1982 Mercury Capri Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Well, for me it was a nice car because it was fast enough for my liking, with a strong enging, a 4-speed manual transmission and a T-top, it was everything i wanted and a whole lot more, even my brother liked the way it worked!

This was my second car that i owned. the mercury capri was nothing more than a rebadged Ford Mustang, but in my opinion it was the better looking car. the from end was cleaner. But overall. what i was driving had same mechanicals as the famed pony car.

Rat Rod 4 cylinder chassis with a swapped in 5.0. This car was meant for go and not show. Striaght line performance was great, handling was very poor due to stock 4 cylinder shocks and springs. Basic trim, no luxury's. Nick named the Purple People Eater. $1000 for 13.9 1/4 basically stock. Tire roasting fury!
