This 1985 Mercury Capri, affectionately nicknamed "Coolpri," is the ultimate antidote to the sea of identical Mustang Foxbodies. Wrapped in a stunning color closely mimicking the factory available Sand Beige, this custom cruiser combines nostalgic 1980s styling with aggressive modern flair. Under the hood sits a healthy 5.0L V8 mated to a 5-speed manual transmission as well as factory power steering and power brakes, while the cabin boasts a custom dark green Recaro-style interior with retro plaid inserts. With its tight steering, comfortable road manners, and premium aesthetic details, this Capri is a turn-key head-turner designed to stand out in any crowd (even a dedicated Foxbody gathering) all without requiring a six-figure budget.
BODY OVERVIEW:
The bold, bubble-back silhouette of the late-model Capri is highly celebrated by Foxbody enthusiasts, and "Coolpri" elevates these lines to a whole new level. Between the unique hatch design, and factory fender/quarter panel flares, the exterior features a cohesive mix of aggressive, modern styling cues and classic design touches. Tasteful body modifications include a custom-fitted Carter's Custom side skirts and rear diffuser package, which is perfectly complemented by black RS-style trim. The car rides on a set of eye-catching bronze ESR wheels that frame the upgraded brakes, while a pair of polished Flowmaster exhaust tips peak out of the rear, hinting at the V8 grunt waiting under your right foot.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
While this Capri may at first look like it wears a high-end, custom professional paint job, it is actually wrapped in a beautiful vinyl that is very similar to the factory available Sand Beige color. The quality of the wrap is exceptional, so much so that even seasoned car show attendees will mistake it for fresh paint at a glance. Because of this durable vinyl barrier, the exterior presents beautifully with a smooth, consistent finish that is remarkably free of the chips and scratches typically found on painted classics of this vintage. It provides the high-gloss look of a show-car with the low-maintenance peace of mind that daily driving demands!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The cabin of "Coolpri" is a masterclass in nostalgic, high-style customization that feels nothing less than premium. Occupants are treated to custom dark green Recaro-style bucket seats accented by tasteful plaid cloth inserts, providing superb side bolstering and a major injection of vintage European sports car personality. The driver is treated to a beautiful woodgrain steering wheel and matching woodgrain shift knob, while custom "Coolpri" gauge overlays peer back from the instrument cluster. Sound is handled by a modern JVC stereo pumping through a hard-hitting pair of Bazooka subwoofers, turning any evening cruise into a nearly cinematic experience if you should choose. The whole car is a head-turner from any angle, but the interior is what pushes this Capri to the next level.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood, this Capri presents as a largely stock 5.0L V8, maintaining the legendary look and ease-of-maintenance that made the Foxbody platform famous. Stock as it may be, this small block has plenty of power on tap and breathes beautifully through a pair of throaty Borla mufflers! The throttle response is excellent. The handling is exceptionally tight and responsive, thanks to a UPR front lowering suspension that dials in a perfect stance while maintaining a comfortable ride. Stopping power is handled by upgraded drilled and slotted brake rotors, working alongside factory power steering and power brakes for a modern, confident driving experience. Whether you’re looking for a unique cruiser, or something to carve up some backroads, this car will surely satisfy. This Coolpri cruiser can go from mild to wild in an instant–it’s all at the driver’s discretion!
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
You will love the fact that you can roll up to any local cars and coffee, park next to a line of six-figure restomods, and still steal the spotlight with this delightfully clever build. The combination of the high quality beige wrap, bronze ESR wheels, and that gorgeous dark green plaid interior creates a sophisticated, cohesive color palette that looks incredibly expensive. Mechanically, it drives beautifully with tight steering, comfortable suspension tuning, and a classic V8 rumble that sounds deep and muscular without droning you out of the cabin on longer road trips.
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
If you are a strict factory purist who believes all cars should remain untouched in their original 1980s configurations, the Coolpri is too cool for you. The lowered stance looks phenomenal, but it does mean you will have to exercise some extra caution when entering steep driveways or navigating speed bumps.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
This custom Capri is a highly sorted, turn-key cruiser that is ready to hit the pavement today. Buyers should note that while nearly everything is working as it should, the rear running lights are not working. Most of all, this car needs a new home and a driver with impeccable taste!
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
This car is the perfect match for the creative enthusiast who wants to own a highly unique, stylish piece of Foxbody history without the generic look of a standard Mustang GT. It is ideal for the buyer who appreciates European-inspired design details, values a comfortable but sporty driving experience, and wants a finished show-ready car that is ready to turn heads immediately. If you want a reliable V8 cruiser with immense curb appeal, a killer sound system, and a name that says it all, "Coolpri" is ready to park in your garage!
