1979 Mercury Capri - Four-Eye Flyer

This Fox-Based Capri Has Become A Family FavoriteThe '79-'86 generation of Capri's are unique in that this was the only time the Capri was ever offered with a V-8 engine. During this period, the Capri was based on the same Fox platform as the Mustang and the two cars had much in common. The car you see here is owned by Casey Kolder of Freedom, Pennsylvania, and was first brought into the Kolder family when it was purchased by Casey's older brother in 1989 for the modest sum of $900. At that time it was an overly tired four-cylinder transportation special with a four-speed manual transmission. Before too long the older brother tossed the four-cylinder engine and manual transmission and a 5.0L V-8 and C4 automatic transmission package found its way between the front rails. It was an enormous performance and fun factor improvement. Thusly refreshed and repowered, the car served as a daily driver until Casey bought the Capri from his brother the next year. It was then that the more serious performance modifications began to happen.inline_mediumwraptextright25496171/featuredvehicles/mdmp_0912_1979_mercury_caprimdmp_0912_03_+1979_mer cury_capri+reaview_angle.jpgTrue
