I`m looking at buying a 1966 Comet Capri and I`d like to know: What were the differences between a Comet, Comet Capri and the caliente. Its in nice shape other than the fact that somebody made homestyle type flares to the rear quarters which will be coming out and I`ll have to find new rear quarters. Is there a company that sells new panels for these cars?[/img]

The Capri is a trim level. it is just below Caliente, only available in 2dr hard top.

I have a Capri that was a 289, 2v, auto car.

whatelse do you want to know.

Will a person have to fabricate his own wheel wells or are there 1/4`s made for these cars? Everything I`ve read, makes me believe that there isn`t a whole lot of repo parts for these cars. If I have to make my own, are these wheel well openings the same on a falcon or something else, that a guy could cut and fit?

I don't know how easy it would be to find a set of 1/4's.. best to ask on this forum or on the Comet East forum.. there are a bunch of guys there that might be able to help you out...

good luck

try autokrafters. they do advertise some panels, but you will want to call and talk to them to confirm...
