1984 Mercury Capri 5.0l Fox Body on 2040-cars

Year:1984 Mileage:160000
Location:

Portland, Oregon, United States

Portland, Oregon, United States

1984 Mercury Capri 5.0 (302) V8 5 speed manual transmission. I'm selling the car as I just cannot justify registering and insuring it another year when I rarely use it. The car runs and drives very well. 

Body - Paint is faded. The front valance is cracked in a few places. Some plastic trim around the car is also cracked. Body is strait though. 

Engine - Runs and drives great. There is a newer aftermarket carb with a manual choke. Recent camshaft replacement /w stock style cam.

Interior - Sun faded seats and carpet. Dash is cracked. Missing all but 1 speaker from the sound system. Heater works great

Powertrain/oily bits - Newer clutch and transmission re-seal. Front suspension is in decent shape, rear suspension could use some new bushings. Tires have lots of life left on them. Tried to run it though emission before selling but it failed for co emissions, Might need a tune-up 

I purchased this car a while back to have something fun to drive on the weekends. My job has since changed and I am now traveling a lot. The Oregon registration is due at the end of the month and I can no longer justify owning it. My loss, your gain. 

If you have any questions or need additional pictures please let me know.
This car is sold as-is

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
