1985 Mercury - Capri

Fahrzeugbeschreibung

1985 Mercury Capri ASC McLaren 5.0 SC Convertible, finished in Muscat Red with a tan soft top and a tan interior. This Capri is one of a reported 250 ASC McLaren convertibles produced for 1985. The five-digit odometer registers approximately 15,900 miles. Equipment includes 15-inch alloy wheels, a Traction-Lok limited-slip differential, Heated and power-adjustable Recaro leather seats with headrest speakers, power locks and windows, wood interior trim, air conditioning, cruise control, and more as detailed below.Modifications reported by the seller are limited to an aftermarket head unit and a Holley Sniper adjustable fuel injection system with a cockpit-mounted control panel.First used to denote a German-built coupe, the Capri nameplate returned to the Mercury range for 1979 on a more upscale evolution of the Ford Mustang. Several visual cues differentiated the two Fox-based coupes, and the Capri was exclusively available as a hatchback (the Mustang was also offered as a notchback). Production ended in 1986.Mercury never approved a convertible version of the Capri, so the American Sunroof Corporation (ASC) stepped in to perform the conversion. Removing the top required making substantial modifications: the A-pillars were raked back by nearly 3 inches and additional bracing was fitted to offset the loss of structural rigidity. Most historians agree about 552 units of the top-less Capri were built between the 1984 and 1986 model years.Power comes from a 5.0-liter V8, rated at approximately 200 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission.
