It appears to be a 58-60 T-Bird, but I am not sure just which of those years. It was the first body style after the 2 seaters of 55-57. A friend of mine had a 59 in high school with a factory 430 Lincoln engine. Fast, but thirsty.
Capri is a name Ford has use here and there over the years. Some 50"s Lincolns had the model name Capri, and they were large cars. Then in the late 60"s and early 70"s Capri was the name of a small European coupe that Mercury marketed. Starting in about 1979, and for quite a few years after, Mercury marketed their version of the Mustang as the Capri, with relatively minor changes to make it a little different than the Mustang.
It is too bad the owner did not store the picture T-Bird better. It looks very straight and complete and probably would have been a fairly easy car to restore. But with it sitting on the ground as it appears to be, I would expect it would need floors, maybe a frame and lots of suspension components. But maybe the owner enjoyed watching a nice car deteriorate. It"s their car...but probably a parts car now and worth a whole lot less that it might have been a few years ago. Oh well!!!
