Ford of Europe's version of the Mustang, the Capri launched in 1969 with classic long-hood, short-deck proportions. It was sold with a wide variety of engines, from economical 4-cylinders to powerful V6s, making it an incredibly popular coupe across Europe. Production spanned three major generations, known as the Mk I, Mk II, and Mk III, until it was discontinued in 1986.
Collectors are drawn to the Capri for its sharp styling and its relative rarity in North America. European performance models like the RS2600 and the later 2.8 Injection are especially sought after for their motorsports heritage and engaging driving dynamics. With straightforward mechanicals and good parts availability from Europe, it's an approachable classic for enthusiasts.
The current market reflects the vast difference between standard models and top-tier performance variants. With an average sale price around $31,000, the best examples are proving to be solid investments. Pristine, low-mileage V6 cars and professionally restored models command the highest prices, as collectors continue to appreciate Europe's popular pony car.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the Capri's primary enemy; thoroughly inspect sills, floor pans, suspension turrets, and the area around the headlights.
- Check V6 engines for rumbling from the bottom end and 4-cylinder Pinto engines for excessive camshaft wear.
- Interior trim is hard to find. Cracked dashboards and torn original seat fabric on special models can be very costly to rectify.
- Many Capris were modified. Verify the car's identity with VIN and engine codes, especially if it's presented as a rare performance model like an RS or 2.8i.
Prices range from approximately $11,000 for projects to over $66,000 for top-spec variants in excellent condition.
