Mercury Capri (1979)
for sale

Price: US $8,999.00

Description:

This is a 1979 Mercury Capri Convertible. Yes, that's correct, a 1979 convertible! You will recall that few convertibles were made in the 1970's. However, in 1979, one could walk into a Mercury dealer, purchase a Capri hatchback and have it made into a convertible. That's just what my father-in-law did. Just over 500 were made. And, of course they were the precursor to the 80's Mustang convertibles. This car is truly a piece of automotive history!
The car has been in the family since manufacture. It has recently had the engine rebuilt and rims and tires were replaced. I have the original metric rims if you are interested at a small extra cost. New brake lines and a new windshield were added to make the car road worthy again. As it is about 37 years old, it needs an interior, paint, and a convertible top (thanks to the hail storms that we have in the Denver area). Please see pictures.
