Our Take:
  • The 1983 Mercury Capri RS is a lesser-known gem in the Foxbody family, often overshadowed by its Ford Mustang cousin. However, it holds a special place in automotive history as Mercury's sporty hatchback contender, boasting unique European-inspired styling cues that set it apart from the Mustang's more American muscle vibe.
  • This particular Capri RS with its factory 5.0-liter V8 and 5-speed manual transmission offers a thrilling driving experience reminiscent of the golden age of muscle cars. The inclusion of a 3.08 posi rear end further enhances its performance credentials, making it an engaging choice for enthusiasts who appreciate a good mix of power and handling.
  • With aftermarket upgrades like BBK headers, an Edelbrock carburetor, and Flowmaster mufflers, this Capri RS has been tastefully modified to improve performance. The presence of a short throw shifter adds to the driving pleasure, providing that precise, satisfying shift feel that every manual transmission aficionado loves.
  • The seller mentions a Marti Report showcasing the low production numbers for the paint and trim combo, which enhances the car's uniqueness. Since it hails from Colorado and remains rust-free, this Capri RS is likely to be in better condition than many of its peers, making it an attractive option for collectors or those looking to relive the early '80s automotive scene.
