Capri. Mike, I gotta check my facts books, but I do believe that the WHITE version was dropped after 1982 ... Yes?
Could one have had a 1983 Black Magic in WHITE ? I think not, but not 100% positive....what say you....

Post by **negusm** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 2:43 pm

The 1982 Salesman guide says the Black Magic came in Black Or White:

The 1983 (September) Salesman Guide just says black:

So I would imagine that you are correct Sandy.

I suppose I should hunt down an EARLY 1983 Upholstery Book...that would have the options that were available for the 83 Black Magic.

I'm positive that the White ended with the final year of the hatchback prior to the bubble-window hatchback...
