Description of 1985 Mercury Capri RS |
|
Here is an opportunity to own one of the rarest Foxbody Fords. Offered at auction I have a VERY nic, lean unmolested 1985 Mercury Capri RS 5.0 H.O. 5 speed. One of only 3283 produced in this combination. Production numbers for the Capri RS were far less than the Mustang GT due to its nearly $2000.00 higher price tag 1985 marked some significant changes for the Capri RS. This was the first year of the roller cam equipped 210 horsepower 5.0 H.O. and the last year of the 4 barrel carbureted version of the 5.0 . A revised suspension also gave the RS much better handlin, long with 15"X7" Alloy wheels with 225/60/R15 performance tires. The Mercury cousin to the Mustang G, he Capri RS had a very unique aggressive styling that set it apart from the Mustang. This particular RS is exceptionally clean, oli, nd all stock. Once you drive this car you will know that it was never abused. Equipped as follows: 5.0 H.O. 4V (4barrel carb) engine, 5, speed manual transmission, imited-slip differential, ower steering and brakes, ir-conditioning (needs charge), ower windows, ilt steering wheel, old down rear seat, emote fuel-door release, ioneer AM/FM/CD stereo with 4 premium speakers in factory location. Als, 4 Brand NEW Falken 225/60/R15 performance radial tires (less than 100 miles!), EW 600 cfm Holley replacement carburetor, istributor ca, rotor and wires, attery, ngine oil and filter, ifferential oi, 2 new mufflers with correct tail-pipes. This Capri spent the majority of its life in Virginia and is rock solid. It was recently refinished in its correct color, edium Canyon Red Metallic Basecoat/Clear-coa, et sanded and buffed to a high gloss. Very nice driver/cruise-night quality job. Shines like a mirror. Clean, olid undercarriage. The interior is extremely clean. Appears to have always been a non-smoker, igarette lighter never used.The upholstery shows very little wear . Carpets are clean. Door panels are excellent. Dash pad has a couple sun cracks in center speaker grille. Console armrest-lid has a small split along one seam, ardly noticeable. Instrument panel is excellent, ll gauges and lights work as they should. All power accessories work as they should. Digital clock still keeps perfect time!This car has a 5 digit odometer which reads 00290, o I am assuming that it has just turned over, OWEVE, you would never know it by the condition and how it drives! You will not be disappointed. Mechanically this car excellent ! The 5.0 H.O. engine starts and runs flawlessly and has a sweet subtle exhaust rumble. The transmission shifts effortlessly and the clutch is smooth and positive. And when the mood strikes yo, his car runs like "a bat out of hell"! Overall the car is tight with no squeaks or rattles. Drives amazing for a 30+ year old car! Goes down the road straight and is an absolute BALL to drive. Gets the "thumbs-up at every stop-light. How often do you see one of these? At cruise nights the Mustang guys HATE the attention this car gets! In summar, this is a very unique car that is quickly rising in collectability and value. This is not a "trailer-queen" but a clean, oli, un collectible that needs NOTHING! You can drive this Capri anywhere with complete confidence. Not many left this clean and unmolested. Here is your chance to own a 'fun" collectibl, and without breaking the bank. VERY reasonable reserve!Please check my 100% positive feedback and bid with confidence! PLEASE read below !
