Collector Alert!

Very rare, original and street legal Ford Capri RS 2600.

The RS2600 Capri model is a homologation “special” manufactured by Ford of Europe to classify special competition parts for FIA racing.
The RS2600 Capri won every championship in its FIA division, including the 24 Hours of LeMans, European Touring Car, German Touring Car, and the Tour de France.

Prominent drivers like Niki Lauda, Jochen Mass, Jackie Stewart, Jean Todt, Hans Joachim Stuck and Dieter Glemser were among the pilots of the RS Capris and driving these legendary cars to many victories during the hey days of European Touring Car Racing. Unforgettable are the Ford-BMW wars of the early 70’s when the Capri RS battled the mighty E9 BMW CSL.

These “Germany Cologne built” homologation street RS models were never sold in the United States and came from the factory with a high compression, mechanically fuel injected 2.6l V6 motor. Our car is one of perhaps a handful in the United States and for sure the only LeMans green/white example with a period correct wide body in the world. 3522 examples of the street legal RS were built, less than 100 are believed to have survived. This is one of the rarest road going, high performance street cars out of Germany from the early 70’s. Period motor journalists dubbed the 2600 RS “The Porsche killer.”

Highly original, well maintained and mechanically sorted with complete owner history from new. Owner documentation goes back to day one. This example was never raced or abused. The car was taken off the road with a non op registration in 1991 and stored. All wide body parts, the rear wing and the rare BBS E30 wheels are from Fords official RS Motorsport Program, approved and documented by German Tuv in the early 70’s! All four of the BBS 3 piece magnesium rims are factory Ford stamped! A fascinating vehicle and a true European racing legend. Registered and road licensed in California since 2019. This rare RS is part of my personal collection since 2007.

The car runs and drives fantastic and is presented in selected shows and Cars and Coffee events in Northern California. Pay attention, you will never see another one!
It comes with a clean California title as well as the original German registration papers including the original title from 1973 and should be eligible for most historic tours, shows and events worldwide.

Extremely rare opportunity to find a real European RS 2600 here in the United States.
