When you think of your favorite sports cars of the 80's, Mercury
Capri is one that is often overlooked. From 1979 to 1986, the
Mercury Capri was built on the same Fox platform as the Ford
Mustang and could be optioned with the High-Output 5.0 liter V8.
From 1984 to 1986, these great sports cars were further improved
through a partnership between ASC (American Specialty Cars) and
Bruce McLaren Racing and were transformed into the quickest car
that Mercury produced between 1984 and 1986. That is exactly what
we have here in this very original 1986 Mercury Capri ASC/McLaren
roadster. This Capri ASC/McLaren presents in overall excellent
condition with just over 16,000 actual miles documented by the
title. Only 245 ASC/McLaren roadsters were produced for the 1986
production year with just 12 of those being finished in ASC White
paired with the Tan leather interior and Tan convertible top. The
ASC White exterior on this Mercury Capri in in excellent condition
with only minor defects to note. Complimenting the ASC White
exterior are the period-correct ASC/McLaren stripes and White
honeycomb-style McLaren wheels wrapped in the original Goodyear
Eagle tires. The Tan leather interior is in excellent condition
with little to no wear present. Both factory Recaro seats are in
excellent condition with plenty of padding. The Tan cloth
convertible top is in very good condition with the only defects
being two minor pinholes on the passenger side. Powering this
excellent ASC/McLaren is its original 5.0 liter High-Output V8
backed by its 4-speed AOD automatic transmission. Both the engine
and transmission perform just as they should and deliver a very fun
and sporty driving experience. While driving the Capri ASC/McLaren,
the suspension modifications performed by McLaren become very
evident as the car rides and handles the road much better than your
standard Foxbody Mustang. This Mercury Capri is very well equipped
with factory options such as: power steering, power front disc
brakes, air-conditioning, heated seats, dual power Recaro seats
with headrest speakers, power door locks, power windows,
AM/FM/Cassette stereo, radar detector, intermittent wipers, in-dash
tachometer, and heater/defrost. If you are in the market for an
excellent, collector grade Foxbody convertible that is turn-key
ready for that spirited Sunday drive down your favorite back road
or to your local cruise-in/car show, then you will want to take a
very close look at this 1986 Mercury Capri ASC/McLaren
roadster.
