and mercury had the nerve to remake the capri and make it look like some b.s. 2 door chicks car that came in a convertible? how could u screw that up? you'll never get better than this!
twas the sister car of the fox chassis mustang. Tis a pity Mercury changed the Capri into something far from beautiful (or powerful for that matter) after '86.
@NotYour94Ranger Well, it was the Mercury counterpart of the Mustang until 1987 when the Aero Fox Chassis Mustang come into the market. Ergo, they shared similar body design, only a different tailight ass. and front end ('84+). Perhaps the Probe proposition (FWD Mustang) made Mercury engage in a similar project, which would make sense because of the shitty design and the fact that the Capri became FWD. A short lived legend it is, the Capri; cherished by many who are fortuned enough to own one.
@HPG45 This generation of Mercury Capri - yes .... the name Mercury Capri - nooo ... before this one, Mercury Capri was a name of an european version of Ford Capri - made in UK or Germany from 68 till 87 ... imported to US market in 70-77 . They were powered by 1.6 , 2.0 (only first years) & 2.3 4 cyl (known from Mustang II) or 2.6 / 2.8 V6 on US market. It was a nice small car , rear wheel drive but took too much customers from Mustang, so they killed it in 79 when foxbody Stang came ...
So bizarre how the Capri name has been used on such a different variety of cars over the years.
