The Mercury Capri, a stylish and sporty coupe produced from 1979 to 1986, was a testament to Ford's desire to capture the burgeoning European sports car market in North America. Built upon the underpinnings of the Ford Mustang II, the Capri offered a unique blend of European styling and American muscle. The car's sloping roofline, distinctive grille, and wraparound rear window gave it a sleek and sophisticated appearance. Though sharing its platform with the Mustang II, the Capri received a distinctive front end design, featuring a more European-inspired grille, headlights, and bumpers. Available in various trim levels, the Capri offered a variety of powertrain options, including the lively 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, the potent 2.8-liter V6, and the powerful 5.0-liter V8. This range of powerplants ensured that the Capri could cater to a diverse range of driving preferences, from economical commuting to exhilarating performance. The Mercury Capri, despite its sporty aspirations, was ultimately a practical and affordable vehicle. Its compact size made it nimble and easy to maneuver in urban environments, while its comfortable interior offered a surprisingly spacious cabin for occupants. The Capri's versatility made it a popular choice for a wide range of buyers, from young professionals seeking a stylish daily driver to families needing a reliable and economical car. However, the sporty styling and limited backseat space contributed to its eventual demise. In the face of increasing competition from more practical and fuel-efficient vehicles, the Mercury Capri was discontinued in 1986, leaving behind a legacy of stylish design and affordable performance. The 1979-1986 Factory Workshop Service Repair Manual would be an invaluable tool for any owner or enthusiast seeking to maintain, restore, or repair their classic Mercury Capri.
