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.
