Mercury Capri
The Mercury Capri isn't one car but three distinct generations, starting as a nimble German captive import before its second generation became a stylish twin to the Fox-body Mustang.
Find one with Spotter →Typical sold price of a Mercury Capri ranges from $1,597 to $33,699, based on 178 sales tracked on Hypercars. 35 currently for sale.
The Mercury Capri nameplate covers three distinct cars sold in North America. From 1970 to 1978, it was a German-built captive import known for its European styling. The second generation, from 1979 to 1986, was a twin to the Fox-body Ford Mustang, and a final, Australian-built convertible was sold from 1991 to 1994.
Collectors appreciate different versions for unique reasons. First-gen cars are prized for their light weight and nimble handling, especially with the 2.8L V6. The Fox-body models, particularly the 5.0L V8-powered RS and the limited-production ASC/McLaren convertible, attract American muscle enthusiasts looking for a slightly different flavor of Mustang.
The market reflects this diversity, with an average sale price around $12,584. While many are affordable drivers, top-tier examples drive the market's high end. A well-preserved first-gen V6 or a low-mileage ASC/McLaren can easily command prices above $30,000, with the very best examples exceeding $50,000.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the main enemy across all generations; inspect floor pans, shock towers, and lower body panels carefully.
- For Fox-body cars, the 5.0L V8 is the most desirable engine and benefits from massive aftermarket support shared with the Mustang.
- Know which generation you're buying, as parts for the first-gen European cars and third-gen Australian convertibles are much harder to find than for the Fox-body.
- If you're looking at a special model like an RS or ASC/McLaren, verify its authenticity with trim codes and unique features.
