This amazing example of a 1982 Mercury Capri GS is the perfect car for someone who wants to get in on the collectible car market and have a machine they can rely on for daily use and Car Show Cruising!

Please review the 75 LARGE PHOTOS and read the detailed description below, hen feel free to call me at (941)286-0889 with any additional questions or to make it yours!

THIS IS NOT A CONSIGNMENT CAR! I have the clean and clear title in hand, nd the car is ready for immediate sale, elivery, nd ownership.

CONDITION REPORT

When I first laid eyes on this incredible Capri, he first thing I did was let my mind go back 10 years to try and think of when I had seen ANY Capri last, et alone one that has been as lovingly cared for and maintained as this one has! I bet you’re doing the same thing right now!

This is a show-quality car that still runs, rives, andles, nd performs so good you could make it your daily driver if you wanted.

The first thing to grab you is the appearance.

The Dark Blue Metallic paint on the car was redone at considerable expense by the prior owner, nd great care has been taken in assuring that it was waxed, etailed, nd carefully maintained so it would last another 30 odd years!

Yes, t does have some blemishes onit, utcertainly nothing that constitutes damage or disrepair. No sign of dents, ings, reases, ig chips, r anything else, ustsome minor little stone chips, ight scuffs, ndtypical finishflawsto be found.

The finish is overall glossy, lick, nd wet looking, nd really gleams in the sunlight! At night, t takes on such a beautiful cast under the streetlights glow that it takes your breath away.

The black trim on the car is in wonderful condition, ith just one small little chip on the bottom corner of the driver window a few millimeters in size to be found.

Mirrors show very light patina but still look amazing.

Cowl vent shows very light patina on the trailing edge.

Wiper arms show light patina.

Antenna shows light patina.

Hood scoop looks fantastic, nd has a color-matched 302 decal on the side that you can remove if you don’t appreciate.

Hood vents look fantastic too.

Door handles, ail lamp units, eadlamp buckets, nd grill all look fantastic!

Front air dam shows no damage, nd looks amazing with the factory correct S.E.V. MARCHAL fog lamps with covers in the lower section.

All badging is like new around the car.

Side mouldings are in very good condition.

Pop out moonroof looks amazing, nd the metal trim band shows only light patina from age.

All of the rubber, eals, eather stripping, uzzies, tc. on the car looks to be in very good to excellent condition with no cracks, otting, r dryness evident.

Inside, he dash pad is crack, un fade, amage, nd issue free.

Dash face is trimmed in woodgrain and shows only very light patina.

The 3-SPOKE steering wheel looks fantastic, nd only the outer cover shows sun fade and wear.

Center console is in amazing condition, nd the lid for the console is intact and functioning as it should, long with the ashtray lid and cigar lighter.

Door panels are like new, s are the pillar covers, nd rear panels.

Kick panels and rear cargo panels show light scuff marks from cargo and shows, ut still are above average in

condition.

Headliner is excellent save for one small 3/8” rub mark on the right rear corner of the sunroof.

Seats and seat upholstery are in exceptional condition, nd really show wonderfully.

Carpeting is in very good condition, nd shows only light signs of use.

Rear hatch area looks amazing, nd the struts work to hold it up like they should. The black bag for the moonroof storage looks great too!

The emergency brake works as it should.

The dash lights work.

The air conditioning works and blows cold air.

Heater/Defroster works.

All of the gauges appear to work correctly.

Wipers work.

Turn signals work.

High beam/low beam headlamps work.

Turn signal mounted horn works.

An AM/FM CD modern style head unit was installed in the car, ut never hooked up, s the prior owner enjoyed the sound of the V8 more than the radio.

Glove box is in great looking and working condition, nd houses the faceplate storage box for the radio as well as the wheel lock.

Dome light works on the inside of the car.

The fog lights are not working.

All of the glass on the car is in amazing condition, ith only the faintest marks from normal use and no chips or cracks.

Under the hood is the stout 5.0 V8 which shows very well, ut does have dirt, rime, nd other signs of being driven.

Wouldn’t take much to detail it up more, ut it is certainly worthy of opening the hood at a car show as it sits.

There is a mix of original, OS, nd aftermarket upgraded parts under the hood, ll done with the intent of making it a reliable and easy to maintain Sunday cruiser.

The car starts with a twist of the key, dles smoothly thanks to vacuum lines which are actually hooked up, nd is ready to roll whenever you are.

The sound is FANTASTIC, hanks to the FORD headers he installed, nd the Flowmaster style exhaust system that lets everyone know a fox body is coming at them!

The prior owner was a parts manager for FORD/MERCURY for years, nd was nice enough to include his original shop manual and parts manual for the lucky new owner. This was his pride and joy, nd he made sure everything was right on it before heading out on trips with his family.

The car drives, andles, nd performs like a much newer car, nd I have personally put about 58 miles on it since I

acquired it. I’ve had it up to 85 on the freeway with no issues, nd idled it down to the beach in mile long traffic without anything odd happening.

Everything mechanical does what it should, nd it doesn’t get hot, ct funny, kip or burble, r anything else.

It is kind of like it is 1983 and you are test driving one at a dealership!

Stops on a dime, ith no pulling, ander, r excessive fade/modulation.

Rides super smooth and has solid steering input and feel.

I strongly believe you could fly in and drive this CAPRI home anywhere in the lower 48 without issue.

The undercarriage is super clean, nd just bare metal, ith no goop or “undercoating” used to cover up things. Bare metal with light patina from age, nd that’s the way I like to see them!

I can’t think of anything else to tell you, ut if you have questions, eed to see other photos that I have not provided below, r want to buy it now, ust call me at (941)286-0889.

I will gladly welcome independent inspections prior to bidding on the car, lease call me to arrange.

Mileage listed is what appears on the working odometer. It is listed as EXEMPT on the title.

I am 100% up front, onest, nd list my cars objectively. If you are 100% honest, p front, ead the listing and review my photos, nd have your funds in place, e will get along just fine.
