For Sale: 1979 Mercury Capri in Lavergne, Tennessee

Vehicle Description

Hugging the streets in its vibrant Hugger Orange paint, this 1979 Mercury Capri RS Turbo is a rare gem from Ford's Fox platform debut. The clean lines are punctuated by a bold yellow pinstripe that dances along the sides, while the hood scoop teases the turbocharged power within. Rolling on 15" Weld Racing wheels wrapped in P215/65R15 tires up front and meaty P255/60R15 in the rear, this Capri has a stance that's both aggressive and confident.

The Tan vinyl interior is a time capsule of '70s cool, with bucket seats and a center console that put you in command. The crack-free dash houses a cassette-equipped AM/FM radio, a premium option in its day. The overall cabin remains in impressive shape, showing the care this Capri has received over the years.

Pop the latch, and you'll find a tidy 2.3L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission for a hands-on driving experience. The factory engine bay houses a factory replacement exhaust and front disc brakes, while the rear suspension boasts a sway bar and KYB shocks for enhanced handling prowess.
