Capris were made in Europe and sold by Mercury dealers. Every one I remember had a four-cylinder engine. There were a few sporty models but I don't remember seeing one like that. I'll bet it is a model that wasn't normally imported into the US. Would be a great car with a 5.0!
That's what threw me for a loop. I've pretty much known every single car that has been made since the invetntion of the automobile. I'm just surprised that there was any car that I did not know about!
That would make one heck of a street rod! If I was closer and had more garage space I may pick it up. That could be really cool but really expensive to build.
I remember the car line as English Fords. This one reminds me of 61 and 63 Comets that I had in high school and college, espceially when viewing from the rear. Of course, Mercury took the name for the Mercury Mustang after they enlarged the Cougar.
I bought a new 1974 Capri with a 2800 CC V-6 and 4spd. I decided on the Capri instead of a new Mustang II as it seemed more like a "smaller" Mustang than did the Mustang IIs.
I owned a 1973 capri, v-6 4 spd. I drove it form cal. to nj. The rear axle came out[with tire and rim attached] while I was doing 65 or so in san jose, and flew by me and slammed into the shoulder. besides that it was a cool car.....
